When I asked one of the Atlantic Team on AGM day, they said it was simply in the works to have a little bit ground off one of the frame rivets, since there was insufficient clearance from the back of one of the driving wheels. This isn't a...

Yes; also, one of the best reasons to keep things undercover is that it greatly retards decay, which will have to be rectified eventually, taking money and effort. Of course, providing covered storage also takes money and effort, which can't be...

Hundreds of railway stations were built some distance from the place they purported to serve. After all, whilst those 19th century citizens might have been eager for the potential benefits a railway might bring, they would hardly have wanted to...

I was there on Sunday and my experience was rather different. The TKh proved very popular with visitors and it was great to see so many people scanning the QR code on the cab side to make donations to Children’s Hospice South West. It was...

Quite amazed no one on here has posted about the Extreme Steam event. Just got back from 3 superb days riding both railways. Spent Friday getting some Kalahari mileage in, then in the evening enjoyed a round trip to Caernarfon behind a Fairlie,...

…. except in that case, the wagon belonged to a (very) local company, Budget Skips, and was being driven by a local 64 year old, who just happened to be the company owner. In his haste to get to his destination he was driving down a country lane...

I was on Camelot today, and it was fairly hot, though not unbearable - though next week will be worse. An interesting point about open-cabbed locos, particularly 65, but I suspect the same applies to 2999 (I haven't been on it). When it is very...

Near on impossible I’d imagine. Reinstating something that was already there is an entirely different prospect to building a something new, especially when it’s in the national park.

No, it is not necessary, and if the circumstances dictate, that is always an option. In fact, the land on which Killington Lane Station is situated is leased from the farmer.

KWVR membership is £45 for an adult for the year which includes 3 day rovers, half price on other running days, and discounts on galas and events. A day rover is £24. I've had membership there in the past and used the three tickets in a year, and...

Satnav is often a contributory cause of bridge strikes, when drivers rely on it instead of planning their routes. There is a long discussion on railforums.co.uk following the recent strike near Bedworth on the WCML.

The GWSR got so tired of drivers striking the Broadway bridge that they gave up and implemented the Hitchhiker's Guide heavy metal beam solution. ("Mr. Prosser: Do you know how much damage this bulldozer would sustain if I just let it roll over...
