Given how much it has cost to do restorations of locos such as 4110 and 4150 recently completed, I envisage a restoration of 80100 getting little-to-no change from £1million at the very least. In some ways, it does tell a story by showing how...

The bottom line is that the K&ESR is in an unusual position for a project which bought its first locos direct from BR. The Terriers are great and (as with the Bluebell and the IoWSR) still - and will - have their place on the railway, although...

Absolutely gutted to be missing this! I personally much prefer smaller engines on the WSR, so this event is right up my street. The return of 4110, this time in operational condition, will be a really great occasion. It really is a case of right...

Indeed. You get similar dynamics in the engineering side as well. Railway A may have its own workshop with paid staff; railway B contracts out overhauls while railway C just hires locos on the market and pays a daily running cost. In those...

This chair seems to have fundamental importance. What would happen to the grand master plan if someone moved the chair overnight?

The starting point (still a chair, but today with an orange jacket on it) is in the distance by the field boundary. [ATTACH] As you can see we were just 5 people today, plus the digger driver.

Am I the only person who spent about 15 minutes scanning carefully along all the sleepers before spotting the sitting device on the left hand side of the picture? :) Tom

I am so grateful that there are fit and able people, who willingly lay and maintain yhr track for RVR/KESR. Although 40 years ago I used to muck-in with the track gang at Quainton Rd, I was never the fittest. After moving my volunteering to...
