Here is a picture of the last connecting piece of rail being dropped in. [ATTACH] This is also the site of the future passing loop. We took pictures of the team, I'm not sure if I may post this, so check out the RVR blog, who had a...

Oh I don't know. Here in Northern Italy it's the same. Heavy rain has been causing havoc as well. Not had any rain here in the pre-Apennines yet and the grape harvest is almost done. After a heavy day of track laying a shower would be most...

At lunch time the weather brightened, and we did quite well. [ATTACH] We began the week two fields away, and have now laid 16 panels in total. It looks like the week's target is actually 21 or 22 panels, so pressure will be on during the last day.

Heavy rain throughout this morning :( Also, only 4 of us on site, to try and achieve the daily average of 4 panels. We managed 3 1/2 panels at the end of the day. Still, we're that much nearer to joining up with the through road of the passing loop.

Biermeister liked Wagoniester's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
Given how much it has cost to do restorations of locos such as 4110 and 4150 recently completed, I envisage a restoration of 80100 getting little-to-no change from £1million at the very least. In some ways, it does tell a story by showing how...

Biermeister liked John Petley's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
The bottom line is that the K&ESR is in an unusual position for a project which bought its first locos direct from BR. The Terriers are great and (as with the Bluebell and the IoWSR) still - and will - have their place on the railway, although...

green five liked Sheff's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
The more I read about the doom and gloom surrounding the NYMR, and by extension the future of some other heritage operations, the more I find it difficult to countenance in the light of the regular positive financial reports in the house magazine...
