The only indication as to what the LMS would have done is to look at the Leek & Manifold. The GWR may have kept it going, in the same way as the...
Believe me, when the railways are ready to reopen - we'll all be singing it from the rooftops :)
1213's boiler ticket expires at month end, so it will be out for the rest of the year. The 2020 services will be run by 7 and 8, with the Garratt...
I'd consider building a large indoor soft play complex, but it would be in Aberystwyth. There is one in the surrounding area, but it needs a...
2 adults 1 child on VOR can be done for £55 if you use a family ticket, it feels a lot of money, but then what people throw at professional sports...

There are less than half a dozen VOR volunteers and they are involved with trackside only. Any takers, gratefully received...
To be honest, it's a bit more involved than that. Third party engineering costs money and transport to and from.
Looking through history, it seems anyone who touches the line gets caught under its spell. Oliver Veltom, Lewis Hamer etc...
You've got to bear in mind that the land below the railway was owned by a 3rd party and it wasn't until they negotiated to cutting 12 'windows'...
Thanks for this, it's really interesting. The funny thing is Green contradicts himself about 1212, as in the loco bio he cites it languishing in...
James Szlumper, employed his half brother, William, to design both the L&B and the D&M locos. Green quotes the L&B's as underpowered and in need...
That's an interesting thought about Rhiwfron, but with no road access, the only way freight got to it was via an aerial ropeway from the valley...
Maybe Peter Johnson could shed some light on it when his book comes out?
Anything up to and over 10500 ib tractive effort would be able to back-up. Garrats are way over that. Without knowing the cost for restoration,...
[ATTACH] Have you seen this? Bangladesh Railway museum. 2' 6'' gauge also, close to a twin in many respects. I have the feeling the railway has a...
That tin got decidedly bigger... :D
Do you think they would get around Veltom's curve and through Quarry cutting? Asking, not suggesting otherwise
