    Many years ago, the railway produced a booklet with details of every locomotive at Buzzard in it. Is there still a current version, and does it contain details of locos that are no longer at the Railway as well?

    Page's Park is being transformed. This is the old station building in October 2015, before we emptied it over Christmas and it was demolished in early January.[ATTACH]

    What a fundraising potential! This needs to be taken seriously Don't worry, Keith, there are more than enough German-built 60cm gauge locos in the UK looking for homes as it is, and besides, I didn't win the lottery this week:D:D:D

    Don’t give Colin ideas or he’ll be launching an appeal to import a German loco!

    So all we would need in Parracombe is a long rope up to St. Petroc's church... (sorry, I'll get mi coat! :) )

    I'm pleased to note that the recent L&B video by Keith Edwards has, in just the 12 days since release, been viewed over 23,000 times! [MEDIA]

    'One Engine in Steam' was usually described in the Regulations as "one engine, or two engines coupled together". To that extent, the later term of "One Train Working" had more validity perhaps. The other point to consider is not to confuse the...

    Only on the strictest note of pedantry. Because at no time will either engine be operating independently of either the train, or each other. The train would be one permanent continuous entity. The fact that there is a permanently coupled...

    Again, I don't disagree, but let's say that ENPA will only allow us to rebuild Parracombe as a long siding, then straight away we could end up with a locomotive at each end of the train. Does that not count as more than one engine in steam?

    Why would the ORR insist on that? The ORR isn’t in the business of setting prescriptive policies about how heritage railways operate. What it wants to see is that you have robust processes in place to identify and manage risks - that’s quite a...

    I don't disagree, but it may be out of our hands if the ORR insists that we use whistles as part of our SMS

    I know it is different in scale, but the "no whistling" edict also applies at East Grinstead on the Bluebell. The safety mitigation is that the section of line is "one engine in steam" and therefore those most at risk of being hit by a moving...

    ... and no whistles in Parracombe either, as that was one of the objections, so alternative notification systems will be employed.
