Little plug for my home line, but to my knowledge the SVR C&W Dept. rigorously apply authentic livery to the railway's copious collection of...
That's splendid, thanks very much :)
I visited the BHR yesterday, I could only stay for a short while but had an excellent time, it is an unique experience and I look forward to...
After all this, I feel that my original post which inadvertently started all this off should be clarified. For the record, I visited on a public...
I am intending to visit Swanage this Saturday for their LSWR weekend; as well as travelling I may go and grab a few photographs. Can anyone...
A small point but one I think worth making: to my knowledge, NR footed the vast majority of the bill for the recent upgrades. The SVR's...
I actually used Tripadvisor as one source of evidence during research for my dissertation on visitor expectations when visiting a heritage...
Err...yes, I know they have the right to paint it as they choose. That's why I said that as well, which you selectively missed from your quoting...

Good places to start for full on manufacturing drawings would be STEAM Museum at Swindon or Search Engine at the NRM. Both have email enquiries on...
This is all getting very subjective.
Can't say I'm all that excited by an extra 15mph, especially at the price. 100mph, that's a full third more and of course has the magic. But 90?...
Look closer Michael, I've seen a few on the Valley let alone elsewhere!
The difficulty then would be, on a line such as the SVR for example, concerted rostering of locomotives and sets between MPD and C&W to ensure...
Tom makes a good point for vintage rakes, but playing devil's advocate... As Tom admits, one train has a buffet - what difference does it make?...
Perhaps there is a danger of seeing Ml1s as "samey" - but to the occasional non-enthusiast visitor, are they? Comments on quality and presentation...
Paul has admitted in as many words that there were convincing arguments for the KR extension for the SVR, so I'm not quite sure why you've brought...
The way I see it, moralistic pontifications are invariably subjective. Sure there's a line somewhere beyond which such events would become crass...
