silversteellady liked Gladiator 5076's post in the thread Dean Forest Railway steam gala 31/10 & 1/11.

No, the SVR was contracted to operate the service at a set rate by WMRE. There was no loss for the SVR, it simply had to operate the contractual service it said it would provide and got paid for.

buzby2 liked Miff's post in the thread Turntables.
Here's a good video of the Litchurch Lane works turntable. It does seem to be a modern structure - the pit doesn't have walls, but graded banks outside the perimeter rail. Surprising and delightful that such a thing has been built for...
