Steve replied to the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
We (or at least, I) don't know what is included in the quoted £250K. It may well include the hire of the scaffolding and propping until it is no longer required and not just the installation. If I was costing up the works, I'd have certainly...

I dare to say in the examples given people are visiting in spite of there being a pacer rather than for it. I don’t think a railway could be successfully commercial operating just pacers. On the less busy days a diesel and loco hauled stock at...

They don't need the full coupler if they're only being used to clear the line. The 57s had them to be able to haul the 390s between Crewe and Holyhead in passenger service. The emergency adapter is fine to be able to move a train at slow speed to...

Are they carriages that were in the Green Train/Steam Dreams Sets years ago? I remember some passengers complaining about the lack of legroom and being charged First Class fares in the 8 rowers. Think we had them on one of the Coronations.

Dan Hill liked Jonnie's post in the thread Spa Valley Railway - Latest News.
The last time I drove a train over Broom Lane Bridge at 25mph was in 2017 when the speed restriction came into force. It was certainly a real privilege to be the first to drive 31430 over our brand new bridge at 25mph this evening! Chris...

Yes, one of the posts said they are in a table for 4 and table for 2 config, but apparently according to another with not as much room as a normal first. Not having travelled on a WCRC one of these cannot comment personally.
