    It is not only the length of the platform, but also the size and power of the steam locomotives in use. I am not sure where the idea came from in the first place, but my understanding has always been that we need to aim to be able to run...

    While we are on the subject of other Bristol W&C rolling stock, I have been looking at this from the Cyprus Government Railway [ATTACH]

    I think the L&B could do well to stick to what it knows: we have well-established and authorised heritage underframe and bogie designs, so why not utilise those, and build lightweight modern-image or heritage-style aluminium/steel/fiberglass...

    If ever there was one coach that I wished Bristol had made, this was it. Just for reference, I believe these coaches were the same size as an L&BR bogie coach, if you squint and change the machboarding to the solid panels as on the L&BR [ATTACH]

    If you are thinking of corridor coaches, Bristol has supplied these to the Cyprus government railways [IMG] They are similar to those at Tralee and Dingle Railway [ATTACH]

    Hi Dave. Thanks for that; I agree Stuart needs to be in the loop if and when something comes up. Sometimes I don't always have the opportunity, by the time I hear about something, to say too much, as in most cases it has either been sold or...

    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...

    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]
