    I would say an appeal for £150,000 and a project to relay half a mile of track at Snapper, plus the launch of the website, and an announcement of the membership scheme was all fairly big news. There was mention of a few very close pending...

    The new Barnstaple & Yeo Valley Railway Trust website launched on Saturday, along with an appeal to raise £150,000 to relay 730 metres (half a mile) of track at Snapper Halt

    IMHO the most important thing about the use of AI generated material is that the fact that it is AI-generated is made very clear up front. A sort of "this what it may have looked like if...." offering is one thing, but simply publishing...

    What Tom has just described is so fundamentally obvious that one assumes it must be data that the NYMR holds. If that is the case then that information should helpfully be shared in some shape or form at AGMs thereby removing most of the...

    There was a bit of a conversation that started about here: https://national-preservation.com/threads/north-yorkshire-moors-railway-general-discussion.29732/page-407 (when, oddly enough, we were discussing the NYMR accounts ;) ) though I am...

    I think expecting loco overhauls to be paid out of running costs is extremely optimistic. For example, you could spend £100k on an overhaul and depreciate it over 10 years, so £10k per year. If you are really cute, you put £10k per year away for...

    In my experience both Trust and Company accounts are completely useless as a way of assessing the health or otherwise of a Heritage Railway. Only the management accounts provide a “real” view. These organisations rely utterly upon cashflow...

    It's probably the two teak coaches at the back of the Castle's train that are trying to hold it back.

    An exhausting 3 days of riding, walking, and taking some shots. The Castles bark sounded great, and the T3 looked born to haul teaks. Fridays afternoon run from Levisham to Goathland with T3 at the head and Repton as banker was great fun....

    The loudest loco I've heard ! Pity about the on-going leak. The T3 looked great on the teaks. A good day travelling on Sunday with all locos performing well. The evening climb on Friday by 4079 will live long in memory. [MEDIA]
