    So today Wessex Water have announced a hosepipe ban (first since 1976 is the spin). Yet I can remember having to detach the hose from the tape outside at least twice so we could fill a watering can without being accused of hose use, and we have...

    But being short of steam locos at a point in time is not exactly something unique to the NYMR. I can think of a number of railways it has happened to over the years. You can even say WCRC is short of steam loco suitable to be used on the...
