If this is the case then this really is all about one man's ego rather than any economic argument. Why would you not run the service if you have now made the investment to run in a profitable and compliant fashion?? Surely you want to make that...

It really is quite simple. If you want to remain part of the club, you have to abide by the rules of the club (which all of the other club members have done). If you don't, you are no longer a member of the club. I find all this moaning about...

Bluenosejohn liked 26D_M's post in the thread Jacobite 2026.
It seems doubtful ORR would be influenced one way or the other by such a threat. The only thing the regulator will be interested is in those coaches purportedly fitted now being R5 compliant. If WC has proved they have an effective method ORR...

...... and the photo below was posted on the Supporters' Facebook page of IMR No.4 at Castletown station with the first train of the season (09.50 ex Douglas). No.13, in the background, was departing on the first northbound train (10.00 ex Port...

Miff liked nige757's post in the thread 89001 restoration.
89001 on the second loaded test run both ways through the Lune Gorge, arriving twenty four minutes early at Tebay, apologies as I had a few focus issues on the return leg. [MEDIA]

Wonder how many other sheds have a 100 year old boiler forgotten in a corner somewhere...

GWR4707 is correct in that 9629's boiler was obtained as a spare for 3650 when 9629 was cosmetically restored and plinthed outside the Cardiff Holiday Inn. The Dean Goods boiler was originally bought by the KWVR (no idea where from tho') as a...

silversteellady liked Chris86's post in the thread K&WVR Steam Gala 19-22 March 2026.
Good day at the KWVR today despite some late running. Much busier than I had expected, was a struggle to find seats on the Nunney Castle/Braunton double header. Best run of the day was our final run with 45407 and 78022, some lively...

silversteellady liked Andy2857's post in the thread K&WVR Steam Gala 19-22 March 2026.
It wouldn't be a KWVR gala without a bit of late running! We avoided the Nunney/Braunton double header but based on my view of it as we slid past at Damems it looked to be the most heavily loaded train of the day by a comfortable margin. We found...

Fred Kerr liked Oswald T Wistle's post in the thread Saphos: Blue Peter to Carlisle - 12/02/26; Sir Nigel Gresley - 11/03/26; Britannia - 8/04/26.
Some horsepower calculations, using the RPS spreadsheet, NR measured gradients, my GPS data (northbound) and Graham’s posted log (southbound). All the usual caveats about inherent uncertainties with values given to the nearest 25 and an estimated...
