Hi Peter, I would agree that the railway doesn't need to own any of the steam locos that it needs; in fact, I can only think of maybe a few narrow-gauge locos which belong to that railway due to being part of the equipment when the railway was...

I happened to be in the unit where the loco is stored a few weeks ago. It quite impressive and was being built in streamlined form. The boiler has a roundtop firebox which would tally with being a 'Romney type ' Size wise to the untrained eye it...

I do get your point, but I think the reason they came about in the first place was to basically stop Woody Bay becoming a 2ft gauge Barry scrap yard of narrow-gauge ex-industrial diesel locomotives, of which there were a number looking for new...

I'll add something to the last couple of days thoughts, as I have had a busy week and not had time to type something coherent. This is from my viewpoint as an interested person who volunteers at another railway but no in depth knowledge of the...

From what has been said on Facebook, it would be too long for Hythe between the stop blocks and point work, and so the report said it could hit a couple of the bridges. To be honest, I find this all a bit strange, considering that it was being...

That’s interesting… I wonder if they’re doing the catering? That’ll take it up a notch! Simon

It's a bit too big for our 15" project here in Italy, but you can dream! We are still fiddling with clearances, so decided to build a coach mock-up.[ATTACH][ATTACH]

There are plenty like that. I volunteered on the TR for a good number of years, regularly making the 320 mile return trip at weekends.

That never works in my experience. There’s usually a number of, let’s call them messy individuals (other descriptions are available), who don’t clean up after themselves and expect others to do everything for them.

I come back to the point I made many years ago, and what is missing from the L&BR project is a voluntary accommodation base somewhere for about 20 to 30 people to be able to rest, relax and get to know each other over dinner and a beer. It could...

From what I have seen on Facebook, they say it is too big for the RH&DR to use, which is a shame. Hindsight is a wonderful thing at times, but if that is the case, what other 15-inch gauge lines could it possibly run on without having the same...

We visited the Launceston Steam Railway a couple of weeks ago and noticed that in their timetable - essentially they are a Sunday - Thursday operation. I suspect it is because for many local holiday lets, they run on a Friday - Friday or Saturday...
