    Steam preserved but what about the Electric Traction

    Although steam was my main interest, and I had very little interest in electric traction as a youngster (there wasn't any in West Yorkshire), I...

    Is there such a thing as too many heritage railways?

    All good points, and I think the availability of lots of MkIs in the early preservation era is the clincher. It's not impossible to run a...

    Quite so. Preservation is full of compromises.

    Is there such a thing as too many heritage railways?

    Back in the 1970s I remember members of the public being very disappointed with the KWVR's MkIs. They thought they were no different from British...

    Good point. And it takes us back to the question of what the general public expects. Although a seasoned enthusiast might acknowledge that first...

    Is there such a thing as too many heritage railways?

    Yes, some railways do a proper job of restoring their MkIs. The West Somerset had some good examples last time I visited. A lot of railways don't...

    The Beamish Cog Railway

    I've been visiting Beamish almost since it opened, and this is the first I've heard of the cog railway. I'll have to take a look. My...

    84001 - next to be de-accessioned?

    I agree that the operation of 60103 is not doing anyone any harm, and will even have spin-off benefits for the NRM as a whole. The premise of the...

    Is there such a thing as too many heritage railways?

    I think most customers would expect baby changing facilities, disabled loos, etc., at the main stations. But it's also a "treat" to find vintage...
