    The NYMR really needs more operational locos but hiring in to simply operate the service costs money which is simply considered as part of the overall operating cost and I suspect that there is a reluctance to do that. However, hiring certain...

    Quite, I don't think there are many (any?) lines where one can say they are in a good financial position.

    Firstly, nothing I've said is from internal information. The accounts are publically visible and have been discussed on Nat Pres on the Bluebell thread. I appreciate the concern regarding this; I have no involvement in the finance part of the...

    Yes, something has happened! A few years ago weight restrictions were introduced due to rail wear. Those rails have now been replaced so larger locos can run again.

    I seem to recall repeated claims that the WSR needed the odd half million or so every year for a backlog of maintenance, without which it would have to close; no reports of any such moneys being received; and yet the railway apparently still...

    It is critical. We have a duty not only to our customers, but to our neighbours, too. Farms right along the line have crops in tinder dry fields right now. In one area, we have flax planted right next to the line. I am told that if that were to...

    Yes, 25728 is in need of work - it had the structural pillars done when it first arrived 30 years ago, and cosmetic work, but needs more now. As our last remaining SK, it's considered an important vehicle in heritage terms, and the company are...

    Lack of steam is the big flaw with the NYMR in recent times. I think weirdly its been even worse since the Gold timetable was binned. I used to be willing to travel to the NYMR fairly frequently because they were almost guaranteed to run...

    I can think of at least one fairly successful larger heritage line that has pretty much only Mk I coaching stock (although since most of them date from the 1950's, with a share from the early 1960's, they would, I think, legitimately count as...

    Area around the base looks dry now so, presumably, someone scaled the ladder and sorted out the ball valve to stop it overflowing - I am guessing that was the problem. Before a roof was installed it had all sorts of things dropped in the tank by...

    Well, there was that recent appeal for badly-needed funds. (Some lines have had to go that route, but not all.) Noel

    The cycles were paid for by the owners. It is up to them to paint them in any colour that that wish :) <BJ>

    Is it too early to ask what colour the bicycles should be? Tom
