I wasn't intending to have a dig at anyone's age; if that was the effect then I apologise unreservedly.
Absolutely we should be preserving practices and skills. Part of my point was that we should build new parts for locomotives and carriages and new...
Hmm, yes I certainly understand the practicalities at work. It is another subjective matter of course; what is appropriate to preserve? Diesel...
Perfectly fair enough! It is - after all - a subjective matter. I would say though that the pro-BR contingent have very much had it their way with...
