I think you are wrong in your pessimism but time will tell. Looking at the carriage survey website some coaches are listed as being owned by the...
Agreed. Serviceable Mk1s rarely come onto the market, especially in any quantity. They will be snapped up like hot cakes by other heritage lines...
Is that the Swanage to Wareham DMU services? Paths remaining booked in even though they are not currently used.
The LT standard stock arrived in 1967 and lasted until 1990. It was then replaced by the 1938 stock that 21B mentioned, which lasted 30 years on...
No it didn’t. Almost 50 years in London, and only 30 on the IOW. Although I’m not sure what point Daddsie71b was trying to make.
Operational I believe. Primarily the two restored Bulleids, restored Maunsell TO plus the second Maunsell TO when finished. Also the observation...
Paint it bright green and put a number 6 on the sides. Then it’s perfect for the Mid Hants!
Alresford? Surprised in some ways to see it there as it’s a bit small for Mid Hants use. However it’s out of ticket isn’t it, so presumably just...
Yes that was mentioned in the early days of the project. A semi open side was the only way to fit the shed on that site whilst still allowing a...
I believe London Underground still buy new bullhead rail quite regularly, which helps explain why it’s still available.
A lot of negativity here around the Dartmoor 205s! Whilst I agree there is no chance of either of them coming to the Bluebell, I would confidently...
Great to hear that attention is now returning to completing the carriage shed. I shall certainly be donating,
Indeed. Actually it’s an 09 which gives it a higher top speed of 25mph rather than the 15mph of an 08. So that does make it a bit useful for the...
That makes sense, seems the obvious answer.
I don’t seem to be able to find this news on their website. Where is it proposed to put the batteries? Perhaps in one car of the unit, and then...
Agreed very well cared for. Just seems a bit of an anomaly that the Bluebell own it, when it appears to be of little use to them.
MER and Snaefell are overhead wires anyway. The ORRs concerns mainly centre around third rail operations - more dangerous because it’s easy for...
Well the Bluebell already own a 4VEP! Whether that will ever return or be any use to the railway is another matter though.
I would imagine nothing can be done until it reaches the point that the WSR have actually broken the agreement, rather than just hinting they...
But why should the SDRT have to rise additional funds, when an agreement to overhaul the loco is already in place? Your suggestion might be...
