Doesn’t look like there are any wheels with the frames. Are they stored elsewhere? I understood that certain parts from the firebox were kept to allow a new boiler to inherit grandfather rights.

I guess the important thing to realise is that “Head of Security” is presumably a function, not a role - in other words, you need to define who it is for an event, but don’t have to automatically recruit another paid manager ;). I’d imagine for...

That is all reasonable as far as it goes but doesn't explain what you think needs to happen in order to bring in the required couple of million pounds additional income a year (or save that much from the outgoings). Many members contributing more...

Time to communicate better and make the NYMR somewhere people want to put their money secure in the knowledge it will be well spent. Better commercial offers, trying everything and engaging everyone might not of itself fix the need for “millions...

I would find this counsel much more convincing if I observed signs that attempting to at least close the gap on trading returns were proving successful. While I'm sceptical about many of the ideas making more than a slight dent in the position,...

The other tanker out in the open; both are confirmed to be running in the goods train tomorrow. AM812 is in a 1940s Air Ministry colour scheme, which was reproduced after careful archaeology on the layers of paint uncovered as the vehicle was...

Up platform padstones and columns now in place, as mentioned previously, the concrete slab will be hidden by the re-extended platform length. Some stones have been removed from the platform slope in preparation for this. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Enjoy...

The latest issue of The Bluebell Times is now available (with Nick as the new editor, but I'll publicise here :)) Ambassadors from 14 countries visit to see the Railway at work 9F No 92134 arrives early for “Giants of Steam” - and an opportunity...

I doubt if the Ffestiniog model is adaptable to the NYMR or most standard gauge heritage lines. Take the WHR out of the equation completely and just think about the FR: off the top of my head there are five passing loops on a thirteen-mile line....

There is a basic premise here, a train shouldn't leave a station unless its going to make money. There are a number of different ways of achieving that, but selling tickets for the same train at multiple price points (but for different...

What interests me about this model is how transferable it is. Setting aside the obvious differences in managing steaming on narrow and standard gauge, I’m left wondering how staffing is managed given the remote location. I suspect there are many...

Well, quite! Though being a southerner, I'd pronounce the "H" ;) It comes back to value. I'm in the somewhat fortunate position that I can afford £100 for a family day out. But it had better be bloody good value for that figure. If we go on...

I disagree on (2). When I've visited and they've been operating, they offer a bit of a halo experience, and because they look different, draw attention. That works better when they're running as a set (even more so given the constraints of...
