It would be a rarity then, at least amongst standard gauge locos. One of the issues with funding overhauls from steaming fees is setting the right fee, because it is difficult to predict the future overhaul requirement, and the price of one...

I challenge you to find a steam loco that covers its overhaul costs from steaming fees. Whether you like it or not, additional funds will always be required to top up steaming fees funds. Again, I'm not sure how you think the L&B will be rebuilt...

I have not yet seen the application plans - has anyone? - but I doubt it wery much. CFL was very much a 'stop gap' alternative if unable to get to PE itself - if we do manage that, then what purpose would be served by a Halt at CFL? There is also...

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...

Colin, surely the maintenance and overhaul costs are the responsability of the 762 club, isnt that what the steaming fees are supposed to cover, surely it doesnt matter if LYN had been based at the L&BR or had been spending time at various...

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....

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...

Hi all. Apologies for not having posted a recent update on progress on 61673 Spirit of Sandringham but I have had a few business issues that have been taking up my time! I intend to post a construction update in the next few weeks but in the...

All I could see from those is that the filing is up to date. Nothing to see; move on. If you want to create a stink, go and look at the Teifi Valley Railway. So I'm left to conclude that maybe he doesn't like the individuals who are named as...

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?

Is it a confirmed fact that the NYMR paid for the conversion? Or did Pete Best pay for it himself?
