Hi all, Thank you for your good wishes, I really appreciate your comments and kind thoughts. This will probably be my last post on here for a...
Will have to speak to the guys - I'm sure at least a couple of us would be up for it at some point. It's about time we caught up with Chris, the...
It wasn't us, but we know it was a major loss and we will forever rue the day it went! I may be wrong, but I think it might have been privately...
Yes we do now, the first van we did (B759852) was done in canvas back in 2012, but more recently we have had to cut our costs considerably. We use...
Thank you for the kind comments, it's always good to hear our work is of interest to others. Sadly the cattle van was sold and left the railway...
PM now sent.
Hi Stu, will send a PM as soon as I get a chance - I don't think the questions within will be of much interest to anybody else - sorry to be a bit...
Fascinating, thank you. It was the Ivatt Atlantic I loved but have never seen working. "Lord Braybrooke" has (to me) always appeared as your...
I can't believe it's almost been a year since I posted on this thread - very remiss of me! Much progress has been made since the last update, so I...
You had me starting to wonder if I'd imagined that coach or confused it with something else... (it is a very early childhood memory). I recall it...
Thanks for the replies! That's a shame, interesting coach that - although not very practical iirc it had no doors, sections of the roof lifted...
Sounds good - must pop down at some point and reacquaint myself with the place and see what's changed! Is the US-style clerestory coach still...
This thread brings back some nostalgia! I assume you're talking about Terry H...? He used to take me up there when I was a kid to help out/make a...
A fair point, but haven't things moved on in preservation since the days of acquiring scrap locos for strategic spares? Made sense at the time...
Agreed, and (dare I say this?) "it would have been nice" to have Wansford station's 'twin' also as part of the preserved line. Echoing some of...
Fair enough, I had a vague recollection Wansford tunnel had something special about it but I am obviously mistaken! :-)
Wansford tunnel is 617 yds, but unventilated. Do all the longer ones have ventilation shafts?
I have heard they had a look at some attractive Swedish stock in the early days but then went for the DSB's (Danish) instead...
Beyond Yarwell I understand the trackbed is unusually clear, for both lines after the junction. The problem is the removal of quite large river...
I know this is probably not ideal, but has any consideration been given to sourcing some genuine/replica canopy supports with LNWR spandrels?...
