It doesn’t matter if you go East or West, it would still cost millions and is highly unlikely to get planning permission

"Too many locos" is I think being harsh. The collection exists both to provide operational locos, and to be displayed when locos are out of traffic. It isn't there just to provide the smallest possible number of locos necessary to run the...

Why? You make it sound like the enpa are driving the project. I would think that they are ambivalent at best towards any extension. Even if your idea was possible, it would cost millions to buy the land and engineer a trackbed.

Given the ENPA's insistence on the 'heritage' past, and their reluctance to accommodate even just a modest widening of the treackbed at CFL, I can imagine their reaction to such an idea would along the lines of McEnroe's "you can not be serious"...

...nor any sign of early consultation with local residents etc. Surely by doing that before submitting an application - even if only in a basic 'rough outline' form - you may be able to fend of at least some objections, rather than risk having a...

Why do you ask in terms of "ever going to steam again?" The loco is safe and is in the queue amongst other, similar, locos...in the meantime why not lend it out to someone else who would like to display it?

Perhaps the good Colonel missed a trick! He did just about everything else to make minor railways minimise costs and maximise income.

I never said that at any point . My observation was that your own society records , as I read it, shows a very significant contribution from "they". I have no foot in either camp LSL or 6024 , I sit as a total outsider and having watched other...

One would hope that the website is consistent with the Trust's articles/constitution - and that if that has changed, the website has been kept up to date.

It will be interesting to see any effect on the funding stream if the loco is to be brought into the Didcot fold, and if this is seen as a restrictive move with the loco potentially becoming a static exhibit after its' first boiler cycle. I...

All very clear. I do miss the late Paul Hitchcock sometimes. He had his monomanias, and one was on Railway structures, but at times you feel he did have a point about simplicity and clarity. Certainly in the case of major appeals, I'd want to...

Most of the stock at Didcot is actually owned by Great Western Preservations, basically just to protect the collection in the event the Society went under. So, it’s quite simple. You have the Hawksworth County at Didcot, which is owned by GWP...

Maybe not a surprise, but it is news I think. From the County project website "The Churchward County Trust Ltd (CCT) was set up in January 2018 as a wholly independent, not-for-profit company (Limited by Guarantee), and was awarded Charitable...

Even if you went in with a clear plan, it sounds like it could take a while to feed through. For example, if (as it sounds) all the locos have boiler tickets aligned to fall over the closed winter maintenance period, then it is not easy to...
