    Indeed. But unlike most businesses, the ‘stakeholders’ have no say in how this one is run, who appoints the board members etc. I’m no expert in company law, but in this case, (and in several other cases in our ‘industry’) it seems all too easy...

    I was at Horsted Keynes today for what, at times, seemed like a Gala day! 32636 (Fenchurch) with 31065, until the A1X took a break, leaving 31065 heading the 14.15 Sheffield Park alone; 73082 on a normal serivce train; then on what looked like...

    Doubt that would be legal for a charity…?

    As @Lineisclear will undoubtedly tell you, the managers of the Trust must manage the Trust for its best interests and not the interests of the covenentors or members.

    I found your album very interesting, especially as I've not yet visited Steam. What struck me what how well Steam have interpreted their exhibits, using life-like dummies and other artefacts to bring exhibits to life and give them context. The...

    Will you be willing to take up the challenge and help put such a structure in place? Or will you just sit on the sidelines to stir things up when those picking up the pieces don’t get it quite right?

  11. Sir Ralph Wedgwood replied to the thread Tornado.

    There were indeed some problems in the early days of the building of Tornado but they were put right in a very transparent and open way. The then board commissioned an independent report into what had gone wrong and if I remember correctly made...

  12. hyboy liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Spa Valley Railway - Latest News.

    Even were that to come to pass (which I doubt, and which I don't think is a good idea) it doesn't solve the volunteer numbers problem - you can't be in two places at once. So every day you give to Railway A is one less available for Railway B. I...

  13. Sir Ralph Wedgwood replied to the thread Tornado.

    It worked well for many years until the current regime took over, now running the trust in its own interest not in the interests of its covenantors. When - and I do think it’s just a matter of time considering the disastrous trajectory of the...
