  3. Hampshire Unit liked Gladiator 5076's post in the thread Swanage Railway General Discussion.

    Second sold out week of the Diesel Driving experience provided some indifferent weather. During a brighter period (despite totally blue skies when I left Swanage about 25 minutes before) the return leg of the first run after lunch today is seen...

  4. Hampshire Unit liked class8mikado's post in the thread A2 60532 Blue Peter.

  5. Hampshire Unit liked Jamessquared's post in the thread 35028 Clan Line.

    Their primary purpose wasn't to contribute to steaming; it was to improve water circulation (with the spin-off benefit of keeping a flow of water over the crown if water level got low). I don't see how you can "close off" or remove the syphons...

  10. Hampshire Unit liked 35B's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    I agree, arguments need to stop. But that means having serious discussion about the pros and cons of different options, openly and frankly, to get to a plan that works. The consultation last year was a start on that, but it didn't really...

  11. Hampshire Unit liked DaveE's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
