Spitfire liked 35B's post in the thread West Somerset Railway General Discussion.
That’s true, but the existence of sanctions may form part of the education process. And this is one area where I believe that to be very true.

Mick45305 liked James McLeish's post in the thread Doncaster Works open day June 2026.
Some footage covering the event and the various locomotives on display. Was a great day overall, and was certainly a nice surprise to have Caroline offering rides throughout the day. [MEDIA]

This getting getting tedious. No organisation is required to publish its membership figures, whether they're going up or down. Not what you've decided not to renew your membership, does that mean that you'll also reduce your constant criticism...

The Dainton Banker liked Mark Thompson's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
Time can be, and is, a great changer. And with the L&BRly we're talking in increments of a century. What I'm trying to say is that just because something is how it is now, it will not remain so indefinitely. But sometimes, one does need infinite...

Indeed :-( Do people never actually (a) read what has already been written on the subject so many times and (b) go and look at the area and appreciate the impractical nature of their suggestions (however well-meant they may be) ???

Steve liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
I was on Camelot today, and it was fairly hot, though not unbearable - though next week will be worse. An interesting point about open-cabbed locos, particularly 65, but I suspect the same applies to 2999 (I haven't been on it). When it is very...
