    The NYMR and Repton are not a good match, in my view although it is good that the loco is preserved. I would have thought that a semi-permanent swap of Repton with something more appropriate on the GCR might help.

    Would they not have used D49s on the line in pre-closure days? They seem not much different from a Schools in driving wheel diameter and adhesive weight, albeit less powerful. Don't know about this running tender-first business - I'd have...

    Given good rail conditions, Repton will drag 7 up the hill to Goathland in both directions. However, any reduction in adhesive ratio becomes a problem. In theory, you need 13,538 lbf darawbar pull to drag 7 full coaches up the 1 in 49 and 6,648...

    It struggled for a while years ago because it needed tyre turning. After that it didn't seem to have too many problems. Due to its uniqueness and being so different to everything else based on the line, I think it's just one of those locos that's...

    On a visit to Scarborough sea front earlier this year there was a lamp post banner with "diesel" spelt incorrectly on it. It has since been replaced with one with the correct spelling. The promotion of the railway in such a prominent location...

    I agree. There should be both enough expertise and sufficient resource in the team to spot this, and it is telling that this is not the first hiccup. It suggests to me that there is an issue with culture as much as anything.

    When I'm posting things, or emailing to a large list, before I hit 'go', I always re-read what I wrote, asking myself 'how could a reader possibly misinterpret this', and edit it to make them all impossible (e.g. by replacing pronouns - which...
