Thanks, Mike, for that. For some reason, I had it in my mind that the rapid amount of progress was due to track laying happening every week; glad to be corrected.

Patience! Track laying is generally one week per month, not every week. You ask when our wonderful K&ESR volunteer P Way team will run out of trackbed - the construction programme anticipates we run out of trackbed on which to lay any more track...

It is all looking good. I do have one question I hope someone can answer: assuming they can keep up the 360-meter track relaying each week, how long will it be before they run out of trackbed?

New from the RVR is a report showing the progress we made this week. Was far better temperatures to work in though Tuesdays rain reached parts you never knew could get wet!! We are back laying track next week....

Junction Road Crossing was on the One Network a couple of weeks ago but disappeared after a couple of days.

A small additional reminder - Blythburgh Station Open Day this Sunday 13th September, between 10.30 and 15.45. Everything free, except small charge (£5.00) for the short train ride (almost certainly the shortest heritage railway in the UK!)...

Hi all, I totally agree with what the last 3 writers have said. I have been saying the same thing for years about a certain 2ft gauge rail in the West Country. I do take the heritage aspect of this very seriously, but the reality is that it needs...

Given the vast expense of building a new loco from scratch, I suspect 'some people' would be a vanishingly small number compared to, for example, those interested in forking out towards the prospect of seeing an A1 or P2 out and about on the main...

Not to mention that the costs of doing this at standard gauge are much, much, greater than 2ft gauge

I'm afraid that the "light railway vision" is fabulous, but doesn't pay the rent. The fact is, we need engines that can get 5 mk1's up Tenterden bank. The ethos of getting "whatever is available" was prevalent at the start of preservation, but...

The whole issue of what steam locomotives to acquire for each railway is full of unexploded mines, while part of me would like to see a few more locos from Java or even Cuba, for that matter, back here in the UK; the realistic side of me asks the...

Possibly picked up by GIs who were stationed in the UK and listened to ITMA on the radio during that time? Tom
