    Llangollen Railway - Corwen extension.

    You're on the right lines (sorry for the pun) and if you work on 28 tonnes payload you wouldn't be far out.

    The Gwili Railway thread

    Just a thought. Surely a membrane robust enough to stop weeds coming through on a long-term basis would trap water as well; which might not be...

    Edmonson tickets a lost "cause" for ever?

    Extensions - a snare and a delusion?

    Another point to remember with vintage rolling stock is that by and large it tends to be non-corridor. All very well on a short trip but not so...

    Extensions - a snare and a delusion?

    For many smaller railways, the problem is one of availability of the relevant rolling stock on a regular basis. It goes without saying that...
