lynbarn gefällt J Rob't Harrisons Beitrag in dem Thema Rolling Stock For Sale.
Well, until we know more the only possible answer to that is that it's the person who has shown the aptitude to -Contact the GCR-RST about taking the stock on -Get options for a new location to move them to -Get quotes from haulage firms for the...

That seems like a very minor difficulty, keeping it topped up, that’s harder!:)

If that's not sophisticated, I'd hate to see what is... building a particle accelerator?

lynbarn gefällt burnham-ts Beitrag in dem Thema Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
I'd agree, although I wonder how much the loco changed (on the Trigger's broom principle) between the completion of the Lewes & East Grinstead contract and its final withdrawal from industrial service?

The idea is that value corresponds to acreage, so @lynbarn isn’t completely wrong there. However, the issues around tax mean that the proposal is very unlikely fly.

Just looking at the Facebook page for Sharpthorn, I think you might find it will require much more work than has been realised so far, which begs the question, just how far do you go with a project like this?...

There’s currently a group doing exactly that, with the intention being to put it on display in Steamworks. They are on Facebook but the page hasn’t had a post for about 10 months. I did some prep work on it a couple of years ago as part of the...

Yes, that would be the better way to go about it if we couldn't purchase the trackbed straight away. I only suggested the above in light of the fact that some farmers would have been forced to sell some of their land to come under the 100-acre...

Better the other way round, surely ? i.e. lease the trackbed off the farmers. A long lease would protect the railway's interest but also give the farmer an extra income stream while enabling them to easily recover their land at little cost should...

I am only quoting what I was told by some of the staff at the NRM a few years back. I think the FR said pretty much the same about the Double Fairlie now at the NRM, and as it turned out, they now have two new Fairlies since that was said and...

That, of course, is the problem for all heritage steam locomotives; eventually, we discussed this on the Lynton and Barnstaple thread many years ago about LEW. If it were ever found, the conclusion was, I think we would be better off building a...

lynbarn gefällt andrewtopliss Beitrag in dem Thema Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
I think the amount of work is very high, lots of original material would be lost and the loco when done is only very small, so not much use! This makes it almost impossible to prioritise it over other locos which would be better choices. It was...

lynbarn gefällt Big Als Beitrag in dem Thema Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
Although I agree that my comment was not clear, I was not levelling any criticism specifically at the Bluebell Railway. It was a wider point about the arguably good situation where there are many locomotives that have been saved from the...

With this government playing silly buggers with farmers (don't think for one moment that their policy regarding taxing the size of farm has gone away), the trust could be a saviour for some local North Devon farms, if it had the money to do so....
