I hope that the forthcoming NYMR Thomas event is a success and brings in the much needed cash. However, the bookings so far aren't looking great. The event is being run over eight days and there are 11 Thomas trains each day for people to...

Nice, very nice.I'll take the AEC's before the Leylands any day of the week. Although , (from bitter experience ;)) always carry a spare set of injector pipes for AEC's:D

silversteellady liked big.stu's post in the thread NVR Wagon Group Updates.
The last few sessions have been fairly low key, mainly concentrating on tidying and reorganizing stuff at Overton, a little bit of 60s re-enacting in Nene Park with the road vehicles (which meant a grocers delivery bike for yours truly!), and a...

Making a promise to myself not to photograph any further South than my postcode, my final images of The Great Britain from this year. Of main interest were the Aberdeen legs, conducted at times of day that I don't believe have been done in...

You can tell summer comes soonest in the south - because wherever that northern engine is, it's still dark! Tom

A good day out in London on March 14th. Just a shame that the route had to be truncated after midday due to a protest in Central London. The only shot I managed to get of RM1. [img]2026-03-14 RM1 ESSEX ROAD 839 by KING COBRA 92, on Flickr...

silversteellady liked alexl102's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Whilst I largely agree with many of the points you've made recently, I disagree on this. Pickering is important because it's the closest part of the railway to York, and the motorway network. At the time of writing, York to Pickering is just over...

silversteellady liked Cuckoo Line's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
The survivors there have pulled together magnificently to recover but it has set the line back years. Seriously I think we are looking at a much shorter railway in the near future. If Bridge 42 is funded then I think future running might be...

silversteellady liked Sidmouth's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
a bit off piste but at what point does the NYMR cease to be viable even allowing for running it as a heritage railway . The sheer costs of running and maintaining what feels is increasingly life expired infrastructure outweigh the railways...

silversteellady liked jnc's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Well, that is the million-pound question (quite literally, in this case). The recent news of the person who withdrew a very large legacy is very worrying, when it comes to the outlook there. If that person's expressed views are widespread among...

When people like Peter, who doesn't hide behond a pseudonym, say and do these things, it really does need to be taken notice of. The post I quoted may be a total figment but the fact that a date for the solicitors meeting was quoted tends to...

I have already done so and sadly this time round the NYMR no longer features in it. Peter
