  2. ghost liked flying scotsman123's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    Again that feels a little like the wrong way round, given the current issues are not primarily a lack of finance in the first instance, but more a challenge of what is actually feasible. I'd observe that significant sums of money have been raised...

    Oh no, @Lineisclear has a convert! ;) I'm still unconvinced that the charitable objectives are any kind of blocker on any potential expansion. Maybe I'm just a more liberal trustee than John or Ian (although I have said no to things in my short...

  5. ghost liked Meatman's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    There is always the prospect of rebuilding the L&B, talk of the cable car is merely to make Lynton access easier but not necessary, there are two deviations that might spring to mind, that's around Wistlandpound which is unavoidable and another...

    Thanks Chris, I was aware of the BRSLOG and I know that they collaborate for the loan of parts/patterns/drawing etc. but usually this is just one-offs. I was thinking that there is a bit more of a demand for new tenders in the near-mid future,...

    Is there a physical reason why it couldn't happen? (Apart from finance/ownership issues)

  10. ghost liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Rolling Stock For Sale.
