    In making this a reply about price, you have completely missed the point of @burmister comment which as I read it is about value. He wrote which looks like it is about price, and you have answered accordingly - in effect "we are a long line...

    I was supposed to be striiping wallpaper in our living room but after Worcester I couldn't resist 28 with load 14 around Kent. First location is approaching Swanley, the second in Folkestone Warren west of Abbots cliff Tunnel [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

    That's another example of "please stop expressing ideas that I disagree with!" This is supposed to be a discussion forum! However, the idea in question came from Steve. He could not have been clearer. In his long held view the prime purpose of...

    A good few years ago @Lineisclear asked on another forum what the purpose of the NYMR was. I responded by saying that its prime purpose was for volunteers to enjoy their hobby. I was quickly told that I was wrong and the railways prime purpose...

    No. Sometimes things can go wrong inside a limited period possession on the mainline. Something has to give with time starting to slip. Reasonably and properly to get back on schdule with that project the time needed to carefully unbolt the...

    Tom, I agree fully with your assessment. I think the underlying problem for the sector is that a model that is based on the public paying enough to make heritage railways viable is becoming increasingly unrealistic. My personal conclusion is that...

    Newstead wasn't in steam or due to run that day - she was being readied for her trip to the GCR!!!

    Firstly, just let me say that as with several others here, while I frequently disagree with what you say, I absolutely support your right to hold the views you have, and welcome the engagement here: a one-sided debate is not a debate at all. I'm...

    I don't know where you got that nonsense from but I have genuinely no idea what events you are are referring to. Mind you that's always the problem with "if what I've been told is true". It allows slurs to be cast without the need to verify that...

    I think that last comment is right out of order. Also, it is better to have an alternative point of view sometimes.

    The problem with a strike - quite apart from actually mobilising one - is that it falls into the "something must be done, and this is something" line of reasoning. In practice it would likely just cause the one thing you are trying to avoid at...

    60103, 60007 and 60163 last year wouldn't have been cheap. There's also the ongoing hires of the autocar, 31128, 37688 and 47077, and 8 or so locos hired in for the steam and diesel galas. 92134, 44806, 2253 and 31466 are "home" locos but...
