My apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, but I've just been made aware of this article in tonight's Nottingham Evening Post;...
Leicester may not have been a railway city but Loughborough can certainly claim to be a railway town; Brush made steam engines as well as the...
You're on the right lines (sorry for the pun) and if you work on 28 tonnes payload you wouldn't be far out.
Just a thought. Surely a membrane robust enough to stop weeds coming through on a long-term basis would trap water as well; which might not be...
Nice to see a "train's eye view" of the extension.... well done to all of you, keep up the good work.
Matt, question for you. I drove up towards Cardigan today in my lorry, noticed some distortion to the trackbed where the contractors have been...
I am in 100% agreement here; though my hoard of old tickets for journeys/concerts/life etc is somewhat more sporadic and ruled by my untidiness...
It's the ones hell-bent on playing at Fat Controllers who worry me!
Or keep digging! The logical extension of your argument would be that in standard gauge we'd just have the Bluebell, SVR and KWVR. If that. There...

That brings back a memory! Whilst duty SM at Loughborough back in the day, 1306 and another engine were being propelled into platform 1 dead by...
Have you tried Barrett's in Carmarthen? Congratulations on your remarkable progress BTW.
As discussed at some length in another dedicated thread, there are few preserved railways which would benefit from substantial lengths of double...
Tidworth was (and no doubt still is) a dump in either county! Back to subject; there is still a considerable amount of permanent way around the...
True; but there's a subtle difference. One is an abnormal load, a one-off, an almost unique event which will attract publicity and (hopefully)...
I'd suggest that the chief prohibitive factor would be that of transport costs. Hauling second-hand rails back to the UK must surely be a "coal to...
There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that the Carmarthen extension will bring the Gwili on leaps and bounds. Bulleid Pacific sums it up...
On the plus side.... no risk of bank fires this season!
Found this on the web, includes some more up-to-date pics; RAILSCOT | Photographs of Symington Biggar and Broughton Railway The box seems to be...
