  3. 3ABescot нравится сообщение Miff в теме Accounting for Steam Locomotives (ex Flying Scotsman thread).

    It's a dodge to get around registration regulations - for some reason it's easier to register a replica aircraft if it can claim an 'existing' identity off the back of a data plate rather than register as a 'new' one. For the sake of the...

    You have made the assumption there that the steam railtour market is enthusiast driven, which these days is far from correct. Yes a few enthusiast based tours have a small market share, but most Saphos, SD and VT tours also run with a diesel. So...

    There’s another thread, dating back years, where that discussion has gone round in more circles than the wheels of a 9F at 90mph

    No issue probably. I'd guess it's keeping the goodwill of the business, which isn't bad thing. Steam Dreams having been for many years a distinctive and respected Southern based operation, with Watercress Line connections and green carriages.

    The part of that day that I remember was going across from York to Carnforth with the loco and support coach. We passed through Leeds at about 6am and found ourselves running alongside a Pacer on the next road. The driver was clearly enjoying...
