    There has been a lot of water gone under that proverbial bridge, some of it very good and some not so. I would suggest that no one shoots this messenger, but I refer you to read the following and then to make up your own mind....

    Could I suggest that you go to the L&BR website, click ABOUT, click L&B Railway Trust from the dropdown menu then scroll down to L&BRT Organisation Relationships, to myself it looks like the 762 club is an independant organisation which is asset...

    In theory, there should be more than enough money from LYN's steaming fees to cover LYN's overhaul; however, I can't give you an answer to the cost of the two boilers since I am not aware of any costs being made public. I would just hope that...

    Will they afford two boilers and an overhaul for the Baldwin?

  5. lynbarn 回复主题: South Tynedale Railway..

    It has been some time since I visited the STR, and to be honest, there has been a lot of water under that bridge since then. I have a feeling that the guys I got to know up there have all moved on; certainly one of them was working for the Brecon...

    The trouble is that failure to provide accurate and timely information about changes to what is on offer (and the reasons for those changes) disappoints some of the people who turn up for a ride. Whether or not they get stroppy at the time, they...

    I may, or may not change my mind about my current level of support for the STR. I wasn't impressed with the goings on in January this year. I want to discover the outcome of that --- I think part of the reasons for the battery & diesel locos...

    Thanks, guys. No sooner had I posted the above than I realised what the issue was all sorted now.

    This is the link I used: https://762club.com/news/news-update I wonder if this is an old website?

    I'm sure it is, though trying to explain those technicalities on a promotional video would probably have been counterproductive.

    I agree it looks like the website has not been updated in years (2022 was the last update), and I am sure the name Manning Wardle is owned by the Trust and not the 762 club. Other than that, an excellent video, well done, Stuart

    A really excellent Steam on the Moor, focussing on progress with the Manning Wardles. This is easily the best promotion for the 762 project I've yet seen (just click "watch on YouTube" and it will take you there) [MEDIA]

    And an early report, from Isle of Man Today, says that the funding has been approved. Great news! The report includes this: "Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall said the investment was needed to restore a ‘living piece of Manx heritage’ and...
