45407 approaches Montrose on Day 6, 23rd April. I chose this location for the composition, and was not expecting the loco to be working on the downhill gradient, but it was a very welcome bonus! [ATTACH] Another 17 pictures of the four Scottish...

When we read of the list of vehicles under repair and overhaul, it brings it home what a time consuming and expensive job it is to keep a heritage railway operating. [BJ]

The additional accessible coaches are much needed. However equally, careful planning needs to ensure the accessible coaches are easy too access from platform level and staff can put down ramps without being hindered by platform furniture. When we...

Slightly ironically the P3 would've been perfect for the first 3 months of the NYMR's services as it turned out. Likewise the teak set could've been used. Oh well.

A few more . Thursday 23rd. A quiet crossing of Auch Viaduct in the horseshoe. The water of the Allt Kinglass was pleasantly warm for a paddle !. Passing the Bardrill Road north of Blackford and approaching the signal box at Longforgan....

I know the word 'Beeching' is a bad word around here; the basic concept (which was in part, as near as I can assess, that it was 'wrong', morally, to have highly-used lines subsidize little-used rural lines) may well have been problematic....

Paul42 vond Dan Hamblin's post leuk in het topic Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
A few years back at an AGM I was discussing with another life member whether a nominal £5 payment should be made for things like galas. Very much in favour but I get the sense it's all or nothing with this approach, which probably a lot easier to...

That possibility is much closer than most members realise. The most upto date accounts reveal a £250,000 loss and the year before it was £500,000. This year is likely to exceed both those figures simply because the line isn't fully operational....
