    Well while much of the UK sweltered on the hottest day of the current heatwave here is Thursday afternoons Jacobite standing in a very wet Arisaig - no steam ban here:). At 21-22 degrees it was about 15 degrees lower than some of the hottest...

    I do get your point, but I think the reason they came about in the first place was to basically stop Woody Bay becoming a 2ft gauge Barry scrap yard of narrow-gauge ex-industrial diesel locomotives, of which there were a number looking for new...

  6. MikeParkin65 liked ghost's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
