silversteellady liked Raimondo's post in the thread GCR Black 5 No 45491.
Juts wondered if there is any update on this loco? I know the GCR had a 'viewing day' in late Jan and I think potential bidders had until the end of Jan to submit bids? 45491 isn't in the shed at Loughborough any longer - but is it stored...

silversteellady liked Wagoniester's post in the thread SVR Summer Gala - 18&19 July.
My understanding is that it is intended to be more a 'small engines' style gala, which ties in with what's advertised to be running and has been announced so far.

big end has been the achiles heel of 70000 since her return to the mainline as far back as 1991. 70013 never seemed to have a problem in the same way

.... because the paid management thought that they could have an expensive night out in London without anyone spotting it, and they could use it to get the membership to stop complaining about the dire rubbish that Moors Line has now become now...

I find it interesting that there has never been any suggestion of placing a weight limit on these aged structures. After all we are happily operating RA9 locos over a route that used to be only RA5 in BR days. I understand that last autumn the A3...

The Spa Valley Railway (not my railway but I am an armchair member) have had to replace a road overbridge in this winter break. Probably a bigger task proportionally than bridge 42in that they have no paid staff. Theyve also missed their...

if it’s anything like an award I was offered when I was still in the fish and chip trade, you simply buy it. I don’t know why the Moors haven’t saved themselves the money and simply designed their own certificate and printed one out.

Bridge 42 (and Br.18) have been known avbout for a good while. I'm well on the outside of things now and I knew about it about 18 months ago. I think nothing was done until it was critical because of the financial situation. Similar could be...

I think you can go back further to be honest. My issue is that it was well known about that Bridge 42 was going to need work imminently yet nothing seems to have actually been done to plan or prepare for it until the full closure that seemingly...

Something tells me there isn't much competition - and if any category looks a bit crowded with entrants, well you just invent a new one! My hunch is no-one goes away from such awards ceremonies empty-handed. Tom

Just how exactly is the ‘winner’ of this prestigious award selected ?

Visited W&L yesterday. 1st time in 3 1/2 years. Moat impressed once again. Sir Drefaldwyn was the train engine with Chevallier slowly raising steam at Llanfair. Train turnout excellent and staff were very friendly. Train pleasantly full....

We had a similar thing last year, an email suggesting we had been "selected" for a small business award for South Yorkshire. Got as far as speaking to them on the phone, realised it was a pay and get some recognition type event, as opposed to...

This month's not off to a great start. Two locomotive failures and barely into April. Such a shame but things happen sadly.
