The NYMR was contracted to carry out the boiler overhaul during the loco's overhaul led by Roger Barker - and I'm sure they will have carried out other work too, some of which may have been paid for by "free miles". I don't think loco hire...

I don't think that is 100% true, even for relatively recent times - I don't believe 45428 has ever been funded by a benefactor, unless it was kept very secret at the time. As for 3672, I think as the overhaul progresses the paid staff will take...

On the other hand, the enthusiast orientated galas have been a success, perhaps because they are largely organised by people who are enthusiasts. Who would ever have thought that. On the other hand, I think it should be reasonable that the paid...

You'd think that, with so many non-enthusiasts filling the marketing posts that the enthusiast events would be mediochre and the non-enthusiast events would be a success. Alas, it seems not to be the case. I believe that the week long Thomas...

By "understanding" I really meant understanding why the paying public at large visit the railway. We know why enthusiasts do, and enthusiast events normally do well, but understanding what non-enthusiasts are looking for, and what attracts them,...

It's a familiar story around the railway I think - lack of investment. @Steve has already recounted how the loco maintenance budget is pitiful and we know that the PWay and civil engineering side have little to spend on routine maintenance....

I think there's a third leg to this, as the other two are really only facets of senior management (as distinct from task management). Over and above those two, the role of a Chief Exec is to set the tone of the organisation. There's a layer...

NELPG maintain their locos and the Essex Loco Society look after 825. Peter Best paid for the overhauls on 44806 and 2253 but they are now maintained by the NYMR paid staff, as are all the others afaik.

The majority of the fleet is maintained by paid staff, so clearly that is not the panacea that the paid management thinks it is. I don't pretend to have the answers but, far more importantly, I don't think the CEO does either. The NYMR...

One other piece of good news is that NELPG are planning to stage a special gala on the NYMR, featuring all four of their engines, on 24/25th October - if all goes to plan it will be the first time in 60 years that all four engines have been seen...

I know people moan about me moaning about the NYMR management - which I do out of ever-deepening alarm for the future of a railway I have loved and cherished since I was a teenager, more than 50 years ago - but I am not alone ! The following...

Steam sells. It's a vital USP of the NYMR. I've seen people turn away when they find out it's not Steam haulage. The present timetable is littered with Ds and ds, how does that look? The diesels themselves are class 37s and a 47, two in BR...

It would have to be an industrial-sized chippy! - but then, someone would probably competing to turn the waste into biodiesel?

We all have our favourites, but sometimes logic has to be worth taking into account! The decision to restore the Gwailor pacific has to be welcome but is it the most sensible one? Similarly, the restoration of the Garratt provided the VoR with...
