Probably a good idea, but we are not so logical. The recent re-decking of the warflat showed that this PWay used vehicle fell between two chairs. PWay didn't have a budget for it, but neither did C&W. Now what? It was agreed to use old sleepers...

We've been switching from the planned steam timetable to diesel on a rolling basis, usually about 4 days in advance. I'm glad to say I am not involved in making those difficult decisions, but I'm feeling optimistic for the weekend based on the...

Oh don't get me wrong, we should definitely build a carriage shed! But I think we should build one with a primary purpose of it being used all year round. A carriage shed is certainly near the top of the generally agreed priority investment...

Oh, right; my memory is failing again. Your post a while back indicated that it was the Junction Road one that was (then) planned for November; my brain clearly swapped 'A21' for 'Junction Road' (probably because that would be in order, along the...

Thank you for taking the time to explain the plan for forthcoming work in that area! Ah, I see where I went wrong. I was looking for a list of bridges on the RVR, and could only find Maps & Features. It's a very useful page (I have bookmarked...

Thanks Noel, The next construction in the area you mention around Northbridge Street will be our earthworks contractor working across the C350m long field section between Northbridge Street crossing and A21. That comprising construction of an...

We don't only have carriages that would benefit from cover, but also newly restored wagons, which go straight back into the open.:( Cover is also needed for a lovely horse box on the line, as well as a GWR inspection saloon. I stood on a MACAW...

The money side of a carriage shed is an odd beast. If you use it to store operating vehicles, then you can see that things like the paint lasts longer, and you can cost out that benefit. However, you then get into the weird, somewhat non-sensical...

Cheapness is relative, affordability is absolute. Seriously, once corrections to product or price are made it takes a couple of years for word of mouth to completely reverse the damage. This based on observations of past situations. Sawdust.

The reasons for this are historical. When the Fledgling NYMR started, the intention was to acquire the line from Grosmont to Summit and the lines headquarters was sensibly centred on Grosmont . North Riding County Council then stepped in and...

Certainly when I started with BR in the 1980’s it was always said that the railway ran on TLA’s. (three letter acronyms)! You gradually got to know them through experience although when Railtrack came along, there were so many people brought into...

There is a huge amount to catch up with after spending the day putting a canvas on one of our Gresley Brakes today. As Acorb says, at the SVR we currently have 58 serviceable coaches, 78 in the total fleet with 12 red carded, 3 under overhaul...

Up to a point - in an ideal world, even if you didn't shunt stock every day in the running season, it would be good to have the capability to put it away during winter shut down periods. So the ideal is to have undercover space for everything,...
