Drewry Car liked Meatman's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
If you look at the field to the right of the junction of Parracombe lane and the A39, in its bottom right hand corner is a clump of trees, at the moment as far as im aware that is the triangle of land where the station site is to be situated

Shep Woolley liked TheModster's post in the thread Steam Dreams 2024.
A great sight to see the Brit back on its home turf, even if it faced problems the instant it landed on its home metals! Captured at Feltham, Manor Park where I, unintentionally, managed to capture the offending item that had landed on the cab...

Paul42 liked nick813's post in the thread SVR Loco Newsy News / discussions.
I understand that 813's tank is being removed , possibly by now removed. A new saddle tank will be fabricated in North Wales. Costs between £15 to £20K . We hope with the removal of some tubes and inspection, the boiler can be given a new 10...

Romsey replied to the thread Doors and Droplights.
At Balham work to replace the signal post in question was already being planned at the time of the accident. That may have influenced the findings. Also the 5WES units with one public access opening droplight were regarded Southern/GatEx as a...

Wenlock liked twr12's post in the thread Doors and Droplights.
It was an easy cop out for ORR to prosecute and fine the operator, Southern/GTR after the death at Balham. The £1M fine paid by Southern/GTR wasn’t real money. It went from HMG DfT to GTR, then to ORR and back to DfT. A few thousands in lawyers...
