    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

    I don't think the 2ft gauge railway outside of Bratton Fleming is in use anymore, as the loco and rolling stock have now moved to Woody Bay recently.

    Date not agreed yet but I have heard, early 2027. The place to check is One Network for scheduled road closures. Nothing is shown yet, indicating that ESCC and Highways England have not agreed a traffic regulation order.

    Sometimes I can't keep up with all this progress, not wishing mine or anyone else's life for that matter, away, but is there a rough date when work starts on the second Level crossing this year?

    I've posted a pic on the gala thread at https://www.national-preservation.com/threads/welshpool-llanfair-light-railway-autumn-gala-4-6-sept-2026.1426391/ It was a bit tricky to get all 4 in. Others may have managed better!

    Just spent 2 days at the gala, which despite issues, was very enjoyable. Fridays double header to Welshpool was great fun. These are mostly from Friday, which seemed to offer more opportunities to both ride and photo. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

    Well despite yesterday's late running, I still had an enjoyable day. The WLLR really does know how to put on a show. Premier was certainly making its presence felt even when double headed with the diesel. Did also manage to get rides between 822...
