    It's not quite true to say 32424 has failed, and certainly nothing related to Didcot. The clearance between the pony truck wheels and the rear frames is very tight, and that is being investigated to look to see how the clearance can be adjusted....

    Yes; also, one of the best reasons to keep things undercover is that it greatly retards decay, which will have to be rectified eventually, taking money and effort. Of course, providing covered storage also takes money and effort, which can't be...

    That’s true, but the existence of sanctions may form part of the education process. And this is one area where I believe that to be very true.

    [ATTACH] Running an hour or so late SR BoB class No. 34067 'Tangmere' speeds through Beckfoot with the northbound 'Cumbrian Mountain Express' toward Tebay and on to Carlisle with Mick Kelly driving and Matt Anderson on the shovel, the crew will...

    As I understand things, if you volunteer on any heritage railway you are covered under the railways employees liability insurance provided that the insurance does include volunteers, which is the norm. You don't have to be a member of any...

    After a lot of soul searching I’ve just renewed my membership. £60 is a lot to pay for four poor magazines a year ( I get free travel in any case) but I do want the railway to survive and prosper and being a member is one way to support it.

    As is well known NYMR policy is not to engage on social media but to communicate through other channels. However I think I can make an exception when statements about my personal views are represented as fact that when they are totally untrue...

  11. Spitfire vond 21B's post leuk in het topic North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    I’m sorry but I regard that as a somewhat silly reply to a serious post. Have you been a railway GM or Director or Trustee? It isn’t about creating bureaucracy it is about understanding how a place works and addressing where it doesn’t. We are...

    couldnt agree more. The failure by the HRA advisors and advice to recognise this is lamentable. Furthermore, the failure of many directors and trustees to be able to wear more than one hat is an issue….. by which I mean: Railways are typically...
