    I watched a video of the pacer running along the line. It sounded to me like the pacer was getting seriously scratched by the undergrowth and will need a new paint job. I think crantock's remark is an understatement!

    Preservation is all about working together. Yesterday evening, I popped over from the Spa Valley Railway and spent some time at the Bluebell, re-familiarising and assessing two of their Driver Inspectors on Hastings Diesels Limited's Class 201...

    The subtitles are auto-generated by YouTube (if you have the "CC" button clicked) - so not the fault of the producer of the video. For an automatic system they are quite good, but from time to time you do see such howlers as you noticed! Tom

    The Bridge 42 saga just keeps giving. In the latest Moors line there's a piece about it as you would expect. In it they give the updated fundraising target of £950k, split between the two phases. Phase 1 was the temporary propping 'Has...

    So what 3, 5 or 10 year plans have you seen from any organisation that do not look something like this (and I am talking about all of industry not just the HR sector). There appear to be things there that may clarify some of your regular...

    Rail embedded in the Concrete slab sealed with Edilon. This has been in place on Br 8 at Pickering Station for about 10 - 15 years or so. Very common on National network.

    Thanks Noel The 'silvery coating' you can see applied to the railhead and around other joints is in fact a posh masking tape to stop the glue poured around the rails and in the slab joints from sticking to where you dont want it to stick! The...
