    What you have said is true, but the NYMR needs Boards and managements to be able to work together, without egos getting in the way. That means a willingness from all parties to listen to ideas and suggestions. I don't think that is currently...

    One thing that has changed since my time on trust board, as far as I'm aware, is regarding the plc board. The rule used to be that nobody that benefited financially from the railway was allowed any control, so no directors of either board could...

  3. Sheff erstellte einen Anhang in dem Thema Fakeography.

    I’ve used AI frequently after we moved house to visualise what various building and decorating options might look like. It’s been really useful in conveying to the Management why my schemes are superior. Here’s a simple one I did today, after...

    August 2026 Construction Update Smokebox: Visibly, not a lot has changed and it still looks the same as at this year’s Open Day. But in the background, we have now received five rolled plates from Barnshaws (who made the wrapper) consisting of...

    Kidderminster TMD was an incredible investment by the SVR and associated diesel groups and has paid dividends in recent years by providing the SVR with a top notch diesel fleet in enviable condition. But it is also an admission that without those...

    There is an message here for advocates of diesel traction, and those bemoaning the slow progress being made with D5032's overhaul and the repair of D7628 - these jobs are just as time-consuming, involved and expensive as maintaining the steam...

    "Horribly wrong" I would suggest is a significant over reaction. It failed as older locos and indeed modern ones do from time to time. The train got rescued and went to a different destination but arrived back at Crewe 2 mins late

  10. Sheff gefällt The Gricing Owls Beitrag in dem Thema Photographing steam in the Karoo.

    This is most certainly a Don't Do This At Home posting! A very much draft double page spread, screen grabbed at very low resolution from one of two 1989 chapters of my South African Steam Loco memoirs book. July. Just about on the border...
