    Probably at the end! ;):D (Someone had to say it. )

    I don't have the answer to the question of the extra £100.000, only the trustees know. BUT take the comment of 35B above, plus todays spot price of coal/ton, around £500 and the figure seems realistic.

    Seems likely, not to mention the costs of getting the loco fully commissioned and operable (as opposed, say, to having a signed off boiler certifcate)

    To build up a stock of consumable parts, pay off outstanding loans?

    Whilst I wouldn’t disagree with the sentiment that the works would have more logically/economically been done in one hit, I suspect that from a cost perspective the argument above doesn’t stack up. A fair proportion of the work already done with...

    Who would be on the planning committee eh? Damned if you do, damned if you don't. The planning process does have to be somewhat subjective, but in the examples I have seen, particularly those involving the L&B, much weight is normally given to...

    Maybe it will be modified to high sided configuration. I suspect very few people know the full story!

    1. Comparative numbers of the number of ‘valid’ (or invalid) objections or supportive representations are impossible to obtain until the consultation period ends. 2. The actual number of objections is irrelevant. The most important consideration...

    I believe you are correct about the swaps, however I would assume that 34072’s current tender will be repainted for use with 34007. There may be other work required on the tender for mainline running so it would make sense to repaint it after the...

    A couple of random things: The planning application to reopen the 3. 3 mile Bristol to Portishead line is 80,000 pages long. In general, I understand that Railways have steaming agreements in place for any loco's they run on their line and that...
