Bluenosejohn liked Kingscross's post in the thread Avon Valley Railway Updates and Videos.
Network Rail allowed the AVR to takeover a carriage of the inspiration train during its stay at Bristol Temple Meads this weekend. It was extremely busy yesterday and we had great fun engaging with visitors, encouraging them to visit the AVR or...

To quote one of the guys we work with recently when speaking to a client; 'Your lack of planning isn't our emergency'. I would expect this will be the ORRs stance, and I would be disappointed if it wasn't. Chris

Why should the Scottish Government fund something that other private companies have successfully funded themselves - imagine the response from LSL and VT if West Coast received public money for this!!

Bluenosejohn liked 26D_M's post in the thread Jacobite 2026.

Bluenosejohn liked Beardy's post in the thread Jacobite 2026.

Bluenosejohn liked WSR_6960's post in the thread West Somerset Railway General Discussion.
Thank you ! It's been quite difficult to keep this under wraps for the past few months, but I'm sure you'll agree that it's been worth the wait ! We wanted to avoid dribs and drabs of poor quality images in various stages of sanding down,...

Bluenosejohn liked acorb's post in the thread SVR Loco Newsy News / discussions.
Whilst I get the gist of your comment, it would be poor of me not to mention the amount of effort that has gone into the repaint. According to SVR News not one transfer has been used, Ronan O'brien has hand painted every single letter. Personally...
