SSS4! (I know, it's already been and gone but the sight of a lined green 92214 Central Star stole the show from 34092 Wells IMHO).
It's a moot point about 'preservation' i.e. stored unrestored by a sole individual. This was nothing unusual in days past (and was salvation for...
I note that this preservation attempt has made the pages of the latest copy of Steam Railway. Perhaps SR would like to interview the enthusiasts...
I've always preferred the look of the earlier Halls ever since owning a Hornby 'Kneller Hall', but perhaps I'm just 'Court'ing critisism...
Well, for the landed gentry a hall is a home and every man's home is his castle... (Sorry, I'll keep quiet and act like a saint.)
(Well not quite from scratch - reusing parts where available, in true Swindon fashion!)
Considering the County's reputation for rough riding, interesting to note that the GWS have announced their intention to build one from scratch...

Sorry to hear about the fire - presume they were in the long siding approaching Wymondham junction? I travelled on the MNR for the first time in...
I think you've largely answered the question Stuart: I simply cannot see NR investing a large sum of money at either end to be only capable of...
Having re-read this thread from the start (it took a few days!) there are some very interesting points being made over what might happen in the...
Well, last Thursday was my first ever visit to the NRM, thanks to a couple of work colleagues who knew I was an enthusiast. Wow! Yes, there were...
I'm very late to this thread but I've just picked up on the thought that a certain loco might seize the chance to escape: "Hello? Is that the...
Don't forget the Barry Tourist Railway too! www.barrytouristrailway.co.uk They've got a vintage car rally on on 28th July and an open day on 3rd...
