Important subject and the future is uncertain. Most charities and voluntary bodies are finding it harder to recruit and keep enough of the right...
Thanks Tom for your well considered reply. Certainly at Imberhorne there is a strong disincentive to ever re-excavating the Bluebell’s cutting to...
I agree, a solution like that is far from ideal, especially given the extra expense. However: It might be worth considering if it was the only...
Well, if the locals are objecting to raised-up trains at the CFL site, is there any possibility of achieving the desired 1 in 500 station gradient...
Yes, I’m in sympathy with all that - but only up to a point. Risk assessment is an important process, but needs to be done carefully, logically...
Interesting comments. I too would not visit on days the Bluebell is operating diesel traction. Yes, not all is lost as there is plenty of steam...
I disagree that any of the discussion has been getting tedious. This has been a fascinating debate, but one slightly reminiscent of all those...
Excellent video. And very well done to the Bluebell teams who have brought this long, complex locomotive building project to completion and kept...
Good video, thanks for posting. Train looks impressive but what a pity the folk on it were trapped in those closed air-con fitted carriages.
Yes. I think most readers would be amazed about how little human resource goes into special interest magazine publishing. I know someone who was...
Agreed not a total deal-breaker, RTC has been an OK operator. But really, it would not require very much time for somebody to proof-read their...
That sounds pretty much right. Also, the whole question of correct spelling used to be much less observed in the nineteenth century -...
I don’t claim enough knowledge to know the right answer to all this. But on point deserves comment; that being the claim; "I also wonder where...
That is a fair point … but only up to a point. A certain type of passenger - myself included - could be attracted by the view of the line ahead...
That event at KX was definitely a high point. Especially as the stock was able to be moved there by rail, even if towed by diesel. The modern...
No harm in raising a debate about this. But it’s quite clear that the first step is to identify a location and get enough money from those who...
Starting from a low base, probably in all Chapelon's earlier rebuilds, agreed. But that was a a time before the A4s and the like were designed....
Chapelon was surely unlucky in developing his ideas, designs and follow-up proposals in France, at a time when the turmoils of that country...
Yes. Not likely this would be an everywhere, every time thing. But one might hope for an occasional steam-enthusiasts fast service, on selected...
Good points. The specially authorised recent trip by The Bristolian did very well, with long-sustained running at 75 mph. The lack of frequent...
