Jamessquared 回复主题: Rolling Stock For Sale.
Part of me would really like to see that carriage restored. But a bigger part thinks we should concentrate on the vernacular, not the special - hence being pleased to see work on 971 after many years, a carriage I remember from early visits to...

Jamessquared 支持 Mark Thompson 在 Rolling Stock For Sale 内发表的帖子.
Asbestos removal was done, to the best of my knowledge, several decades ago, when a start was made, working alongside the old platform 1 at HK, of replacing the 1930s sliding toplights with original pattern LB&SCR replacements. Unfortunately,...

It's been a while since that name has appeared on the forum. Does anyone know what stage that the other projects Mr Reeder was involved with got to (I seem to recall another carriage, and a fairly well stripped AB saddle tank?) Demonstrable...

You are assuming that DB are both willing and able to resource such moves and do so at a reasonable rate. Like in any commercial contract Northern Steam is likely to use the company that best meets their needs in terms of cost and flexability. Peter

In what way does doing any of those things help preserve more vintage carriages? Does it generate more money? More skills? More under-cover storage space? More workshop capacity? Or are you just trying to impose an additional level of bureaucracy...

Mark Thompson 支持 lynbarn 在 Rolling Stock For Sale 内发表的帖子.
Hi Mark, thinking about it overnight, yes, I do recall it was said at the time that it couldn't be used due to it having Asbestos inside it. Now I am sure there are many reasons why it is where it is in the restoration queue. Now I am not taking...

Alex Productions 回复主题: Flying Scotsman.
I only know of two of the DB steam crew. One is my cousin, second one I've only met once. I think your right they have downsized, I'm not familiar with how many they have on their books that do the steam stuff and admittedly the two I know don't...

Have DB not also downsized. I thought I read on another forum that a number of drivers had been offered the opportunity to transfer along with some work to GBRF. Not sure if that would have any impact on the steam driver pool, but this move being...

I'm sure that you will be relieved to hear that we are unlikely to be related Tom. My parents moved to near Haywards Heath when I was very young because it was an easy commute to Victoria, near where my father had his office. But I have no long...
