    Kidderminster TMD was an incredible investment by the SVR and associated diesel groups and has paid dividends in recent years by providing the SVR with a top notch diesel fleet in enviable condition. But it is also an admission that without those...

    But locomotive shortages must be on horizon as either of those two seemingly won't steam anytime soon and 41241 and 78022 will both be out roughly same time in 28 ?

    But dismissing the membership out of hand isn't going to help either. Ignoring 50% of your annual donations is incredibly foolish. It sounds like you expect other bodies to give to money and grants whenever you ask for it, and you need that free...
