I am intrigued that the NYMR management seem to think that they can submit their plans to the Environment Agency and have the works complete within a six week window.The Severn Valley Railaway when re-instating the Mor Brook bridge collapse foumd...

I think the eyebrow raiser felt that saying they were ‘propping up” the bridge on a public Facebook page might not have been the most reassuring term to use to the uninitiated? Maybe ‘reinforced’ ‘strengthened’ or similar might have sounded better?

That's fair, but if releasing a figure into the public domain, I'd expect quite a bit of that assessment to have been done beforehand. If the level of component replacement suggested is required, then I'd have anticipated something in the press...

Even so, £3m is a ridiculous amount to target especially when the article quotes the chairman as saying that they haven’t done a full assessment yet. 6880 cost £1.3m to build and is of similar proportions, so I’m not sure why a complete loco...

You could build a new Atlantic for half that … Tom

That seems an extraordinary amount, even for all paid labour. The wages at Williton must be very competitive! :)

£3million! I nearly fell off my chair when I saw that estimate... Other than the Flying Scotsman I can't think of another engine that's cost that much to overhaul, though I stand to be corrected.

If you are successful enough to manage to build an extension, but have no more engines than today, then you can be certain that one will be available to hire from somewhere. There are a few people restoring 2' gauge engines who will want...

I’m part of a church that meet in a converted warehouse in a business park. When we first bought building there was a high level of local opposition - the chair of the Business Park association stood up at the planning meeting to speak against us...

Now how do you follow that! A very good video thank you all who were involved but especially Geoff for an extra legacy on top of all that he has contributed to the project over the many years. There is no doubt that without Geoff in 2011, the...

The historic L&B wasn't all that good at serving local communities, which is why it closed. Parracombe station is in Parracombe, and Barnstaple Town station was pretty much as convenient for the main line as could be. All the other stations were...

Colin, we have been here before and seem to every couple of weeks, this is just a rehash of what you aleady said. If I’m completely honest it’s becoming a little tedious now. No one wants to build non non L&B locos instead of the MW’s for the...

Colin, I'm sorry to say this, but you are really doing my head in, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. It all sounds like wishful thinking, desperately looking to bend a perceived "problem" towards your evident "solution", which is somewhere to...

ghost gefällt Jamessquareds Beitrag in dem Thema Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
Just looking at the loco mileages for 2025 and noticed that 80151 has gone past 100,000 miles in Bluebell service. I missed a trick a couple of years ago, as Camelot managed that in 2023, and I didn't mention it. 80151, meanwhile, has managed it...
