We tend to think in terms of steam but, on many diesel locos, five people can easily be accommodated; and I don't mean just main line ones. At Middleton last year we had a visit from two Railway inspectors and we took them up the line on a...

There's no defined limit. It is usually considered that four is a sensible number on most locos but I can think of those where three is more realistic and others where five and even six can be on board without getting in the way. At the end of...

More than one though. To provide a meaningful service, even just peak hours Monday - Friday, each box will require two staff per day due to the length of day. In which case are they employed part-time just as signallers or full-time, and do they...

You’re right. My bad reading. :(

I get the NYMR staff & volunteer weekly newsletter and i've just looked back at it. No mention there of £650K or additional bridges needing propping although I do know that Br.18 has been mentioned previously. Which newsletter are you...

I believe it had new, slightly smaller, outside cylinders, lowered cab, chimney and safety valves. Open to correction on that, though; it was a long time ago I was given all the facts by @Aberdare.

It's not a massive mistake, but like @60044 says, it appears to show a lack of care and attention to detail. The updated timetable is now on the website. It's the beginning of May, the line has been running services for 6 weeks, and that...

Poor proof reading, as you say, but now corrected. It should have said 10.15 dep Grosmont 10.30 arr Goathland.

The NYMR is, and always has been, a wonderful railway but it needs restoring back to the wonderful heritage railway it had become, and then some building up beyond to take it to the next level - but that requires a management team that...

Steve gefällt Chris_Savs Beitrag in dem Thema Nice Day Out On RHDR.
Wife's birthday this week and nothing I fancied steam hauled dining so treated ourselves to best we could manage on RHDR. Should have happened Tuesday but RHDR had leaves on the lines issues, trouble is they were still attached to a rather large...

The preferred method of operating steam locos is smokebox facing south. However, locos are occasionally turned to even out tyre wear. Despite all the doom and gloom the railway is a wonderful line when things are going to plan and well worth a...

Maybe the production company asked for a class 37.

Wasn’t it a superheater flue collapse rather than a small tube failure. A significant difference.
