If the whole of railway preservation was like Paul, nothing would ever have been built.
Out of interest Paul, what do you think 'heritage' means?
As it happened I had a trip behind 35006 this morning. It is ludicrously overpowered for the line and the regulator basically wasn't opened there...
Would anyone care to venture a list of railways which are so lacking in their own motive power that an out of use 3MT tank might be of use? This...
That is interesting Paul, because some of the engines 'resting up' at Didcot, Highley, Sheffield Park and others are 8Fs, WDs, 9Fs, Castles and...
I sometimes wonder if PH would have found Option A of the Serpell Report very appealing.
But I'm not sure anyone has been arguing 'too small'. As has been said a number of times, the right engine will depend on huge numbers of factors....
I completely agree. But as someone who visits around 20 heritage railways a year, I see very few examples of motive power overpowered for the...
So which railways do you think are guilty of this? SVR? Bluebell? GCR? GWSR? DSR? WSR? You really do need to talk in more than abstract terms on...
Not being very lateral there Paul. You mentioned earlier that there are few railways over 10 miles long which is true. But the number is...
I'm not deriding what they have done at all - they have achieved far more in preservation than I could ever hope to do. My point is that I am...
Crich is an excellent museum offering a bit of 'olde worlde' charm, a high quality of exhibits kept under cover, and an opportunity to take an...
Class 68s on the Chiltern line, Class 37s on the Cumbrian Coast. Think that's probably it. Other mainline loco services are I think top-and-tailed.
This might just be me but, ignoring the 'renaming' as Bodmin, I rather like the black paint and TOPS numbering. Had steam survived for a few more...
So why not get on and do that? I know what was said earlier but this is hardly a situation that has just emerged - from what I can see this has...
The question in my mind therefore is, if this is true, what are the owners planning to do about it? Steam engines are never going to make their...
I see your point of style over comfort, but that is always going to be a personal conclusion and will depend on length of journey. Four and six...
Their website reports the extension will be opening at the end of July. I'm visiting this weekend for the first time so a little early to see it...
Who knows, maybe Clun Castle might even get a run out...
I was told by a guard that it's so that they know and can speak with all of those getting into the historic carriages, and make sure that they are...
