Paul42 liked free2grice's post in the thread GWSR General Discussion and Operations.
A message from Ian Crowder on Facebook. <BJ> "As the railway's press officer, I have spoken to the Editor and the picture has been taken down. His argument was that it provided geographical context but appreciated that she fell from a road motor...

An excellent day and my thanks also to the Trustees and others for organising it. The star of the show: [ATTACH] Some of the components on display. As Neil said, the expansion links "look too good to go on a locomotive"! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

Paul42 liked flying scotsman123's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Give him a chance, he's got about 500 pages of catchup to do first! :) (And that's to say nothing of the WSR and L&B threads... :eek:)

Paul42 liked Breva's post in the thread Barnstaple and Yeo Valley Railway Trust - B&YVRT.
EA will no longer be active, but the company will continue to exist legally for a while, as things are wound down. The B&YVRT will now do the land purchases, and more that EA could not do. We had a shareholder's meeting, and the vote to transfer...

Paul42 liked Jamessquared's post in the thread V2 4771 Green Arrow to return?.
Even if the T1 successfully broke the record, for 99.9% of the world it will all be a bit "meh". A bit like the efforts people spend with old Grumman Bearcats and Sea Furies, going to Reno to try and become the fastest ever piston-engined...

No one will care about a new speed record, any more than they’d care about a formula 1 car made of Bakelite. It’s an arms race no one is competing in, a curiosity and little more. Mallard is an emblem of much more than a number. Simon

I agree that there is absolutely no chance of seeing Mallard run close to 100mph in the future. But as a restoration candidate for more modest mainline and heritage line running, I can see a considerable opportunity in having the loco operational...

Paul42 liked Big Al's post in the thread Vintage Trains 2026.
That post is so open and helpful. And on the 'other' side of the debate I think that enthusiasts/travellers also need to recognise that creative and dynamic pricing is sensible. It's what happens on the big railway all the time.
