Anyone who has run a small company will know that a profit in the accounts just means a bill from the taxman, it doesn't equal money in the bank,...
Not really. In both cases you have paid for a train ride, probably quite a lot more if it is public transport, and so feel cheated if you end up...
"Rail replacement service". One of the most depressing ways you can put three words together in the English language.
Anyone know of a wood-burning locomotive for hire?
The thing is, that once you have committed to run a particular service and the timetable is printed, then the vast majority of the costs of...
There seems to be a common assumption that a trip on the WSR is a BL to MH return or vice versa and there is no alternative. Shorter (and...
If it does, then you have got it wrong somewhere. "What the market will bear" is just the same as "the maximum the market will bear", i.e. the...

As a member of the WSRA, I look forward to our loco handling seven and eight coach trains throughout the peak season. There I was, thinking it...
I think you need to read what @Jamessquared said about water capacity and @Maunsell907 said about boiler power. In any case I wasn't impugning...
If only there were still watering facilities at Williton.
Ah, apologies, I had the wrong "too heavy" loco, I meant 9466, however, @ruddingtonrsh56 has made that point for me.
What puzzles me is that 6960's tractive effort is little more than that of 4561, which has long been considered "too small" for high season duties...
