    Quite a few NYMR volunteers work for WCRC although one or two have retired in recent times.

    Yet the chances are if someone did "upset him" they are no longer involved with NYMR. Some NYMR crew also work for WC as I understand.

    The 8f and the Hall both visited but a very long time ago.

    I'm not assuming that at all. I was looking at it purely from the NYMR side, "the Whitby problem", and what options the railway might explore. There used to be a working relationship with WC in the early days of Whitby ops. Perhaps the Railway...

    My suggestion was based around the "Whitby problem". The only short term fix to that is hiring certified locos but I fully understand that might not be viable. In which case the "Whitby problem" resolves itself, to the commercial detriment of the...

    Probably, but can they afford not to? They're always very short of locos for most of the season. The whole of the diesel fleet was out today, and other than no. 29 and Lucie, it seems 44806 is currently the only fully operational steam loco....

    37688 was being operated by LSL but isn't any longer, hence the long term hire to NYMR.

    Well either really. Assuming the certification has been maintained whilst not being used 44932 would be suitable, maybe 45110 could have been fitted for Whitby operations, which isn't "full" mainline kit. 48151? Then there's the diesel fleet too....

    A great shame in the circumstances that no arrangement has so far been possible with a well known Yorkshire owner of main line certified rolling stock who has been more willing of late to hire out locos to other railways in the county and beyond.

    I received a communication today, which is self explanatory. "I read the National Preservation forum on the NYMR.... I am getting concerned people might think the poster called Richards who has recently been quite uptight about another member is...

    This reminds me a bit of some of the conversations about the WSR, where everyone could agree that the line was too long, but no-one could agree on which end should be mothballed! The difficulty on the NYMR as I see it is that Whitby adds...

    I doubt this person dislikes the NYMR; I doubt fairly strongly that that's the motive for their frequent posting. In fact, quite the opposite; I would guess that the NYMR is fairly special to them, and that's why they post so much. I reckon the...

    To my eye this looks rather like a case of people residing in glass houses ? Who is he intimidating exactly, I’m not feeling it myself?

    Whilst by no means an exhaustive study, my impression of the posts @richards tends to make is that they are routinely critical towards fellow posters whilst ignoring the particular subject matter.
