    I'm involved in some "unsexy" roles at my railway as a volunteer, and I am not alone in that. So it is possible, though I wouldn't assume it is easy. Having clear job / role descriptions, and advertising them, is important as others have...

    Yes to the first question - it is the total coal consumption (tons bought in a year divided by miles run - I think it was about 2017 when I did the calculation but I might be wrong). So that inflates the coal consumption, you aren't necessarily...

    As a ball park figure I reckon on 1.5 tons for a round trip from Pickering to Whitby and back with a standard 7 coach train. My guessing stick makes that a round 70 lb/mile. I once recorded a well-known Bluebell driver on a firing trip between...

    Here’s my account from three days linesiding (Swearing at many brambles) during our Spring Gala this year if anyone is interested. A really enjoyable event and hopefully it turns a healthy profit. Was also my first video this year utilising my...

    Thanks Pat. the concrete blocks that the rail sits on were developed by London Underground some years ago for places where there is a fairly shallow pit in which sits the negative rail. They stopped using them a few years ago as they were found...

    It's an intriguing idea, and indeed the introduction of the Hastings diesel units overlapped slightly with the last steam hauled hop-pickers' specials. However, given that even a 6S motor car weighed 54 tons, I'd have thought the 12 ton axle...
