    With regard to the Pullmans going to Whitby, the K1 took them there in 10/10/1999 as seen here, but I forget what the occasion was. [ATTACH] Peter

    Indeed. There is a chapter of Holcroft’s book about his experiences with oil firing in 1921 and again 1926. The SECR adopted a system based on Derby practice, and with a kit of parts provided from the main works, conversion was said to take 18...

    I'm not sure how the idea of converting a different boiler would be needed or that it would be a permanent or even semi-permanent arrangement came about. Many British engines have been converted for oil fuel going back to the 1920s. Several,...

    I had a memorable run to Battersby one glorious spring evening firing to Fletch (the late John Fletcher) on Tornado. We only went from Grosmont, not Whitby, and as you say it was a short lived experiement but what a lovely evening turn it was - a...

    There are many for whom Facebook's privacy practices are unacceptable, and who will not use them. Some are to be found here. While it is much more accessible than NatPres, on several levels, it is unreasonable to assume that all will use it....

    Its worth noting you can keep an eye out on ELR facebook page and other public railway pages without the need for a FB account.

    My personal view for many years has been that if each separate group has the same person at the top it is not necessarily the best situation and definitely does not guarantee continuity, and can very much promote the wishes of one person,luckily...

    Thanks Harold & Mark, Tomorrow Thursday and Friday should see the Northbridge Street level crossing concrete slabs put in place followed by fitting the new rails in the slab of grooves. Then next week is all about tarmac, barrier and assocataed...

    @5944’s post and my response seem to have sparked a lot of comment. I used the term park and ride and period shouldn’t have. What I think both of us are saying is than opportunity has been missed. The end of October is unlikely to be a time when...

    That's the thing. I don't think goths would be using the train to visit the goth weekend! But it's an off-season attraction in Whitby and people might want to visit for a few hours to see what the fuss is about. RTC wouldn't be running a tour...

    I think people are getting hung up on the term “park and ride”. Does the NYMR provide a sensible park and ride service to Whitby in the sense you’d understand it in other major cities? Of course not, it couldn’t provide a viable service on...
