I've enjoyed this thread enormously, and agree with those who think all we can do really is to invoke the 'feel' of the steam railway. It also...
I remember one got as far as Sheffield Midland, but can't say if it was normal service or a special. Dave
I think some LNWR 4-4-0s had them. Dave
Just a bit of lighthearted speculation really, as with the Ambergate north curve. Of course it would have to head south from Wirksworth tender...
Might as well do the Ambergate - Butterley line at the same time - even more options! :) Dave
Seeing the rather gorgeous Braunton on the turntable at Rowsley on Saturday set my poor old grey cells going - if City of Wells did go mainline,...

I saw in one of the magazines that NR had called them to a meeting, I think in December, after the Tangmere incident. Dave
We have used www.seascrew.com for stainless steel slotted, seem very good with large range. Cheers Dave LMSCA
Noticed some chaps suspended on ropes working on Dove Holes cutting last week, this is what it's about http://www.weldgrip.com/doveholes.php -...
The financials for The Jubilee Locomotive Co. Ltd. have looked poor in recent years (Chris Beet, director) but hopefully there are other funding...
I wonder how much of 92219 was used in 92214's restoration when Phil Brown owned both of them? Dave
