The axle loading will be several tons lighter - 5 1/2 tons of water and 2 1/2 tons of coal aren't being carried for a start. @3855 might know how much the loco weighs compared to a standard Austerity.

I need to choose my words carefully but I think the wording reflects the writer and could have benfitted from some editorial oversight in terms of the message being given . Bridgnorth is a challenging site and on a railway (in fact any railway )...

@Tom02 . Most of the original platform at Swanage was demolished after closure by BR. Only the part near the station building was left intact. The preservationists rebuilt the platform to its original length using concrete blocks, I believe in...

I don't know, but guess as follows:- They are about 15% more powerful than a Jinty Wikipedia says (so it must be true...) that jinties could reach speeds of 60mph. They were certainly used on, and AFAIK designed to allow for, use on passenger...

For clarity, I'm not dismissing the value of these - one of my concerns is the loss of interest in the heritage aspects of the railway. However, my observation is that there's a difference between visiting a site, and paying for a more in depth...

I completely agree that new ideas need to keep being trialled on a continuous basis to find new money, but also just keep things 'fresh'. The SVR/KWVR/ELR keep people coming back multiple times a year because they run lots of contrasting events....

I almost can't wait for that length to be reconnected at the ends! I gather some major engineering projects (bridges, level crossings) will have to go in before that can happen, though. (Shouldn't be too long, though; many/most of them seem to be...

The willingness to engage, and the content of the engagement, are two different issues. I can respect one, and argue fiercely with the other. As for the role of the SMT, I fear you're right about the lack of understanding of prospective...

Perhaps I should have used the word participate rather than enjoy. I certainly don't enjoy getting up at 04.00 so I can spend a day driving. However, strangely, I don't mind cleaning out the blocked toilets, spending a couple of hours cleaning...

Can we enquire as to what happened to cause that change? (Genuine curiousity, here; not snark.) 100.00% agreement. I agree with him some times; and strongly disagree on others. I judge each instance on its own - not because he said it. Noel

In making this a reply about price, you have completely missed the point of @burmister comment which as I read it is about value. He wrote which looks like it is about price, and you have answered accordingly - in effect "we are a long line...

Sorry to wind this back a few pages; catching up. With respect, I think you're over-simplifying what is meant by 'volunteers enjoying their hobby'. I've never been a NYMR volunteer but based on my experience elsewhere, I have enjoyed being out...

If I may respond to your suggestions, albeit with my own views and understanding, for the most part, I'm in the pro Whitby camp. In terms of daily operations it costs relatively little and has the big advantage of the NYMR not having to maintain...
