  2. DavidW liked The Gricing Owl's post in the thread Spa Valley Railway - Latest News.

  6. DavidW liked Duty Druid's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.

    It were a naff day atop the hill yesterday weather wise...... it were supposed to be bright & sunny according to the forecast, but that didn't turn up until we were packing up to go home! Instead, it was dull, dank & wet which meant at least one...

  8. DavidW liked H Cloutt's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.

    Those people who are still trying to somehow show the re instated railway in a poor light are at best becoming desperate, they are jumping on any reason, no matter how flimsy, They will know all about the flimwell lights, the roundabout etc, but...

  10. DavidW liked Gladiator 5076's post in the thread Swanage Railway General Discussion.

  12. DavidW liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.

    Agreed, having only in effect one train in section north of Kingscote presents no real operational effect, due to the short section length. Slightly surprised watering didn't come up, though to be fair, the current water tower was only built a...
