    It gets worse the more you think about it, even using guesstimates, rough figures and trying to extrapolate from the accounts. I can't imagine lighting up a 9F is going to be cheap with current coal prices, and an extra loco is lit up solely for...

    When you read the numbers you do really get the feeling that the powers that be for this line are not in touch with reality. To repeat myself (and others) somewhat... Bridge 42 was known about long before the stoppage yet nothing was done in...

    'Warrior' hasn't steamed, to the best of my knowledge, since 1979 so if the new owner has the means it might mark a joint 75th birthday and 50 years return to steam!

    Can't help wondering if the new owner of Warrior already owns several Austerities....

    Plenty good enough for me. Anyone else remember the days when galas happened with NO visiting locos at all? ;)

    According to a newsletter sent out to members and volunteers this week: Due to ongoing concerns over fuel costs, uncertainty over one of the proposed locos and timing considerations, the event organisers proposed the 2026 Steam Gala be...

    It's pretty stark when you put it like that. When you look at the 2024 accounts, the staff costs alone (including pensions and NI) came to slightly under £10,000 per day, 365 days of the year. You'd better hope they sell a lot of keyrings! (To...

    I don't think it's just that. They simply can't carry enough people with the current method of operation. The majority of the timetable at the moment is 3 x four coach trains per day, plus one return trip with the autocar, and an afternoon diner....

    I looked at all the other ADOWT events and they all had their own images. So it probably is doing the first Thomas in a generation rather than some copyright demand.

    I dont think that "they" were around when Thomas last appeared on the railway. It was after all 30 years ago, 1996, now that he was last here. Peter

    I am pretty sure that all railways have to use images provided by Mattel. Just like Polar Express are not always of the railway the event will be at.

    I finally made it to Helston at the end of April. Very friendly volunteers and progress is clearly being made with Helston in sight from Truthall Halt. Good to see that progress is being made with clearance work and sleeper laying taking place.

    More sleepers laid towards helston and the newly acquired viaduct, I believe approx 800 metres of trackbed is in railway ownership beyond truthall halt. [ATTACH] clearance work on the viaduct has already begun: [ATTACH]
