    BR Standard class 6 No. 72010 'Hengist' and Clan Discussion Thread

    It's a question I wondered about, too - are the Clan Group actually using finer tolerances than Crewe were able to in the 1950s?

    Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development

    And your solution without a CPO is precisely what, @Thomas Woods ? Agreed, but we are in a situation where at least one landowner has repeatedly...

    Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development

    I should start by saying that much has been achieved; in particular the acquisition of the Parracombe Halt site in June 2021 (Rick & Barbara...

    Lucky you - that's not been my experience, I'm afraid. Let's see what the next three weeks brings.

    Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development

    I don't take this view - what I see is people who care and who want to know what is going on because they want the L&B to succeed.

    Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development

    This must be correct, given that otherwise there is some (undefined?) level of opposition which hands a veto to landowners which is precisely what...

    We agree @Miff - my point was that the ned for CP powers to obtain all the required land (both to build the line at all and to unlock the Grampian...

    Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development

    Well that's perfectly sensible right up to the point that the circumstances change and it became clear that the CPO powers of a TWAO would be...

    Interesting, @Miff - what was the planning status in the RVR's case (which is the first heritage TWAO that employs the full range of powers I can...

    @Miff - fine, except that I understoof PP can be granted - and therefore clarified - in the granting of a TWAO. If this is correct, then there was...

    Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development

    Thanks @Miff - which given the repeated public positions of some of the landowners, seems a major oversight - or one which requires proper...

    Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development

    @H Cloutt - perhaps the fairer question is whether the TWAO application has been made yet? If not, why not - given that it is the only route to...

    Steam locos - what's significant, and what is at risk?

    I think that there's a balance to be struck: these are not just *any* assets - they're privately owned, yes, but they're also a very tangible part...

    Mangapps under threat - request for support

    Lovely shot. The building is one of the two at Mangapps from the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway - it's either ex-Horam or ex-Laxfield.
