Absolutely fantastic. The main picture has echoes of the demolition pictures from long ago that exposed the canopy. Except this time its in reverse! What a jewel in the Crown this will be.

All looking very nice indeed (and I don't normally praise anything GWR!). Now we wait for your tin-eared management to plaster it with 21st century anachronistic fittings. :( Pat

Perhaps it was due to it being a tad cooler but we had a very good Sunday yesterday as regards visitors and secondary spend. Some families stayed several hours riding on the large train and small miniture railway. How were numbers on other...

The hope is for a period of use once running in is complete, though nothing concrete at present, filling in for currently out of service 6695. 'Grumpy' has been doing a good job of filling in for the short term, though is not ideal due to its...

I think there are two separate conversations going on here, which are being elided, not necessarily helpfully. One is the “is it prudent to run steam in the current weather conditions?” question. That is clearly a local decision, based on the...

The nationwide steam ban is irrelevant. Its up to the railway to risk assess the hazards and make a decision based on their circumstances. At the K&ESR we havent been running steam engines on passenger trains since early June. The photo (DJ Bray)...

I understand the irritation over the absence of steam but the NYMR is far from being an outlier in having opted to run diesels. Many other heritage railways have withdrawn coal fired steam till at least the end of August ( or stopped running...

The fascia boards do have bolts in them already, I'm not sure why there are G clamps, except perhaps to wind you up? [ATTACH] In this picture the bolts are being fitted. You can also see the complicated layers of material to make everything fit...

How many weeks before we get to see this again I wonder? Manston departing Herston Halt, with a healthy shove from the 33 on the back of course on the last up train yesterday evening. Impressed by how many got off to walk back to the campsite....

I’m very sorry to hear about your sad loss. My mother died in her 90s during the first of the lockdowns and I’m still dealing with some of the emotional repercussions. I wish you well, sir and hope you have someone to talk things through with.

I see the fascia boards are temporarily being held on with C-clamps (and I assume lots of nuts and bolts are being used throughout the structure, too); all, of course, to get it up as quickly as possible, as the crane hire, etc are costing many...
