This week has seen further progress on the Prototype GUV W86500. Welding repairs to two sets of door pillars are now complete (with two to go)...
This is very true. The boundaries however blur when you ask the question: is preservation sensible? Do the preservation economics justify the...
Looks great on the webcam, will be inspecting on Sunday but I'm sure its a credit to all involved! Was fascinating seeing the circular brick...
Ah I see. Target away then! For every supporter there seems to be 10 doubters :)
I think you are quick to presume that everybody here is commenting and not lending a hand/donating money. I myself live over six hours away and...
If the speed of the Cauldon Branch ressurection is anything to go by, I'm not sure "plodding" is the best word! :)

It would be nice to have a national standard, with applicants taking one exam/talk etc at their local railway (to make sure their safe) which...
Does anyone know the planned timetable in operation for "Quad Art Week"? I would guess yellow, with the Quads being the steam set, but I saw an...
