The Dainton Banker liked 35B's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I’m not sure that railway preservation needs to repeat the managed decline of the post-Beeching era. Without losing sight of the brass tacks, I suggest a little more of the John Prideaux and Chris Green mentality, and a little less of BR HQ...

Bulleid Pacific liked MellishR's post in the thread Saphos Trains 2026.
I think for some reason my posting was delayed, so I presume they changed it between when I looked and when I posted.

The NYMR has indeed had a good track record of attracti8ng big grants - like YMJ - but it should be noted that the majority of the work in applying for those came fro9m volunteers. The don't think the professional managers have had a similar...

45690 and 44767 both under overhaul. I think Leander is likely to be back in 2028.

Forgot to post this during the week, but during the Mid Hants Gala last weekend, the tender now destined for 34070 was on display in the yard at Ropley, all painted and ready to go. [ATTACH]

alastair liked LittleRedTrain's post in the thread RTC 2026.
It would certainly be helpful if RTC/West Coast can make it clear which future tours this set will be used on. After a few years of only spending my railtour budget with Vintage and Saphos, I'd be more than happy to do a few RTC trips if I can be...

Wagoniester attached a file to the thread Nene Valley Railway.
