ghost 支持 Balmoral 在 Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development 内发表的帖子.
A couple of random things: The planning application to reopen the 3. 3 mile Bristol to Portishead line is 80,000 pages long. In general, I understand that Railways have steaming agreements in place for any loco's they run on their line and that...

It hardly seems beyond the whit of man to be able to inform the guard before departure whether they are on the final service, or the penultimate one! That said, I'm surprised there is that level of what is basically operational detail in a...

After a busy Wednesday Workday, with five in action, we have done more prep work for the new floors and cleaning the underframes on the two wagons outside. We have nearly finished the initial assembly of the new fixed end for the wagon in the...

hang on, surely the first question, assuming that point about steaming fees is true, is ‘why?’ - followed shortly afterwards by ‘do they need to be?’ And then by ‘what happens when amortised over a longer run?’ (Regardless of the answer to...

At this point I’m almost tempted to start counting the many and varied ways in this thread in which your personal hobby horse (to which we always return) is the solution to problems real or imagined. We’re *well* into double figures. Do you...

I'm sorry to say this Colin, but I find a lot of this to be absolutely mind- numbing, and I do find myself automatically zoning out of it. I'm sure I'm not alone. I'd guess that 99% of us on here don't wish to see the L&B as some kind of...

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...

ghost 回复主题: Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
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....

ghost 支持 TonyW 在 The Douglas Bay Horse Tramway 内发表的帖子.
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...
