Is the Pickering turntable back in use again? It certainly was awaiting repairs at the back end of last season and if it cannot be used then we are stuck with the locos facing as they are now. Current instructions are that the steam loco is to be...

The turntable was made operational again in October and was used to release one of the LNERCA carriages during the multitude of moves they were doing in the latter third of last year. If its gone awry again since then that would be bad luck, but...

Who on here has a grudge about the NYMR.? I certainly don’t I do have a strong concern about how the railway is being run and the direction it is going in, as do a significant number of others, including volunteers and paid staff.

Apparently Donald Trump has done much the same (https://uk.yahoo.com/news/trump-spells-basic-word-laughably-215130932.html - in his case the word is "PLEASE" rather than "PLEASED") and people are concluding that his post "Was this written by...

Perhaps some good news i in order for a change - the latest update from Grosmont shed is that tubes have been delivered for 34101 "Hartland"; even though there are still quite a lot of roof stays still to fit, perhaps the end of the overhaul is...

I think we've had this discussion before - Flamingo Land are habitual discounters via local publications in the peak season

Presumably the possible June reopening figure is just going to be post-propping (though it is hard, for me at least, to see why the track and S&T all need to be removed for the propping work). It really seems, though, as if income is going to...

If you ask me, £12-13 for a thin bread crust with a smear of tomato paste, a bit of grated cheese and some thinly sliced salami on top is still rather a lot! Even a portion of fish & chips doesn't normally cost that much. The bitter at...

I would imagine that the NYMR's aid management are far too busy drawing up timetable revisions at the moment -v7.0 must be imminent! - that they don't have the time to read anything on the internet, but they really should have a look at an...

So it is the spare boiler from 3650 that is the basis for this replica? I just hope that, if the loco does get built, it will end up somewhere that can make good, sensible use of it on appropriately sized trains- SDR, Dean Forest or Gwilli,...
