Well #403 has lots missing, #067 has a mostly black inside and chassis rails and #676 has a finished sub assembly fixed end (We are still awaiting the new "W" iron). [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

We do want a carriage shed, but can't decide where and how big. Not to mention the cost ... The canopy gang could make quite a bit of it, and reduce the cost....

I agree with @35B - leave it to the railway and/or their planning consultants to refute objections, if necessary, in a professional manner. They will be watching, as anyone can, the incoming comments. Stating the reasons why the railway is a...

There's also the volunteer motivation element to think about. On the one hand, our upholstery team are quite happy doing seats for other railways on a contract basis making some money for the railway. On the other, I can't say the idea of...

Has anyone ever made that model work? I think you'd end up buying carriages for a four figure sum, spending a six figure sum to restore them and selling them on for a five figure sum. Not even Milo Minderbinder could get that maths to work. I...

It's not just the passenger numbers that need to be considered; how many people would be enticed/dissuaded from volunteering if the railway is not an authentic (as far as possible) L&B. It also needs to be carefully considered regarding how many...

Quite. And hence my thought is - do you have to go there all the time? If you remove that constraint, it opens up possibilities on the core timetable, and opens up the available rolling stock and locos; and also provides breathing space to keep...

I think enticing people to get out at intermediate stations will always be difficult, unless there is an absolutely compelling reason to get out there. (Such as Highley on the Severn Valley). If someone gets out and the station occupies them for...

We have different views on this subject. in my opinion the vast majority of people will want to go to either Whitby or Goathland and that is what needs to be catered for. Trying to entice people to go to Levisham, Newtondale or Grosmont will...

I posted another blog update today. It's here: https://yeovalleylines.blogspot.com/2026/08/equipment-purchases.html Hope you like it. There will be more news after the open meeting in Barnstaple on September 26th. Any interested party can...

It could be, but the results of that strategy aren’t exactly looking great - and run four square into the fundamental constraints of the infrastructure. While I’d suggest that some posters are a tad intransigent, I also see the same in reverse
