    An emergency timetable for today has been posted on the 'Cotswold Festival of Steam' Facebook page (but can't find it on the official GWSR page or website. Hopefully it's legit.) https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Dh83grdhU/ ****EMERGENCY...

    [MEDIA] One my favourite videos, taken from Udiam farmhouse, next to the current end of the line. The relaid track went right through the bottom of the garden :-)

    As Ivy in Last of the Summer Wine used to say, firmly, ' This is a catering establishment ' !

    Happy days, Tom! I recall a PMV kitted out as a catering facility, with friendly ladies inside :)

    I've dug out a couple of pictures of the Bodiam relay. That was November 1998, it may be slightly different this time. [ATTACH] This is the '7' jig that was used, so you dropped down the 4, then reverse a bit, and then drop the other 3....

    Yes, a spacing jig was used, and iirc it wasn't a 4 but a 7. That was genius! The extra 3 fitted precisely between the 4, so the jig was lowered a second time. The rail lengths were laid out L and R, and a reversing 360 laid out the sleepers and...

  12. Breva liked Tobbes's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    Look, there are lots of sections that are complicated for different reasons. I don't see how it helps to say 'this bit looks complicated' on the internet - I suspect that Mike and Co already know that! If you want to help, the practical routes...

    Please remember what @Tobbes said above: ''speculation of which bits of land Mike Buse and co are targeting doesn't strike me as very helpful.'' I wholeheartedly endorse that.
