I requested a refund from Go Fund Me last night. I haven't checked my emails as to whether that has gone through yet. What has really annoyed me was the 'I'm not involved' in one post (1429?) followed a few posts later by a complete 180. I don't...

I strongly agree. I also seem to remember a point of view that, in the 1960s, it would be impossible to preserve much and therefore there should be a consolidated railway preservation society. That organisation became what is now the Chasewater...

Asbestos removal was done, to the best of my knowledge, several decades ago, when a start was made, working alongside the old platform 1 at HK, of replacing the 1930s sliding toplights with original pattern LB&SCR replacements. Unfortunately,...

It's been a while since that name has appeared on the forum. Does anyone know what stage that the other projects Mr Reeder was involved with got to (I seem to recall another carriage, and a fairly well stripped AB saddle tank?) Demonstrable...

Hi Mark, thinking about it overnight, yes, I do recall it was said at the time that it couldn't be used due to it having Asbestos inside it. Now I am sure there are many reasons why it is where it is in the restoration queue. Now I am not taking...

I got very disappointed the last time I visited the Bluebell (which was some time ago now), as the LNWR Observation carriage was out of service for some reason. The other coach I do like in their collection is the LBSCR Directors' coach. Many...

I think that's a bit chicken and egg- if you don't offer them, then folk can't get excited/interested. Equally, if folk don't get excited, I can see the cost justification being difficult. Most railways only have Mk1s, so the expectation is...

Absolutely. And harks back to my well-worn trope about carriages being Cinderella's pumpkins, which carry every fare paying passenger to "The ball". If every punter could be transported, using a beautifully restored 19th or early 20th century...

Agreed, the GCR-RST is in distinctly poor odour with me at the moment, supporters of the Trust should have been made aware that the collection was going to be broken up, rather than finding out randomly via social media. I also don't appreciate...

That, sadly, is a very good point !

There is also a culture where everyone likes the shiny engines but the coaches and especially the historic ones are just that bit more niche and harder to capture the imagination on .

I think the team doing the Maunsell Restaurant Car at the Bluebell had a fundraising target initially of £140k, but that was some while ago, so I suspect it will end up being more - that's with a substantially volunteer team. The Pullman Car 54...

Hi Keith, sorry I didn't make it clear that it was aimed at Stuart Reeder and not StoneRoad

Colin, @StoneRoad is not involved in the project. Your questions would be better addressed to Stuart Reeder aka @Stewie123 or @stuartreeder

And the advice given, which isn’t bad, requires someone who actually understands what the terms mean. Not in a dictionary sense, but actually in terms of what it means to pull that kind of work together, and really understand how it can work to...
