On paper, a heritage railway may seem to have plenty of steam motive power. However, in day to day running, things may not always work out that...
When I, somewhat unwittingly, started this thread in May 2008 (!) One of my 6 points was, Of all the proposed new builds, I would argue that it...
Leaving aside all the stuff on coaches etc, much more progress at the Broadway Station site today on the blog (weather was better than expected)....
Really, really good. It's going to get even better soon!
There was only 1 suitable choice really, Mk 1 stock! Some ex-GWR stock did arrive at the GWSR when the railway was being built up from virtually...
2807 didn't quite look as it does now when it was built in October 1905! :);)
What about the proposed steam centre at Stratford upon Avon? Has that now been shelved? A (quick) search revealed this planning application from...
2999 would be a good alternative. Well, one can only ask!
Many thanks for that, I was not aware that the application of the shed code was a very late addition to GWR livery. 2807 received its current...
See this excellent Broadway Extension Blog update for progress with the authentic stuff and other excellent work ongoing at Broadway Station....
Although the Helston Railway is a small venture at present and doesn't seem to be trying to be too ambitious for its size, it does appear to be...
BR Class 3MT 77021 anyone? It seems to have gone quiet lately on this one. The boiler is not the same as a GWR large prairie design but similar.
2807 sat under restoration for several years in the spot in Toddington Yard now occupied by 3850. GWR 28xxs and 2884s were a common sight on the...
As I understand it, from my visit to Broadway at the BAG open evening at the end of May this year, that is exactly the situation as you have...
I've not seen recent images of Hall Green Station and it seems in remarkably good condition; indeed, I'm a little surprised that it has survived...
It was missed. At the recent GWSR vintage vehicle day a number of my Lincoln Railway Society colleagues asked, Where is 35006 then? First time...
Meanwhile, despite our musings and comments on the state of the Broadway Station Rebuild, hard working volunteers on the Permanent Way Dept and...
The Tudor builders were very good at it and it was of course the height of wealthy fashion then. Image of Dunston Hall chimneys , Norfolk. Now...
Brunel had nothing to do with the Honeybourne Line, it was not authorised until 1899. Amending the 2 chimneys that are being built to suit the...
Oh, OK, a modified 9F then, I didn't know the technical term, thanks. So none of these survived then? Just as well! Any more updates on the 3MT...
