Spitfire 支持 5098 在 Flying Scotsman Main Line Railtours Autumn 2026 内发表的帖子.
It doesn't need to be turned. Arrives from the west, departs to the east. But I would have thought coal and water were needed in the 20 minutes.

Spitfire 支持 Jamessquared 在 Swanage Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.
Yes, people often say uphill-facing locos are preferred because you keep the firebox crown covered on the gradient. Which is fine until you go over the top and the water runs away from you! So you compensate by keeping the water quite high to...

Why should the direction of a climb change which way round a loco should face? Tom

Spitfire 支持 Jamessquared 在 North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.
I think expecting loco overhauls to be paid out of running costs is extremely optimistic. For example, you could spend £100k on an overhaul and depreciate it over 10 years, so £10k per year. If you are really cute, you put £10k per year away for...

Spitfire 支持 35B 在 North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.
Absolutely - though I'd like to see the discussion at a board where they realise they need an appeal because too few people have died lately! More seriously, and with experience of benefitting from legacies, they are very unreliable as a source...

Personal comments about others on here doesn't not help the neutral of us on here being sympathetic to your views

Spitfire 支持 Jamessquared 在 North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.
Yes, but there are ways you could answer that question. Q: "Is it possible for members to ask questions from the floor?" A: "No, under [legislation] the business of the AGM can only deal with formal motions. Moreover, because of the postal...

Spitfire 支持 Lineisclear 在 North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.
Tom, Steve asked if questions had to be allowed. There can be only a yes or no answer to that. The suggestion you are raising is that even though there is no right to ask questions would it be sensible to allow them. That’s a very different matter.

Spitfire 支持 City_Steam 在 NYMR | Autumn Steam Gala | 24-27 September 2026 内发表的帖子.
An exhausting 3 days of riding, walking, and taking some shots. The Castles bark sounded great, and the T3 looked born to haul teaks. Fridays afternoon run from Levisham to Goathland with T3 at the head and Repton as banker was great fun....

Spitfire 支持 LittleRedTrain 在 VT: The Great Northern with Tornado - 26/09/26 内发表的帖子.
So that Tornado could leave the train with its support coach at Darlington, without having to shunt the GUV out of the way first.

Spitfire 支持 Michael Whitehouse 在 The Volunteer - 2/11/26 内发表的帖子.
I suggest it's not at all odd. The purpose of the day is to celebrate 75 years of voluntary run railways. Birmingham was and remains a core City involved in this subject (including by the way the establishment of the Science Museum where many of...

Quite frankly this thread has become John Bailey vs half a dozen people. None of you are going to change your minds how the NYMR should be run.

Spitfire 支持 21B 在 North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.
100% agree with @Jamessquared. The problems with deferring maintenance are; that the debt accrued becomes invisible to management as well the accounts; It also has a nasty habit of crystallising at the least convenient time often in an...
