The Dainton Banker liked LMS2968's post in the thread SVR General Discussion.
Harry, it's time you stopped such trivialities as preparing for a gala, testing and repairing visiting engines, maintaining and repairing the home fleet so a service can be run and got down to the really serious issue of satisfying the idle...

The Dainton Banker liked acorb's post in the thread SVR General Discussion.
Given the very public place the incident took place, avoiding speculation seems an extremely unlikely and futile expectation. Early realisation of this and an attempt to control narrative by releasing the facts (however brief), would seem to be...

LMS2968 liked Jamessquared's post in the thread SVR General Discussion.
I think it is quite reasonable that a railway places limits on staff (paid or volunteer) sharing photos where those photos are taken from an area of privilege, i.e. from a viewpoint not open to the public. As an example not related to this...

Biermeister liked mikehartuk's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.
'Green Signals' has just released this wonderful video produced by Richard Bowker and Nigel Harris featuring the Rother Valley Railway project. Enjoy! [MEDIA]

Dumb buffer liked Johnb's post in the thread SVR General Discussion.
I would urge anyone to simply ignore any comment on social media that doesn’t come from an official SVR source. Don’t fuel uninformed speculation.

ilvaporista liked kestreleyes's post in the thread Peak Rail General Discussion.
Been a while since I last updated but things nice n steadily progressing, the new trackwork into the top of the car park for the new unloading / loading area and the bay platform is in, still wants some ballasting and the bay platform building....

[MEDIA] Well it still moves and isn't twisted beyond all recognition. It's the detailed examination that will show the true picture of the damage.

Spinner liked LMS2968's post in the thread GWR four-cylinder arrangement?.
I'd like to see the evidence! Even with balancing, which would not eliminate all the out of balance stresses anyway (you can't balance to 100% of the reciprocating masses), and which becomes ever more problematic as speed rises, you still have...

The Dainton Banker liked The Green Howards's post in the thread Fire Risk.
A story in the Daily Mail (yes, I know) mentioned the nationwide steam ban and the "Harry Potter" train. Now, if ever you needed proof that some of the BTL commenters are a bit, well... we get: [ATTACH] Some railway enthusiasts have replied...

The Dainton Banker liked 35B's post in the thread Fire Risk.
I don't underestimate it, but the contrast between the road and rail structures was stark. And as the High Level is a) a key local transport artery and b) Grade 1 listed, the short sightedness of doing nothing stuck out

The Dainton Banker liked The Green Howards's post in the thread NER Class G5 No. 1759.
My apologies if this is duplicating an existing thread, but the forum search facility decreed "G5" to be too short a search term. Anyway, Tom Ingall has done one of his videos on this locomotive's progress: [MEDIA]
