Hang on a moment. Wanting to recreate a County is 'completism', but wanting a complete set of 8Fs from Crewe, Ashford, Swindon, Glasgow and...
Good point. I agree.
In post #618, you seemed to be asserting a principle along the lines of: It's generally cheaper to replace old railway bridges than repair them....
But I don't understand your wish to establish a general principle. Won't any railway spending hundreds of thousands look at the cost of all the...
As people have said up thread, surely each case is different? I'm fairly sure repairing the viaduct at East Grinstead cost the Bluebell a lot less...

Another piece of information that puts recent conversation in this forum in a completely different context. It's often a mistake to infer from...
Interesting post on the railway's 'Boardroom Blog' today, about the proposed investments in 2018. Given recent discussion here about the wisdom of...

That's what I used to think. Then I saw Tom's photo on the previous page and realised that long lines of shabby vehicles awaiting repair were a...
Yes. And that's what amused me about the utter conviction in your first post.
Have you been an eyewitness in many court cases?
Absolutely. Dark ages in terms of preservation, but a golden age of railway travel. When you look at pre-WW1 photos of the railway scene and see...
I beg to differ. Twentieth century designs are certainly very well represented, but there's not much from the nineteenth. A Dean bogie single is...
Nothing, in it's place. But we're serious players making important decisions to keep railways operating safely and profitably. Enthusiasts are...
