I've only visited the KESR once, due to the distance involved, but I loved it. The scenery is OK but nothing special, but the things that made it...
I can accept that. I guess I'm just concerned that 563 has lost any statutory protection that it enjoyed as part of the National Collection....
I don't disagree with any of your post, except the bit that says I'm muddling up loans with de-accessioning. I'm not. I fully support loaning...
Good post Fred, as always. I'm going to pick nits. Don't take it personally! The NRM is now removing items from the National Collection, which...
My fault. It wasn't mindless speculation, it was irony. Maybe I should have punctuated with a smiley to make it more obvious....
Let's give them all away. Here's my starter for 10: Aerolite - Aln Valley Railway 1463 - Stainmore Railway 910 - NYMR 1621 - Wensleydale Railway...
I agree, the conditions would have to allow for 21st century engineering standards and operational requirements.
This headline refers to the ex-SNCB McIntosh 0-6-0 no 41.195. This loco was formerly part of the Belgian National Collection but was donated to...
This is the nub of the matter for me. There appears to be no statutory protection for historical railway artefacts, unless they are buildings (in...
I thought it looked familiar.
What is the coach, just out of interest? Is it a NRM vehicle?
I like the NNR. It's a decent length. It has nice scenery and stations. I don't feel that it particularly needs to go anywhere else. Maybe Holt...
I don't care for sloppy English, and I get the impression that standards are slipping across the board, on-train announcements being a prime...
When making the decision to conserve a vehicle indefinitely there has to be a purpose, other than simply conserving something for its own sake....
Some interesting arguments for and against restoring 563 to working order. Can I add: A restored and working LSWR 563 would, in theory, be...
But why the need for such secrecy? presumably this was also forced upon the SR by the NRM. As a democratic organisation, this seems like a big...
My apologies. Your postings seemed to imply some authority and insight from a SR perspective.
The SR are under no obligation to tell us anything, but it would be good PR to have a statement from them. 007, who seems to be their...
I'm looking forward to hearing what the SR intends to do with No 563. I'm sure they won't allow it to deteriorate, but how will they be able to...
Contributors to this thread are hoping that the up-side of de-accessioning this loco is that it will eventually return to steam. Nobody from the...
