    I also think a few things need to be set out here. I don't believe anybody here has said it outright cannot happen. Like any proposal, the overall idea likely can be achieved. In fact, there is a scenario of mainline TOC operating a service...

    The owners of 828 (Caledonian 828 Trust) are quite happy with the relaxed lifestyle 828 has at Tunbridge Wells. It was never our intention to keep her on hire beyond October 2022, but alas, she has been with us for 4 years now, and whilst she is...

    Technically, only No. 46512 (assuming you're referring to the three engines currently in service) is in ownership of the railway. Even then, @Foxontour would be better to ask if it's the Company or the Trust that owns it, as I cannot recall that...

    The NYMR doesn't need the teak coaches; that's true, but they sure as heck should want them.

    On one hand I was thinking it was a bit strange as I'm pretty sure there have been times where the only available steam loco has been 46512, and they have managed. Forward planning wise having 4, possibly 5 seems a sensible decision in terms of...
