That's where we might diverge in view. I'm not so sure it is as clear-cut as that, as a reading of the NYMR thread (especially a couple of years...
Oh, I don't disagree, I think some kind of wholesale structural reform on the WSR would bring many benefits - I just caution against throwing all...
True, though it’s worth noting that Gift Aid in effect leverages four times the value in altruistic donation from the public which might otherwise...
Although I support the principle of moving to some kind of charitable model, I think there are some somewhat heroic assumptions in that £400k...
I have t seen the notes. But at a guess it means the train will stop with the rear 6 in the platform - so the front 6 have gone through the...
The Goods Division posted this short video of teh Goods Train on Saturday behind the 9F...
Just to bring this back to the gala-proper, the 9F is already at the Bluebell and has been in use; yesterday the Ivatt tank was delivered. Tom
Ah probably, I got my Thames Turbos mixed up with my Chiltern Trains! Tom
As originally marshalled, there were two brake vehicles, so we knocked one out but still had a second in the consist. I don’t do carriage...
I suspect a fault in the carriage rather than previous guard having had too many shredded wheat for breakfast! I was on the 9F on Sunday. The...
I can answer (I think) one of those. AIUI the BGZ was owned by a late Bluebell and SRPS stalwart, Jock McKay. When he died, he left it to the SRPS...
I guess the important thing to realise is that “Head of Security” is presumably a function, not a role - in other words, you need to define who it...
The other tanker out in the open; both are confirmed to be running in the goods train tomorrow. AM812 is in a 1940s Air Ministry colour scheme,...

The latest issue of The Bluebell Times is now available (with Nick as the new editor, but I'll publicise here :)) Ambassadors from 14 countries...
I don't think it is as simple as that. For example, the worst riding loco I have ever been on is a GWR 56xx, which had a horrible fore-and-aft...
I absolutely agree with you about looking for additional opportunities if the loco is already there. When we have had "star" locos in the past,...
I think it was Britannia, but I might be wrong. It's worth doing some maths though. Let's say your loco owner wants to charge £2500 per day for...
Well, quite! Though being a southerner, I'd pronounce the "H" ;) It comes back to value. I'm in the somewhat fortunate position that I can afford...
Coming back to a mini-thread earlier this year about Mark 1 First Open 3068, as of a week ago it is now at the Bluebell. My understanding is that...
