lynbarn liked Brucklebog's post in the thread Helston Railway.
Usually in cases like this (but perhaps not here), there is always a charismatic ‘Big I am’ who will have an answer to everything & enough staying power to exhaust any form of discussion. You can rarely win against these types, no matter how much...

From their website, which is worth a look (https://www.helstonrailway.com/) "As restoration continues, the long-term aim is to extend the railway further along the original route and continue preserving the history of the Helston branch for...

I am trying to get my head around this, but as I read, it seems we have two organisations trying to reopen the entire branch line. One has a section open already, and the other group have just purchased a viaduct. My understanding is that the...

Judging by the tone of the public statement (Also now in the railway press) I would imagine that’s not going to happen anytime soon. Having seen more than my fair share of this sort of ‘Artistic differences’, there are no doubt personality...

Yes, good news. Much better than going to meet the gas axe. It was originally scheduled to go to the Bala Lake Railway in North Wales but apparently they no longer want it.

I've not had that problem on CS1 chaired sleepers, even those dating back to 1948. The nuts have always come off when changing broken chairs. One or two have sheared but only one or two.
