Very nice. I assume the "bullet-nose" styling was inspired by the early LSWR EMUs? I must admit I have often wondered whether the Raworth...
The original Fairbourne traverser was installed in 1958, due to limited space at the rear of the station for a headshunt. In the early '60s,...
Well what I really want to see is LSWR Drummond green, with salmon-and-brown coaches to match ;) But seriously - it's very exciting news and I...
Have just picked up on this conversation after a few days off the forum, so here are my thoughts: 1. It is so very heartening to hear so many...
IIRC Trixie was on the CfD Chanteraines, however she does not currently appear to be listed on their website. The "Little Giant" is most likely...
But presumably that will mean taking all the brass beading off the splashers? Seems rather a shame - it would be quite fiddly to get it off and...
I'm afraid I'm not so sure. It's a wonderful idea in theory, but the idea of trying to make it all work in practice is daunting, to say the least....
An interesting case; I accept your points that much of the GCR route ran through rural areas, and that its connectivity was not as good as the...
Different methods of propulsion, however, will not solve the problem of congestion. This has always been the great downside of road transport, and...
I think another factor is that many young people simply can't make the time commitment to pass out as a driver. We tend to be a little preoccupied...
Actually I'd probably wish for sufficient covered accommodation to store them all in! No good restoring them if they are going to be left outside...
Coach 2 is now at the National Railway Museum, and has been conserved in "as-found" condition. And that is exactly how she should stay! She is a...
It's depressing, but unfortunately it's a challenge that any publicly-owned 'heritage' attraction will always face. It is always going to be...
Getting more undercover accommodation for coaches is a huge priority. At the end of the day, if you can get a coach into a warm, dry building it...
I hate to say it, but I think that an awful lot of railway preservation is more about nostalgia than it is about trains! How else can one explain...
Actually, as someone who manages volunteers in my day job, I can say emphatically that the current model isn't working. The problem is that the...
I'm still not sure that it has! ;)
The trouble is, just how long can 35010 afford to wait? Given the average age profile of most steam restoration groups, will her current owners...
Top of my list would be Russell and Lyd...preferably at the same time! It would be a 2' gauge "battle of prairie tanks" :p (Of course, ideally...
They weren't that bad! (Says a man far too young to remember any of them! :p ) Seriously though, from what I've read I get the impression that...
