Sheff gefällt Drewry Cars Beitrag in dem Thema North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Sort of, as it was created by predictive text. Definitely guilty as charged though! The disconcerting issue for me are the three typical responses to corrections.. "Does it matter?" "Language evolves" "Don't be such a Grammar N**i" In other...

Sorry @Drewry Car but this did make me chuckle. And yes, as a professional writer*, I've been hoist by my own petard in that manner many times ;) One only has to take a cursory glance at the BBC news and sport web sites (two words) to see how...

Dying indeed, if the distinction between its and it's is so completely lost- or are you blaming that on AI?

So pleased to hear that you are to retain the swing out seats, so much a feature of colonial narrow gauge railways. One of the most surreal "footplate rides" I ever had was on a railtour in Pakistan in 1990. Sitting on said seat, swung out,...

Miff is entirely correct. I'm Maddie, I am currently responsible for looking after 120. It is most likely to steam next, although as you would imagine it is a slow process. 120 is in good condition with a recent works visit in South Africa...

All of the NGG16s have run previously including most of the bits of 140. They have also had most of the South African beaten out of them over the years so aside from the inevitable boiler work they are in reasonable shape. 133 is essentially an...

Good to see it progressing well. Presumably in pic #2, whoever can remove the caliper is pure of heart and shall rule England...:D

It's a bit more of a handful on a slippery rail. Putting the basically the same power through 2 cylinders and 8 wheels is always going to be more challenging. Seems quite capable though. It's a lot more comfortable to work on. Most of the...

I make no comment on the structural works as I do not possess any relevant facts & I am not suitably qualified. However this view may help people to see a more complete picture & address some concerns: [ATTACH] Please note that the picture was...

Nothing shown on RTT as going from Barrow to Carlisle today, so I would assume it still is. Thought the reopening is still some way off.
