    The station exists at Holt with signal box , railway and attractions . Why rebuild something that is preserved elsewhere ?

    I think the suggestion is sadly lacking and i fear the good members of Nat Pres will tear the idea to shreds

    Moved from the other thread:

    1. Why have you posted 3 threads about the same subject - post it once and let people comment on one thread.

    2. Do you own the station site?

    3. Have you any funds to carry out any rebuilding work?

    4. Where will you get age appropriate building materials from?

    5. Where will the signal boxes come from?

    6. Martin made a simple comment regarding the fact that the station is now re-erected on the NNR - you didn't give a sensible answer to his question - why do this when the station exists?

    7. What do you mean by 'the normal railway'? Are you starting up a new heritage railway?

    8. How many are involved in your group and what timescales are you working to?

    9. Put your name to your post - people will not take you seriously if they can only talk to someone calling themselves 'thelocomotivelord' or 'thetrainmaster97'

    10. Please try to make an effort with spelling and grammar - I know some people have problems with these, but it makes it so much easier to understand what you're saying if we can read it easily. There are tools to help with this if you need them.

    You're going to fine me???

    I notice you didn't answer any of my questions, so I can only assume that this is another pie in the sky scheme by a dreamer, with no money, no assets and no support.

    Prove me wrong.

    I wondered why my photo suddenly shot up with views. :D

    All of the track bed from stalham to Honing in still there. Houses are now on the site where I took the photos.
    Im unsure this will work due to the track bed being part of the "Weevers way". I would like to see it work but Its not going to happen, too many obsticals.
