lynbarn liked Brucklebog's post in the thread Helston Railway.
Judging by the tone of the public statement (Also now in the railway press) I would imagine that’s not going to happen anytime soon. Having seen more than my fair share of this sort of ‘Artistic differences’, there are no doubt personality...

Yes, good news. Much better than going to meet the gas axe. It was originally scheduled to go to the Bala Lake Railway in North Wales but apparently they no longer want it.

Not going far then, at least it stays in the County.

I've not had that problem on CS1 chaired sleepers, even those dating back to 1948. The nuts have always come off when changing broken chairs. One or two have sheared but only one or two.

How pleasing to see such an accurate recreation from such a small railway. It always seems so tempting for the "start-ups" to populate all their stations with portacabins and deal with the historical rebuilds later. I like how this halt appears...

On Monday 14th September we welcomed Daniela Filova to our base at Diamond Engineering in Sheffield. She was measuring and calculating the Centre of Gravity of our six coupled driving wheels, one of the final actions before we are ready to send...

Shame, it's a pity we don't have a current David Morgan around to sort the issues out, who can look at both sides of the discussion and work out a plan that would be agreeable to both parties

lynbarn liked Kentish Railways's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
I will say as the author of said post, while not innocent in fanciful tangents, I was continuing a discussion on odd loco rebuilding. This included the regauging of locos from abroad and rebuilding of 6 coupled locos to something more KESR...

I have been doing a bit more digging on this loco, and I have now been told the reason why it never came back was that it is out of gauge for most of the UK heritage railways

lynbarn liked Wenlock's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
An 0-8-0T Bagnall, designed for heavy slow movement within a steelworks, is unlikely to have been built for sustained running at 25mph. I have no data on the design, but suspect it might be just as rough on the track as the two USA tanks on...

Many thanks. From your comment about G.O.S. I assume, as would be expected of course, that timetable planning is well under way. Hopefully to be releasd soon, aka when it's ready! As for that C set on the Sunday, does that planning yet state...
