If the only possible opportunity to travel behind a recreated Manning-Wardle were to travel to Devon, then that is what people would have to do. Then they would get to visit the recreated L&B, and do that 'adding to the local economy' thing that...

My personal view for many years has been that if each separate group has the same person at the top it is not necessarily the best situation and definitely does not guarantee continuity, and can very much promote the wishes of one person,luckily...

This paragraph is key - formality matters, but its those underlying agreements that really matter as they are the things that those rules and contracts document. And that is where culture really matters - which relies on both "leaders" and...

Well, besides being a life member and having dipped my toe into working on various heritage railways in the past (as and when life would allow), I can see where various problems will arise. The L&BR body has developed several issues over the...

Indeed, they are. And from all that's been said, there are challenges for the 762 Club in this area. But the culture also matters a lot - which is where the concerns are deeper

As a member you should of course have received the accounts for the trust and CIC, I would assume you have read the CIC accounts.

Whilst we all want to see replica authentic locos on the L&BR the overall question has to be are they profitable compared to annual income, it would seem that LYN's steaming fees are considerably higher than SIR GEORGE's, add in a couple of MW's...

No, it won't be that; if anything, you only have to look at the B&YVRT as a possible model of how to go about doing things. The one thing I am always conscious of is that the L&BRT is a members-based Trust and long so it will remain. On the...

There are a number of misconceptions here: 1. That steaming fees cover overhaul costs - it is very clear that they do not, and never have; mainline or preserved. 2. That voluntary donations are inappropriate to cover overhauls - they are...

Yes, I agree that steaming fees should cover the cost of the next overhaul and more, if possible. I am sure that the guys who lease mainline steam to the network charge a fee that would help cover such things. I have heard it so many times that...
