A couple of shots from last night's charter with 35028. Thank you to all involved in the organisation and running of the evening, and what a pleasure it has been to have Clan Line on my 'home' railway. [img]35028 Clan Line Photo Charter -...

Spitfire liked Lineisclear's post in the thread West Somerset Railway General Discussion.
Perhaps the appropriate question is whether a traditional limited company is the ideal corporate entity to run a heritage railway? Apart from the absence of tax benefits and rates concessions liability to corporation tax could result in...

Must admit today saw the 47 pushing but it is what it is so at the end of the day I rather see steam on the mainline being helped at this time of year rather than not at all . Some purists will obviously disagree but hey ho .
