30 seconds ago people were complaining about heatwaves and wildfires! Only in Britain... :confused:

The loop is required for 2028 to accomodate a third train set out on the line when the Sunday lunch Pullman train is in operation

They really are quite small engines. As built the TE was about 10,300lbf. Later rebuilds increased the boiler pressure to 16opsi and that takes the TE up to 12,660lbf. To put that in context, a Terrier is about around 7,500lbf. The Stirling O1,...

I know it is more fanciful wanderings, but how much tractive effort does an Ilfracombe goods produce/how many coaches could a replica handle? Just vaguely remembering a magazine article (maybe?) years and years ago mentioning in passing as a...

It will not be the first time. Again, "professional managers" who don't have a clue about what has been collected and stored for spare parts seem to have been going around the NYMR for ages, selling off what they deem to be scrap without...

That's good advice. I've already heard of items being 'listed' that are not the railways property to sell.

We're going off topic, but I still have my doubts. In general, enthusiasts like what they knew, with a bias towards the large and charismatic. So locos exported to operate on foreign railways that had no direct main line comparators are always...

I don't think anyone was suggesting trying to acquire the Irish mogul. I understood the suggestion to be rebuilding an 0-6-0 of some sort as a mogul, rather as the Irish one was, to make it a bit more suitable for many miles at 25 mph. That is a...

I'm interested in the mention of taxation. If the business runs at a loss (and a substantial loss at that, before subsidies from a supporting charity or elsewhere are taken into account) what is taxable (besides VAT on incoming supplies, which...
