    Came across this on Railbrit and not seen this mentioned here. Whilst I wish every group the best I'm not conviced by this plan. The actual branch itself is only a couple of miles long with little room for expansion (short of running trains into Dingwall (a proposed plan which would be uber-expensive)). The group is lacking in web prescence but I guess it will come out in time. Also I'd like to note I'm not involved with the group in any way.

    Interesting.

    I'm sure if they offered the Strathspey £135,000 cash, straight up, for No.17 they'd have a deal.

    I don't know if they have a tenth of that just now. £20k could get them Balmenach which just now is about as much as they need. Reading their comments about running steam on the Kyle line, theres a small bunch of large reasons it doesn't happen as much as the West Highland.
