It seems to be only you and one other user who think the MHR is a a no-no. To the rest of us it is one of the most obvious lines for it to visit....
Indeed, it was a tongue in cheek comment to make the point that the SR have achieved several major coach restorations by contracting some of the...
Who needs a carriage works when you have Rampart Engineering! They have already restored two Bulleids, two Maunsells , the observation car and...
Very unlikely I would have thought. Originally withdrawn in 1945 around the time of introduction of the very earliest Bulleid coaches.
Although it looks presentable, I believe the NRM one is in quite poor structural condition and couldn’t run again without some fairly major work....
Indeed. If anything I’d suggest if anything it has become easier in recent years. Wooden bodies coaches of well over 100 years old being moved...
For the Eastleigh 100 event , 34028, 34070 and 30053 all travelled by rail from Swanage. 35005 and 41312 travelled by rail from the Mid Hants for...
It was given to a railway, that has successfully raised enough funds and restored it to steam within 6 years. It has an assured future at Swanage,...
The Swanage Railway had also set themselves in a later era, until 563 came long and changed things. 499 at the Mid Hants is being restored to...
There have been rumours of Swanage engine shed being used. The two issues being the T9 currently resides there, and I don’t think it’s big enough...
Absolutely , it looks fantastic. Amazed by the skill of that sign writer, especially painting the LSWR crest. It will the real jewel in the crown...
There is very minimal financial risk with the fish and chip specials anyway. I believe it’s just selling the customer a seat on the normal service...
It doesn’t matter what colour it is, the paint is only a protective coating……. if you’re paying for it you can choose the colour…… etc etc. No I...
True, so they have to re plan, perhaps bringing in locos on hire instead. But there always a plan of some sort.
A very valid point, but the motive power requirements of the railway also need to be taken into account. Most railways will have a motive power...
Indeed, it causes much confusion and amusement. I believe the Mid Hants once had a plan to modify it a bit more and turn it into a black motor...
As a long time supporter of the efforts to return to Wareham, sadly my inclination is now to agree with you. A founding aim of the Swanage...
The train is only propelled a short distance. The main part of the line is a loop, and the train is just propelled down a spur to get back to the...
Indeed, and I believe that was part of the logic in choosing a 117 and bubble car. One car can be out of service for repairs, with sufficient...
It’s a really a non issue for the SR anyway. If they want to mainline any stock to Wareham, all they need to do is lock the toilet doors for the 1...
