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...

In which case, it has to be asked why LSL chose to spend so much money on work on 6024 when it was so nearly ready? This outsider, with no axe to grind either way, finds that surprising - unless there were issues with either the work done or the...

Without comment on any particular location, “getting people out” hasn’t been a particular problem at Woody Bay, so I don’t see why it has to be a major issue at the Barnstaple end. The railway would be selling primarily to tourists, not...

Other restoration businesses specialising in “the conservation, repair and restoration” of heritage items, including “railway carriages in several gauges” are available! ;) Tom

I don’t particularly have a side to bat for with the whole taking 6024 to bits again, and re-doing it argument. However, what strikes me is LSL have accepted 60007 and 71000 with minimal fuss, they didn’t accept them and then take them to bits...

Just back home after our first visit to the Bluebell and wow, what a railway! We had a fantastic day. Good timetable with plenty of services at good intervals which enabled us to see everything we wanted to see, stop off at the intermediate...

I agree. The first problem I think with Parracombe is that those most affected do not want to be a destination. That I think given the local infrastructure is a valid concern and a valid objection that could well pose a significant issue to...

GER coach no.14 has been purchased and arrived on the railway the other day, a significant addition to the railway as it’s the only known surviving coach that ran on the original mid suffolk, looks great. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Same conclusion I came to two and a half years ago. (See post #10921.) You wouldn't need to demolish it any time soon though. Get permission to do so, build the extension up to just short of it, and just keep renting it out until such time as...

I think @lynbarn approves of the B&YV Trust approach, provided each incremental section of reconstructed line is at least long enough to house a pair of 2ft gauge Indian Pacific locos sourced from Collection X and also includes a fun fair to...

Colin, what do you think of the B&YV Trust’s recently announced strategy (see my 5 Feb post) to “borrow from the canal restoration world to build where we can, gradually linking together sections of the line” ? It’s much lower key than any of...

The value of that business case can be seen from what we have now. A report, never published and never acted upon, using data and assumptions that are now 30 years old, is worth less than the paper it’s printed on. And that’s taking the view that...

I'm glad you think so, because in my experience directors and trustees of heritage railways, across the country, are almost all volunteers. Managers is another matter; if you need someone to run the thing 7 days a week then it stands to reason...
