Only so much labour. The focus has been on those two. 7828 will be in traffic by the Spring Gala following it's own winter maintainance. No alarm bells.

People have short memories. Back in June 2022 I was paying c187p/litre for petrol (I no longer had a diesel vehicle so didn't record diesel prices) but it didn't really stop things happening.

My bigger worry of rising fuel prices would be the effect it has on passengers. A fag packet calculation: a 44 ton HGV gets supposedly about 7mpg, and a 10% increase in weight costs 5% more fuel. So let’s assume a 100 ton load has cut that fuel...

I doubt it will go away completely. Apart from anything you will inevitably have some railways where hiring a loco is needed to cover a shortage or failure. There will still also be demand at Galas and the like for visiting engines, but you'll...

Yes to the first question - it is the total coal consumption (tons bought in a year divided by miles run - I think it was about 2017 when I did the calculation but I might be wrong). So that inflates the coal consumption, you aren't necessarily...

The turntable was made operational again in October and was used to release one of the LNERCA carriages during the multitude of moves they were doing in the latter third of last year. If its gone awry again since then that would be bad luck, but...

They become like NCP and call in an administrator, who makes money off the back of your distress:)

I wouldn't say people here do (or don't) have a grudge about the NYMR (well, there may be someone, somewhere, who does; someone who has been harmed by then). What I see, rather, is two spectrums. The first is how worried people are about the...

Is the Pickering turntable back in use again? It certainly was awaiting repairs at the back end of last season and if it cannot be used then we are stuck with the locos facing as they are now. Current instructions are that the steam loco is to be...

Who on here has a grudge about the NYMR.? I certainly don’t I do have a strong concern about how the railway is being run and the direction it is going in, as do a significant number of others, including volunteers and paid staff.

I'd be interested to know @Steve 's view on water consumption. But a fag packet calculation - ages ago I calculated we used 63lb of coal per mile all told, and I suspect the NYMR uses a bit more (bigger locos, more sustained gradient). Let's say...

Almost everything, even the simple stuff, seems to be too difficult for the NYMR at present. It’s such a shame, and if not reversed will be terminal.

Meanwhile, in the North Bay at Scarborough a banner invites people to meet 37264. Sadly the people responsible for this are unable to spell the fuel it runs on... How many marketing Professionals does it take to spellcheck 9 words? [ATTACH]

Correct. The BG was used mainly as the Christmas store in platform 1 during the Santa special period each year. It was given a very quick coat of blood and custard one year to cover up the heavily faded maroon that it used to carry. It’s now in...
