So much assumption and confused thinking there! Where are the figures mentioned in the first sentence? How many folk are NOT now visiting because...
OK we have a one day subjective survey taken yesterday on the GWSR and the near daily observations of Southernman99. The point is not which is...
The cost of coal is not quite the issue which it was a while ago. Prices per tonne are now around half those quoted at the peak. The depressed...
BR Mk1 coaches were not around in the 1940s. Does that invalidate around 80% of these events on other railways who have no alternative passenger...
I guess that the VT booklet was prepared a while ago. 7828 is back on the WSR but needs further attention before re entering service. The rostered...
WSR locos are 7812 & 2999 d/h.
To some of us that is an upgrade!
A short history best read with a cup of coffee! 7802 was initially purchased (with considerable loans) simply to save it from being scrapped at a...
Yes! Completion of EMFs own second 3500g tender at Tyseley is going up a gear now that 7802 is back on the SVR. Much of the work so far has been...
Surely the sad fate of 7027 rather amply illustrates the pitfalls of working on locos in which those volunteering have no stake?
That's quite a disparaging comment re the passengers who attend a diesel gala.
Its good practice to steam a boiler through 3 or more heating/cooling cycles before refitting it to the frames as those who have been in the...
And 7812 which will return to Kidderminster after its Gwili visit in March making it available for SVR service until it moves south westwards to...
They have to be steam tested out of the frames for full visibility of the platework.
We always lag and clad the barrel except for the section nearest the front of the firebox. The firebox is also lagged & clad as far as possible...
I agree. This would involve narrowing the range of rolling stock and locos to a time period for it to work. No place for your Cl 37/50/40/45 etc...
But only to position the expansion brackets on the new firebox sides by the look of the photo. Cladding one of those in situ would be a nightmare!
Profit implies benefit (to shareholders?) whereas "surplus for reinvestment" describes exactly what happens in the circumstances under discussion.
But many of those costs are for essentials. Heritage railway travel is optional...
As ever the market will decide including a dose of goodwill.
