The NRM certainly do seem to have a lot of faith in the Swanage Railway. In fact the Swanage Railway have been given so much free rein over the T9 that it does almost seem like it’s been donated to them in all but name. I doubt the Swanage...

I think the general idea is that 30053,120 and 563 will be used fairly evenly in future. 120 and 53 are both very capable of running everything we do, but 563 is harder work on a 5 coach train. Very capable engine but you have to be realistic,...

You won't see much of it - both piston glands are leaking quite badly. [ATTACH] Screen grab from a video of today's photo charter with it.

I don't think that the USA tank lasted in service until the very end. It seems to have been laid up in April 67, while 80151 succumbed in the May of that year. It therefore seems that Clan Line will be the only currently active loco to have...

I assume the past 3 days have been SLL days. Manston looked very good with its three coach train, a sort of Southampton to Bournemouth stopper (apart from the branch headcode). Also the new shed resident. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Thank you, glad it's been thought through and isn't just a "we want to go further" project

thanks for the summary! The loop at Dan y coed isn’t long enough for 6 coach trains either from memory?

quote a few aspects, as follows - many of our passengers have said they would like a longer ride ; - for coach companies which is an increasing line of business for us there is the prospect of a “drop off, pick up” one way trip, - The GR as...

Good luck! It strikes me that it would definitely be a good idea to say how much you're looking to raise and to offer some kind of benefits tier for donations. And some additional info like what length the extension is and what the plans are for...

Another milestone as road 2 work completed in the shed.
