DavidW liked Ebbw Junction 1's post in the thread SVR General Discussion.
I had a very good afternoon on the railway yesterday. I took the DMU shuttle (I think that it was 51941 / 52064 / 50593?) from Kidderminster to Highley, visited The Engine House and then went onto Bridgnorth behind 13268. After a quick pint in...

DavidW liked Fred Kerr's post in the thread Churnet Valley Railway General Discussion.
I believe it was considered successful with +70,000 tickets sold; the locomotive success IMHO was the appearance of D1944 / 47292 in original 2-tone green livery. [ATTACH]

DavidW liked Wenlock's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
I think that in any volunteer led, but commercially run, business, there will always be a variety of views. We operate democratically, and some will always have views which differ from others. But overall we get along, and do stuff. Individuals...

A few from a nice day yesterday, the evening light at Racecourse certainly made for a lovely scene! [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]

Time has flown by since we first gave cab rides over 180ft of track. This was May 2015 with a local BBC News team on site: [ATTACH] In fact in May last year we celebrated 10 years since opening to the public! [ATTACH] Unbelievably, we will...

I nearly forgot the Mk2 coach we bought almost 4 years ago - BSO 6027. To be honest, it was in danger of becoming a bit of a 'white elephant', but we then had the idea of converting it into our shop/cafe/seating area as this was previously...

The signal box is from Sprotborough on the old Hull & Barnsley railway, having been on an allotment for about 50 years. Around 75% of it is still original. It is not yet connected up to anything (hence the ground frame) but does have the lever...

DavidW liked Tom02's post in the thread Swanage Railway General Discussion.
Right this sounds positive - I’m thinking originally they wanted a platform on the loop section which looks directly out to the oil sidings. Temporary station sounds good - cheaper and more flexible for future. It Wouldn’t be hard to put in an...

From my understanding, DMU service to a temporary platform adjacent on the upside of Pikes Bridge, which is the exit road from Blue Pool
