At first, perhaps; but I'd have thought that when nothing happens, it could/would result in increased frustration. Noel
A truly excellent blog! I thank you very much for putting all the work into it, and I highly recommend it to all! Noel
Sorry, I couldn't parse that - can you please expand your comment a bit? Thanks! Noel
Hey, better to find it now, when it can be dealt with without getting in the way of operations (and even, hopefully, without delaying the opening...
Now that's a whole different quantum level of 'impossible dream'. You could probably reinstate several dozen closed lines for what that would cost...
Yes, nice update - great shots of a large girder being moved by the 'human wave' approach. Yes, I'm glad they turned them on; I used to ask Bill...
I don't have the time to go dig up a link, but there was a report done some years back (as part of an application for funding which failed, IIRC)...
Well, heritage railways (with a very few exceptions) aren't purely business (i.e. an activity undertaken to make money), like, say, a fast-food...
It is, however, sadly unfortunate that some 'casualties' were suffered in the process. Noel

Exactly. Although I'm not too hopeful - many lines seem to see their magazines as income generators, and seem to feel that if they hand out the...
I think the real number to look at, when looking at this facet, is the volume/surface-area ratio. Heat loss per unit of water (which is probably...
Ah, right you are: I was remembering the summer of 1980, when two engines were cut up due to a lack of any other work for the men. Still, that...
Err, IIRC almost every engine that went to Barry came out again (although for some it took many years)? ISTR there were a handful chopped up, but...
I suspect it may have something to do with the fact that the appeal will create a new edifice, one with a long life-time. For some people, that...
Well, there is a reason that steam locos were dispensed with for use on the Big Railway... :-) Noel
One thing in that that I'm not too sure about: Work on bridges ... 4 (a small bridge at Peasebrook Farm) ... is substantially complete. I got...
Any chance you can put the slides/whatever up online for those who can't attend? [The online version can contain material you couldn't fit in the...
