Nick C liked Duty Druid's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.

76079 did go up to the WHL in 2008, renumbered as Fort William’s 76001 it took part in the photo charters. It wasn’t a lot of use on the Jacobite as it was restricted to hauling six coaches on the Mallaig Road [ATTACH]

I go out for a bit and all hell breaks loose! Thanks Tom. :) After a minutes thought, whilst it is a reasonable idea, I don't think that it is practical. If the venture is to satisfy the demand it is going to require two train sets c/w locos....

Sheff liked Jamessquared's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
So indulge an off-the-wall thought. I was thinking about the NYMR, and in particular the Whitby situation, which in many ways seems to be a 6 mile tail wagging an 18 mile dog. It struck me that from a passenger perspective, the Whitby operation...

ilvaporista liked Breva's post in the thread Barnstaple and Yeo Valley Railway Trust - B&YVRT.
As you may know, the shareholders of Exmoor Associates, the little company that is buying back the trackbed pieces of the Lynton & Barnstaple railway below Wistlandpound reservoir, recently voted to transfer the company's assets to the Barnstaple...
