Well, it depends how dire the situation is. If the TR was unable to survive in its present form it might make sense. It doesn't strike me as a...
Exactly. I'm sure the FR watch the costs of what they are doing, and why not have some double heading when you can justify it for whatever reason?...
I realise that's a fantasy. But actually that's the only reason you'd really want to get NGG16's up there. They aren't needed otherwise, and I can...
Some valid points, and I certainly hope no more Mk1 's already in pres. will be scrapped, some types are rare already especially the...
I think this is really foresighted. Those railways that have taken the trouble to save, restore and look after older coaches will I think have a...
Not as far as I know. It does rather beg the question why not, though. I certainly would, if I wanted a working loco for a tourist line. After...
'Nice' in the sense you like the look of it? I suspect its not a 'nice' restoration project, looks well worn and battered, albeit with a coat of...
I think the important point is that it belongs to Pete Waterman, not the RHe, so what he does with it is very much his decision.
Well 133 and 134 were both supposed to be in better condition than Garratt 87, which has been back in service a couple of years now. So they are...
Was just trying to work out where you split your hairs :-) Of course you can split them wherever you want to, we all do! (That is, if we have any...
As usual, the red-tops are focusing on the wrong issues. One steam loco more or less does not the preservation movement make. The real issue is...
So do you count the 'new' ones at Statfold that have never worked in a slate quarry in their lives? Just wonderin'.
I have to say the highlight for me was Lilla and Britomart climbing from Beddgelert to Rhyd Ddu on the Friday, also the photo opportunities at...
To be honest, I suppose the earlier comment (forget from whom) that the passenger numbers are up again this year despite the lack of any new...
Was thinking about shorter trains on the RHe and it may not be so easy. The current two rakes amount to 18 coaches so mathematically it could be...
You are probably better off not knowing the history in detail . I think we just have to respect that there have been major disagreements in...
Quote: The run to Port though I was a bit underwhelmed by. Possibly I was expecting too much. Yes the run through Aberglaslyn is nice but appeared...
Semi-open in the BR sense, that is, they have compartments but with only waist high partitions. Not open to the weather.
re 'heritage' carriages. On the WHR there is always one of 23 or 24 on the trains, assuming they are in working order. One is a replica, of...
I have quite a lot of photos of it working trains on its own. It is in any case a volunteer project. I would imagine it is rougher on the track...
