Some activity at the northern end as the track bed between Conwil station and Bridge 10 is cleared. Hopefully more news on this front soon.

it’s the stone arch bridge before the station. The arch is generally sound but as might be expected some of the masonry requires attention.

Just briefly looked at that website. And it occurred to me that if they went for main line running, given the size of the driving wheels, Network Rail would probably limit their speed to about 200 mph.

I understand your desire to point out the contradiction, and I get the joke, but I feel the need to be pedantic, and observe that in the real world, languages appropriate vocabulary from each other all the time. Ironically, English (the focus of...

That's the one. When we were in the process of buying 08694 from Booths (so, 2009) we met the owner, who was recovering components for that project. Having since sold ours to new owners, I can fully appreciate that these things take time, money,...

pmh_74 replied to the thread WANTED 60lb Bullhead Track.
Back in the very early days of GCRN (so early 2000s) there was a project to recover some track from sidings at Nottingham Midland. The further into the sidings you went, the older the track became. Some of it was extremely historic; some of it...

pmh_74 replied to the thread Bridge that Gap: Great Central Railway News.
The missing embankment between canal and Railway Terrace will mostly be a viaduct rather than reinstating the embankment. There was a video explaining why some time ago, but I think it largely comes down to (a) some encroachment on the original...

pmh_74 liked 73108's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Which, ironically, is exactly what we do. Train to Newtondale, walk to Levisham (a very pleasant one along easy terrain and, as a bonus, almost all downhill). Then we sit on the station and eat a picnic while enjoying the glorious peace and...
