A ballast train went out today. [ATTACH] As we had a possession and there were no services, we were in no great hurry, so did a few photo stops on the way. Enthusiast diesel drivers, see... [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

We left the lead 37 at Goathland presumably to help work the diner back. No issue with the loco failure, as I say I accept these things happen, totally understandable.To leave a packed train standing for 25 minutes without a single person...

banburysaint liked Obstruction Danger's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Unfortunately the above post seems to sum this situation up perfectly. Just had a few days near the NYMR and though it was good to see trains running again the whole feel of the place has changed. I didn’t speak to many people but one of the...

banburysaint liked Steve's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
When people like Peter, who doesn't hide behond a pseudonym, say and do these things, it really does need to be taken notice of. The post I quoted may be a total figment but the fact that a date for the solicitors meeting was quoted tends to...

It feels wrong to "like" that post, but if correct it is an awful outcome. There is a kind of implicit covenant that charities have with their donors: I'll give you my money, but in exchange you must spend it wisely, and you must demonstrate...

banburysaint liked torgormaig's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
Good to see it coming on steadily. I can't wait to see it out and about, not because I particularly admire the little loco but because work can then start in earnest on 488 (or 30583 as the forum's favourite Owl would prefer). Roll on the return...

banburysaint liked jnc's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I wouldn't go that far; I reckon (as a total amateur at brick arch bridges, admittedly) that after the proposed work, it should be good to go for another century or so - then repeat the process (perhaps ad infinitum). Why do I say that? As I...

very pleased to report (from my hospital bed, very irritated to have missed it) a highly successful first day of passenger train operation - 97 years since closure - yesterday at blythburgh station. around 90 passengers enjoyed what was...

Breva - and all who have already responded - our thanks. i doubt that SCC have often had such a number. it all helps - presumably - with their decision to pass it on to the district council planners, which might be good for us. lots more time...

OK, I did it, I found the model in the description of the video (need to scroll down), used the template, and added a few extra comments. Sent the letter as an attachment to an email. When the GWSR bought the line shortly after closure and...
