    As somebody who regularly footplates on both the SVR and WSR I think you need to take a trip now on both to decide which is currently the roughest...

    7027 Thornbury Castle

    As the boiler itself comes nowhere near the loading gauge envelope that statement is open to being challenged. Wasn't the centre line of the...

    Maybe its time for a few awkward truths and rather direct comparisons then with cruise ships, air travel, HGV infested motorways and other much...

    West Somerset Railway General Discussion

    Yes there is a national shortage of suitable, serviceable and reliable locomotives which folk don't seem to get. It is about to get worse as locos...

    SVR General Discussion

    I have found the GM receptive to constructive suggestions. Hinting that you have some on here is frankly pointless if you are not prepared to...

    7027 Thornbury Castle

    It is no surprise that many (most?) of the steam locos now in service are operated in a way which earns solid funding for the next overhaul...

    Current and Proposed New-Builds

    The differences between a No 1 boiler & a No 7 could easily be hidden under No 7 outline cladding & a No 7 diameter smokebox. All that is needed...

    7027 Thornbury Castle

    Perhaps a non working but externally complete 4709 would fit the bill? After all it will be of little use to heritage lines and is unlikely to...

    Piston and valve rings.
