    I have another photograph which provides an interesting comparison to that 1964 shot taken at Corfe Castle. Here is a very similar angle of 30053, this time taken at Harmans Cross, with 31806 approaching with a two coach driver experience...

    The picture shows that both trains should have been pull-push operated but the incoming train is hauled by a BR Class 3 tank deputising for an unavailable M7. This makes for a more interesting picture as had a pull-push loco been available it...

    I think the bit I have put in bold is absolutely correct. Many of the people in the senior trustee / director positions started as volunteers and then became directors - rather than the other way round. So I think that instills a passion for the...

    I come back to this thread with an increasingly heavy heart having just enjoyed reading (something you can't say about the totally uninspiring Moorsline these days) the excellent monthly Bluebell Times, produced and edited by our very own Tom...

    I have already done so and sadly this time round the NYMR no longer features in it. Peter

    Real shame a negative head has reared within minutes of the post

    Good to see it coming on steadily. I can't wait to see it out and about, not because I particularly admire the little loco but because work can then start in earnest on 488 (or 30583 as the forum's favourite Owl would prefer). Roll on the return...

    I don't think anyone would dream of drawing such a comparison :eek:. The only common feature is the failure of the steam locos...........That apart both trains turned out very differently in the end:(. Sorry Alan but your post was unfortunately...

    I find it interesting that there has never been any suggestion of placing a weight limit on these aged structures. After all we are happily operating RA9 locos over a route that used to be only RA5 in BR days. I understand that last autumn the A3...

    Something tells me there isn't much competition - and if any category looks a bit crowded with entrants, well you just invent a new one! My hunch is no-one goes away from such awards ceremonies empty-handed. Tom

    This is hilarious, @60044 these awards don’t have nominations, this is an awards ceremony which is a big scam. No one nominates anyone, the organisation pays for entry. I had one ring me for my business, I told them no thanks, clearly the NYMR...
