They seem to be now, although many years ago there were murmurings about them considering a move to Swanage. Not sure what the situation with 828...
Probably better not to spread rumours which may or may not be true. However the general gist of the rumours is apparent from reading the recent...
Indeed, and is it a huge coincidence that these issues have arisen in the few days that the loco has been away from the MHR? Or was this...
Not necessarily, it depends what the agreement between the WSR and SDRT stated. Did it say all steaming fees from the MHR would go towards the...
Is that not more to do with the fact that it’s right at the end of the runway of Southampton airport?
Anyone know which loco is planned to be in service over the next couple of weeks? Planning a potential visit.

Just been having a good chuckle at some of the objections. ‘Constant tooting like trains do’. Haha, seriously? Some reasonable and well argued...
So called because a birds nest was discovered in it during renovations for use at Swanage. Never the most appealing name for an eatery I’ve...
The Devon Belle car has returned to Swanage from storage in Margate to be put back into service. 4365 has gone in the other direction and been put...
You’ve obviously never visited the Bankside Miniature railway in Hampshire…. But yes sadly people seem to have heard the word ‘turntable’ and...
Some updates on the website now, and photos of the wooden bracing being fitted in readiness for transport to Hampshire.
Indeed. The one exception I’d make to that are those people that buy a property with full knowledge of the situation, and then complain about it...
Indeed some good examples there of how it could potentially have been worse. A very hypothetical discussion though. It’s lucky we are where we...
You’ve answered your own question. The formation of the L&B is what connects them. The route of the L&B would potentially have been better...
