Small, yes, but a rather nice piece of genuine GCR architecture. I wonder if the building itself could still be salvaged and relocated, perhaps to the GCR or Quainton? Or is it too far gone now?

Some steam centres have survived, but the successful ones are those that have shifted to a 'living museum' concept, like Didcot or Quainton. They might not be the places for 'big engine thrash' but they can be very educational for family...

Just heard a steam train heading into Whitby for the first time in weeks, sounding like it was working very hard also. I went online to look at the loco roster to read no steam services are running due to fire risk! In addition to this we have...

On Saturday, some of the drivers were being assessed to drive diesel, hence the caution. With steam, the locos are normally driven pretty bang on 25mph. With diesel, it's very varied. I went for a quick spin on Saturday afternoon. On the way up,...

I think it's likely that the first rain will just soak in to the ground so it's going to take sustained rain before the " weather related service alterations"are reversed. Down here on the K&ESR there are streams and drainage ditches that are...

Really pleased to hear such positive feedback! A lot of hard work went into making this weekend possible at such short notice from many different people (including some on this forum), and your kind words will mean a lot to them.

Corrosion does amazing things to metal mechanisms (as I found out as a boy, working on boats exposed to salt water). I'm glad you finally worked out how to tackle this one. Noel

You may remember, Dear Reader, that about a month ago(?) we took a door off the workshop PMV...... we managed to get one hinge pin out, with a lot of protest, but could not persuade any of the remaining three to do likewise, in fact we were in...

jnc gefällt Robins Beitrag in dem Thema Oswestry Update.
[Ongoing thread drift]. I beg to differ (as does Google). Although "total" is a noun, the phrase "a total of" is acting as a quantifier (like "more than"), with "engines" being the subject of the sentence to which the verb "built" is being...

A tram museum later adding a town scene built on the site of a former quarry in the Derbyshire hills is on paper, a tall order. But at the time, tramways were being torn up whether the user base wanted it or not. And it feels like there was too...
