Alexbrown123 liked Groks212's post in the thread 21st Century Steam Ltd Tours 2023 (Tornado Rail Tours).
Sadly my confidence in the first one not being postponed/rescheduled drops every day as there are only 17 days to go. Tornado has yet to be in steam never mind turn a wheel in running in. Its then got to be put on a low loader again to get to a...

Yes, the correct answer should always be to ban people asking awkward questions. Occassionally, if you want to have nice things, you have to put in the work to resolve the problems, however.

Meatman liked 21B's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
That gets discussed too. Though it must be said that for a railway that set itself the goal of extending and hasn’t, achievement of late has been thin. There are plenty of other places which will provide you with the sugar coated glossy picture...

It was hoped by one individual. That was never really realistic. There is still a lot of work being done. The Railcar had to leave the shed for a while due to us needing the space for more urgent works to be done, but it has now gone back into...

5944 liked JBTEvans's post in the thread NYMR GALA SEPT.
