Breva liked H Cloutt's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.
A couple of blog posts today showing progress with the installation of the North Bridge Street level crossing with pictures. Evidently the work is ahead of schedule.

Breva liked Mark Thompson's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
I'm sorry to say this Colin, but I find a lot of this to be absolutely mind- numbing, and I do find myself automatically zoning out of it. I'm sure I'm not alone. I'd guess that 99% of us on here don't wish to see the L&B as some kind of...

Breva liked TonyW's post in the thread The Douglas Bay Horse Tramway.
Years ago, the tracks at the ferry terminal extended further than they did in recent years, from Loch Promenade in to what is now a car park. This extension was, IIRC, only used to terminate the working and run-round the horse, i.e. always empty...

Breva liked 35B's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
There are a number of misconceptions here: 1. That steaming fees cover overhaul costs - it is very clear that they do not, and never have; mainline or preserved. 2. That voluntary donations are inappropriate to cover overhauls - they are...

I have bought shares in several projects, they are just papers in a drawer. There is no market for them, I consider them just donations. Lyn is up and running, so sending the money to the project worked, and the result is there for all to see....

Breva liked pmh_74's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
Does the '762 club' have members/shareholders or are they merely donors? It seems to me that the project's aims are clear, so the only question is whether they're delivering it, or not. Up-thread was a link to a progress video. I watched it, and...

Were you thinking of rerouting the Heddon? It'd have to flow uphill...

Breva replied to the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
When I volunteered with a Dutch club we took over a DB class 42 oil burner. It came from a power station that bought it straight out of service as a standby boiler. When we eventually got it there was evidence of mattress forming in the firebox....

Breva liked ghost's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
What exactly is the point you are making Colin? Those links go to Companies House and the Charity Commission - are you asking us to read everything on those sites to try to work out what you think the problem is?
