Its a bit more complex than that... I'm not at all sure I fully understand this, money not being my speciality, but there seems to be a lot of confusion about the word renewal. These days the meaning shades towards "repair something so its as...

Jeff, methinks a tad pedantic regarding the status of 6695? The engine is part of the HoME's strategic plan with an agreement in place so surely now part of the fleet? ;)

Very true Steve. Unfortunately owners have to accept that railways, generally, can't afford to pay the amount of fees actually required for the owner to undertake the next overhaul so, yes, I think we do actually subsidise the hiring railway....

Yorkshireman liked 30854's post in the thread West Somerset Railway Operations.
This is the one and only time I will mention this needlessly devisive episode which, IMO, was allowed to fester for far too long and detracted from the good work being done in Somerset to the point of nearly turning a first class line into a...

LesterBrown liked jnc's post in the thread Proposed New-Builds.
Why they didn't pick 'Lord of the Isles' is utterly beyond me; that's also one of his titles, so the link to him would be there; and you can't get much more Scottish than that one! Noel PS: Ooops. That's what I get for not reading forward in...

[ATTACH] Mind you..... There are a few Robinson designs I'm quite partial to as well. Wonder if a "Sir Sam Fay" could be made to work as well as they looked? My guess, unfortunately.... no more than a "Claughton" or "Cardean"

You are NOT the target audience. You do not form a majority of the visiting public. If you visited the NRM once a year, and no one else did, because it was tailored to you, it would close. It is as simple as that. It is not as if the NRM does...

John, I am afraid that I find that a very blinkered approach to the financing of railway heritage across the board. I can only recommend that you look at Andy Norman's very down-to-earth post (6128) this evening in the West Somerset Railway...

And without making museums accessible, the footfall will rapidly diminish. I don't like it either - I hated the interactive characters acting in period at MOMI when it was on the South Bank back in the 90s, and I really don't like what has been...
