One of the things that I class as a part of the heritage experience when visiting a heritage railway is the issue of an Edmondson card ticket stamped in a dating press. It’s such a simple thing to do and provides an experience of something once...

I found it fairly easy to do so. Descending the bank from Goathland to Grosmont, once up to speed I’d drop the vacuum to about 15-16” which would be about the balancing braking to keep the speed steady. Some slight adjustment was always...

Interesting comments about scrape outs being preferred to hopper pans. In my NYMR experience hopper pans have always been the preferred option and, as one who often operated them, I’ve rarely had trouble with them. I’ve not come across the idea...

From an SVR point of view I know our crews prefer the scrape out jobs, although we’ve gone more for the stick a high pressure hose in and flood out job. Keeps the dust right down as it’s very controlled and we were having some awful issues with...

I don't think it has been met with howls of protest, and my personal view (sample size: 1) is that I prefer it. Hoppers always seemed to be one of those things that were great in theory but never quite worked as well as hoped in practice. In...

What do footplate crews think about loosing the hopper pans in favour of scrape outs? Does Sadiq Khan’s empire extend to Sheffield Park? Would you be allowed to fit air conditioning?:)

There's a lot to digest from posts over the last 24 hours. I remain of the opinion that Whitby traffic will remain the main source of revenue both to and from Whitby but there remains a substantial number of people who don't want to traverse the...

I received a communication today, which is self explanatory. "I read the National Preservation forum on the NYMR.... I am getting concerned people might think the poster called Richards who has recently been quite uptight about another member is...

I very much share @60044’s concerns about the NYMR. Where we do tend to differ is that I’m not calling for people to go, simply for them to change their direction and approach. However, I fear that this won’t happen until some people do go....

Most forums have rules against back seat moderation. Your posts have added little to discussion of matters NYMR but for reasons well explained by @jnc have ignored the motivations underlying @60044’s posting. For what it’s worth, I tend to...

To my eye this looks rather like a case of people residing in glass houses ? Who is he intimidating exactly, I’m not feeling it myself?

I doubt this person dislikes the NYMR; I doubt fairly strongly that that's the motive for their frequent posting. In fact, quite the opposite; I would guess that the NYMR is fairly special to them, and that's why they post so much. I reckon the...

Dropping the vacuum to 18” is doing nothing more than taking up the clearance between the brake shoes and the wheel. You need to go below that to get any braking. I always preferred vacuum to air brakes but that may simply be due to the fact that...

Why would the ORR insist on that? The ORR isn’t in the business of setting prescriptive policies about how heritage railways operate. What it wants to see is that you have robust processes in place to identify and manage risks - that’s quite a...
