    A lot of good points in there. To take the Bluebell as an example, we have something like 30 drivers, but only around half of them have diesel competence of some kind. Moreover, for the class 33 and class 201 that had generally lapsed at the...

    https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DQ8AFZvWV/ On Sunday 9th August we were delighted to host a visit by the Slough & Windsor Railway Society. During their visit, they kindly donated HC 1544 ‘Slough Estates Ltd. No.3’ to the Railway following a...

    I would suggest for the most part, you should politely reject such requests. Just because a heritage site exists doesn't mean that it is duty-bound to accept anything that is offered. That is, incidentally, the context of my point about a...

  5. Paul42 支持 RailWest 在 Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development 内发表的帖子.

    IMHO one of the key problems with the L&BRT for a long time has been the lack of formal, agreed policies on many aspects of the restoration and operation. Even the current 'business strategy' to some extent is very high-level and does not get...

    There was also a government proposal of using rail tank cars to transport water from the North West to South Central England in 1976 . There were problems, only new vehicles or foodstuff rated tanks could be used, which limited the idea...

  7. Paul42 支持 LMS2968 在 Fire Risk 内发表的帖子.

    The justification is mentioned elsewhere in this forum: the drop-off in passenger numbers when diesel replaces steam. Whatever the issues, unless the passengers turn up and buy their tickets, you're running your diesels at a loss, which cannot go...

  8. Paul42 支持 Selsig 在 Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development 内发表的帖子.

    I'm looking forward to the triple deltic loco required for the L&B's operations (a class 55 is 3300 HP, so a 10,000 HP, 2' gauge loco would be a sight to see!) For equivalence, the Funkey diesels on the WHR are 350 HP, the SAR class 91s,...

    An enjoyable day, Pullman Breakfast followed by a run behind the Hastings unit. I also gave directions to someone I know from Photo Charters how to go round the road closure. [ATTACH] [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] Thanks to all those involved in...

  11. Paul42 支持 Flying Phil 在 34039 Boscastle WC class 内发表的帖子.

    The shareholders of Boscastle Locomotive Ltd received excellent news recently that there has been a full and final settlement of the insurance claim following the theft of parts three years ago. It is said that this will cover about 90% of the...

    I dropped in and paid a first visit yesterday on our way back from holiday, so a few impressions. Firstly, on the positive side - the setting of Woody Bay is divine, and the place oozes SR atmosphere. [ATTACH] The necessary additions that...
