    What - tangled up in cotton and with something sharp banging up and down punching holes in what is underneath? :) Tom

    They were really testing out the 8F yesterday as can be seen in this video posted on Youtube. What a sound from 48151! [MEDIA]

    I think you and your fellow gala organisers can rightly give yourselves a big pat on the back. Although I wasn't present, I've looked at the pictures and read the comments on here and to receive so much feedback on the lines of "one of the best...

    Agreed, I am also grateful for the engagement, even when difficult questions are being asked. Regardless of what I think of the replies vs reality I do appreciate John taking the time to take part in the discussion.

    As I’ve said in an earlier post, significant loco failures have been a prime factor this year with 44806, 45428 and 92134 all being out of service for long periods. I also think that 926’s winter maintenance took much longer than originally...

  11. green five liked Jamessquared's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    So if fire risk was the critical factor, are you therefore confident that had it been absolutely bucketing down with rain throughout this summer, the service would have been steam? My reading from here was that there simply wasn't the loco...

    So how was the ceremony fee funded? And you think paying the entrance fee was a good use of funds for a railway which is struggling financially? Please enlighten me to the benefits and why this was a good use of funds. If it was an award on...

    Certainly a sustainable business plan is needed. It was needed at least three years ago. For the last three years please can you advise just how far the NYMR senior management have got in producing such a business plan? The time to put forward...

    Indeed. But, referring back to what @21B has written about engagement, the Spa Valley shows a very different model for achieving engagement and developing support.

    It looks like the good ol' days are back:) Well, almost. Tomorrow, it's planned to be 100% steam between Pickering and Grosmont with only Pebbles making two round trips between Whitby and Grosmont to spoil things. 926, 2392 & 92134 are doing...
