Agreed, but I do see my points as positive suggestions in that all three either release much needed capital or dramatically cut costs. As I made clear the forward-thinking nature of the other suggestions is welcome and the lack of dissent from...

Despite having decided to become more actively involved with the KWVR I do find myself continuing to come back to NYMR concerns and over recent days I think posts have largely been of a positive nature and most welsome. The principle dissenting...

The new fencing looks like the same system thats used on the K&ESR now. Id guess its probably the same contractors. Only small and emergency repairs are done by volunteers. The rolling replaccement is done by the contractors. I think the same...

Ah, my comment was insufficiently precise (which would have been wordier and longer). I was only considering 'rough riding for the crew' from motion in the vertical direction, not in the horizontal direction. (I would assume the direction does...

Perhaps a business-person, instead? There are standing jokes about academic economists who can't do math! (Business-people who can't make the numbers add up often wind up out of business!) Noel

.... but then that additional use means it is being run at reduced profitability throughout its stay, and that makes it harder to justify bringing it it all sounds to me like running harder to stand still, which is not where the NYMR needs to be...

I'm taking an absolutely hard headedly commercial view. Your assertion assumes that the decision to hire is automatically attributable to a single event. It may not be - and the use of additional events within even a limited hire period may...

If the loco has been brought in for a gala, then its transport costs should have been covered, so I don't think that recovering should really form part of the equation; the moment it does is when I think the plot has been lost! That at least...

I absolutely agree with you about looking for additional opportunities if the loco is already there. When we have had "star" locos in the past, such as Flying Scotsman, we have run many of things you suggest, such as additional dinning trains...

I think it was Britannia, but I might be wrong. It's worth doing some maths though. Let's say your loco owner wants to charge £2500 per day for the loco, which doesn't seem outrageous for a star engine. You've had to transport it, which is two...

It is a long time since I last looked at one of the NYMR's CKs, but I think they may be later ones with formica interiors and later "sectorised" upholstery - I'm not sure I would pay a premium to travel in one..... AFAIK, "Garnet" is entirely...

I had been noticing, in the images, that there was actually a fair amount of fencing there already. Now that I look at it closely, though, it might be the farmer's existing fencing; every so often, the exact same sort of fencing (low, with wire...

And the ballast.. And the tamping.. And the fences.. There's a lot to be done still. But what has been done so far is magnificent! :)

Well, Newton's Third Law says that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction; so, if the passengers in the cab are feeling forces, the track will be getting equal and opposite forces. (To get perfect equality, of course, one has...

I can just imagine you standing at Pickering booking office, Tom, and when being asked to pay, uttering those immortal words. 'Ow much!
