    East Midlands Railway Trust/GCR (Nottingham)

    At least as importantly there was also major shakeup in the leadership (both overt and covert) of the GCR. The malign influence which the previous...

    East Midlands Railway Trust/GCR (Nottingham)

    Personally I won’t be making any further contributions until I see a sensible, thought-through proposal for running a meaningful service across a...

    It isnt even remotely close. The only thing thats closer is Loughborough sucesfully pinching the main line connection off of Ruddington Nothing...

    Trust me, it will speed up unification. Michael Gregory had zero, zip, nada interest in reunification or running a preserved railway north of the...

    To be fair to him, Michael Gregory was more than the MD, he WAS Cromwell Tools. He literally built it up from nothing, and made it into a...

    That’s the nice thing though. Money may give you leave to act like a spoiled child, but it can’t always do everything. It appears that in this...

    I’d be very interested to know where you heard “the other side” from, and indeed what “the other side” is.

    The GC asked him, politely, if he would mind behaving in a way that was appropriate to his official role - their Honorary President. They...

    Where did he post that please? Nothing I can see to that effect on his profile page, where he has beem posting his updates on the situation.

    Utterly incorrect, where on earth did you get this “nugget” from? Nobody asked Michael Gregory to remove his locos, so far as anyone was aware...

    That’s far more likely than any benevolent feeling towards the 47xx Fund. I don’t imagine that Mr Gregory is a very good loser.

    I wouldn’t bank on that. This loco is not being sold because the vendor needs the money, they have chosen to sell it specifically to these...

    I don’t see how you arrive at that conclusion Al, Michael Gregory has a listed personal fortune around the £500m mark. I don’t see him, or his...

    Fingers crossed, but I suspect that much depends on how intransigent Michael Gregory is feeling, and how determined he is to ensure that the GCR...

    It is, as you say, an assumption that they paid in the region of £300k. It would make more sense if they had paid significantly less than that...

    That supposes that the owner sold it for its market value, or close to it.
