    S&D Railway Trust

    My very simple point (I thought) was that the £78,000 for the shed etc at Washford agreed to be paid by the WSRHT hasn’t yet been confirmed as...

    S&D Railway Trust

    Hi Tom @Jamessquared I don’t know what you mean by a “dowry” for 53808? The SDRT does have some funds, but last time I spoke to our Treasurer of...

    Because I think myself that having the loco 53808 back in steam is only one part of the SDRT. For much of the SDRT’s existence 53808 hasn’t been...

    West Somerset Railway General Discussion

    @21B I’ve edited my last post and expanded on it since your post above. The WSRHT business plan 2024/5 this spring was that the £78,000 was to...

    I have certainly had conversations and email exchanges with many SDRT directors and chairman Roger Hardingham that 53808’s overhaul should be 1....
