I’d suggest that the so-called outer stone arches are more to make it look pretty than anything else. The Victorians were fond of decorative features on things that they built

Probably cost - cheap in the middle, pretty on the outside. The problem - to my simple office worker's knowledge - doesn't sound that serious. Re-waterproofing, and repointing, with some brick replacement - that was the issue with Stanway...

There were some photos (several pages ago) showing cracks and missing bricks from the bottom layer of the arch.

I would expect themto have more support underneath if providing any lifting force - following the line of the screw portion to the ground. Is the river navigable btw? Also, I'd not fancy liftting that bridge by hand, (for effort and H&S...

Er.. Yes... That genuine wartime Class 14. Unfortunately, one of the Austerities was found to have a broken spring on disposal Saturday night. There wasn't the time or personnel to get it changed before Sunday. So, in the best wartime spirit, we...

Judging from the photos, if it is a working platform for those repairing the brickwork, you’d hope they’d be pretty skinny! Tom

The CC are a weak regulator, under resourced and with narrow terms of reference. As demonstrated elsewhere (see other threads here, or look up the Actors Benevolent Fund), they will run a mile from anything that looks like it might remotely be an...

Not every old person with mobility issues (or like me just walking up a slope, let alone a hill) is eligible for a Blue badge.

"Eddystone" came in late 2006 to use the wheel drop. As I recall, one (or more) of the driving wheel sets was swapped for those from "Sidmouth" using the Bluebell's wheel drop; the loco then remained through into 2007 on loan. From reading the...

The structure of the bridge doesn't differentiate in any way between dead load and live load. (When doing finite element modelling of the bridge, one would of course have to, since the vectors - both axis and location - of the loads are not the...

I think it would be better if the propping actually made contact with the bridge if it is to help it take the weight of anything but I’m no engineer. Hopefully we will have all of the answers soon. My email contact has been in touch this morning...

I don’t expect them to, although I’m not really sure why they fail to realise that this a a group of railway enthusiasts, who are likely to donate to appeals but do expect some transparency on where their donation is going in return. I wouldn’t...

Yes indeed. But it is perhaps the impression that the original poster gives of expecting the railway to provide a solution to a problem that they might not even have been contacted about that might diminish the tolerance otherwise afforded.

It’s not about being tolerant, David is complaining about the railway not having convenient parking for him, but doesn’t have any suggestions of a solution- that’s not fair on the kesr. I’m sure a phone call before travelling would have given...

Ah, right, those could be used to apply upward force on the bridge structure. Right, but how much load can they handle? I am concerned that the truss on the bottom now doesn't have the load-carrying capacity of the girder if the original...
