  2. pmh_74 vond Bikermike's post leuk in het topic North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    Also living in greater london, I am not. It's easy to forget just how good transport in London and surroundings are. Even those who want to go to the NYMR by rail will be lmited by route and by timings. Also, it was an eye-opener to me when we...

    Simply changing location does not change a person's mind or attitude, or make them a local. Tourism has been vital for the Exmoor economy since about 1870- and local people know and understand this. Just being a twonk from London and buying a...

    If you are successful enough to manage to build an extension, but have no more engines than today, then you can be certain that one will be available to hire from somewhere. There are a few people restoring 2' gauge engines who will want...

    I don't think the L&B ever had a diesel locomotive, but it doesn't alter the fact that you have got one. It hasn't sopped the railway getting to the point it has. Planning law is about the built environment; a planning authority has neither the...

    Must say I doubt that ENPA would take that much interest in the exact details of a train consist. And you can do push-pull, as FR did on the Deviation. At HSNGR (OK it's VERY short!) and at the Middy (which is a bit shorter than the track at...
