If you have to tell someone where to find a particular piece of information, then “everything is easy to find “ cannot be true.

Not really a pertinent example, the S&D Trust charitable objectives are very different to the WSRA's, and indeed any other general railway support charity that the S&D Trust never claimed to be.

Yes, but I'd suggest that any railway that had got itself to such an existential cash crisis that the only urgent thing was as you suggest would be unlikely to get very far with an appeal - at least unless it could convince those donating that...

All well and fine, I won't even contest the point that a charity could help with the wage bill if those staff are doing something like working in engineering functions on heritage equipment as Tom outlined. BUT, I go back to what the appeal...

I can't help thinking you are seeing problems where none need exist. For example - the railway knows it needs to overhaul a loco, and has the capability to do so in its own workshop, but no budget. Support charity raises money from an appeal and...

Could you point to where this concern has been expressed please, from one trustee to another? [emoji846] I'd be interested to see it in full. Let's not complicate discussion by including mention of gift aid on tickets, that's a totally separate...

Hypothetically though The WSR Board identifies the annual loss They then look at what they need to spend money on So having identified a need to spend say £100K on carriage maintenance & improvement they approach the WSRA asking if they can...

It's a big amount of money without much story or focus. Essentially "give us lots of money to do various things". In four bullet points they have basically listed everything a railway does: locos, carriages, infrastructure, historic artefacts,...

I have been away for a couple of weeks but the team has been working hard, so B589204 is now in undercoat but was outside in the rain, so is still awaiting top coat. B570676 is in the shed and has had repairs done to a couple of lower inner...

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...

A number of people are including the 9F in the future steam fleet. I seem to recall that the loco is there for contract overhaul and no decision has been made yet on where it will run when it is completed. Speaking of which, @Foxontour will the...
