Well said. I got a Distinction, found out the other day. Which I am very pleased with. Maybe one day there'll be a copy in the SVR archives for...
Probably worth noting on here that the PS Kingswear Castle has been leased by the PDSR for next season, so you can have a water and rail steam fix...
Out of interest, what was Cleminsons's patent? From what I can gather, some form of unified movement in the bogies for corners?
Cracking reads jtx, always look forward to seeing one of your accounts of a trip in the SVRN. In fact, one was quoted in my dissertation (the...
jmolyneux - a point I was aware of. My main issue was that amongst IoM enthusiasts there seems, from my outside position, to be a lot of...
Nope, looks like a Hunslet shunter to me, as can be found at Didcot. Which is a diesel mechanical as the thread title suggests. 31s are diesel...
Seems a shame to be so prescriptive in your choice of MU. So many exciting projects not getting a look-in. Of the five finalists I have no idea...
They have recently overhauled their website so the old, excellent pages on the planned developments with tables showing whether projects were...
Might I suggest contacting the National Trust with regard to obtaining Oak. They are a significant landowner and have a large forestry department...

Well, I put forward what to me sounded like a workable solution to achieve these two requirements a few pages back. What do you think?
Just checked - Stanier was in London at the time of the 1906 scrappings at Swindon, so he's not the great wrecker :) Below the belt indeed Tom -...
As did the LMS. The Southern and LNER just cheated by keeping their antediluvian locos in service :D
tl;dr - which just about sums up the politics fest that is this thread.
Pretty average for a Salisbury loco change from what I've read.
I remember Met 1 on the Llangollen too, looked quite at home really! I agree, a small engine gala would be nice on the Valley, but in a sense the...
There's been so much publicity on this, the next thing I want to come out of it is a conclusive photo. Pretty fed up with it to be honest.
And will thereby become the second steam locomotive in that land. What an awful thought...a country with only one steam loco! Private restoration...
