    If the whole of railway preservation was like Paul, nothing would ever have been built.

    Heritage Line Loco Power Requirements

    Out of interest Paul, what do you think 'heritage' means?

    Heritage Line Loco Power Requirements

    As it happened I had a trip behind 35006 this morning. It is ludicrously overpowered for the line and the regulator basically wasn't opened there...

    Heritage Line Loco Power Requirements

    Would anyone care to venture a list of railways which are so lacking in their own motive power that an out of use 3MT tank might be of use? This...

    Heritage Line Loco Power Requirements

    That is interesting Paul, because some of the engines 'resting up' at Didcot, Highley, Sheffield Park and others are 8Fs, WDs, 9Fs, Castles and...

    Heritage Line Loco Power Requirements

    I sometimes wonder if PH would have found Option A of the Serpell Report very appealing.

    Heritage Line Loco Power Requirements

    But I'm not sure anyone has been arguing 'too small'. As has been said a number of times, the right engine will depend on huge numbers of factors....

    Heritage Line Loco Power Requirements

    I completely agree. But as someone who visits around 20 heritage railways a year, I see very few examples of motive power overpowered for the...

    Heritage Line Loco Power Requirements

    So which railways do you think are guilty of this? SVR? Bluebell? GCR? GWSR? DSR? WSR? You really do need to talk in more than abstract terms on...

    Heritage Line Loco Power Requirements

    Not being very lateral there Paul. You mentioned earlier that there are few railways over 10 miles long which is true. But the number is...

    Electric Railway Museum to Close.

    I'm not deriding what they have done at all - they have achieved far more in preservation than I could ever hope to do. My point is that I am...

    Electric Railway Museum to Close.

    Crich is an excellent museum offering a bit of 'olde worlde' charm, a high quality of exhibits kept under cover, and an opportunity to take an...

    Project Wareham

    Class 68s on the Chiltern line, Class 37s on the Cumbrian Coast. Think that's probably it. Other mainline loco services are I think top-and-tailed.

    35018 British India Line

    This might just be me but, ignoring the 'renaming' as Bodmin, I rather like the black paint and TOPS numbering. Had steam survived for a few more...

    Avon Valley based LMS 4F 4123 (BR 44123).

    So why not get on and do that? I know what was said earlier but this is hardly a situation that has just emerged - from what I can see this has...

    Avon Valley based LMS 4F 4123 (BR 44123).

    The question in my mind therefore is, if this is true, what are the owners planning to do about it? Steam engines are never going to make their...
