JB Snell wasn't the only one, the SVR General Manager was another, and there have been other failures, in some cases more than once! (The...
For years people have been predicting that a major heritage line will fail, and there's no doubt that at least one has come very close but are we...
I interpret 37401's post as raking over the 6412 sale as a source of bitterness. That came about as a rare example of a democratic decision on...
Can I please borrow that apparatus to use on quite a lot of people at the NYMR!
I think its a bit more complicated than that - Hallett Oils were acquired by Caldo Oils a few years ago. This St Helens-based business was...
There's an appeal in hand for Beddgelert's restoration, especially poignant since Malcom Cameron, the "face of the railway" and Beddgelert's...
"An Engine House on the WSR would be pretty useless and not worth the cost of construction, as locomotives there are either in service or under...
Has the WSR Plc Board ever said openly that it only wants ex-GWR engines as its core fleet, for reasons of authenticity? This has always seemed...
Umder different management, though.
I wonder, though, if the WSR Directors have Directors responsibility insurance, and if it may be possible to sue them, rather than the Plc itself?

Well I for one hope that its stay at the MHR is only temporary. They don't need it, it has no real relevance to them and would push back other...
A lot of the costs of an overhaul are notional - for example the time spent by full time staff who would have to be paid anyway even if they were...
The NYMR have managed to become eligible to claim Gift Aid on ticket sales, so presumably John Bailey has advocated this, but the NYMR and WSR are...
In an ideal world I think you'd forget about 80104 and a single example of the SLL Bulleid fleet, they're just too big for the line.
Be grateful you can look forward to it. I'd like to see a Gresley K2, but I doubt I ever will.
Things change, too. Goathland was at one time a very popular destination on the NYMR because of "Heartbeat" but memories of that are now fading,...
Trouble is, a lot of that capacity has been replaced by natural gas, which is still a carbon-based fuel. There's no joined up thinking in this...
It's very broad generalisation I know, but my experience suggests that there are two types of preservationist: those who want to knuckle down and...
