    Well I guess if "our well-off non-enthusiast clientele" do care they will see bookings take a dive going forward. It all comes back to who owns it and how they want it to look at the end of the day. An argument that has been debated many times on...

    Hire cost of £20k is covered by two events each making £19.5k, meaning £39k revenue vs. £20k cost. You can account for it in two main ways: 1. Attribute the whole movement cost to the gala, and only variables to the marketed trains. That gives...

    This prompts a couple of thoughts. The first, which is where my post was aimed, is about the ability to flex a service in response to demand. There are fundamental engineering constraints which become more restrictive with size, and any...

    I think it was Britannia, but I might be wrong. It's worth doing some maths though. Let's say your loco owner wants to charge £2500 per day for the loco, which doesn't seem outrageous for a star engine. You've had to transport it, which is two...

    Certainly the "star loco" ones I have seen at the Bluebell and Swanage were what might be regarded as "pricey". From memory the recent Tornado ones here gave little change from £800 and I seem to remember a Bluebell set that gave about £5 back...

    I am surprised they have not had D/Ex unless of course the rule book does not allow. They used to fly off the shelves down here, often sold out before I even noticed them. Recently appears they do sell but even a few days before there is the odd...

    I agree with you on 1 and 3 and I believe that 2 falls in to the same boat. The teaks may well be attractive if you are there, but I fail to see beyond the enthusiast community and great numbers visiting because of them. Ergo they would be...

    I'm not sure the underlying business is sound, due to the arrears of maintenance that also need to be caught up on. But, accepting your premise, I think your ideas are all good and worthwhile, even if some (1 and 3 in particular) are likely to...
