lynbarn 回复主题: Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
My understanding is that we still have the planning outside of the park due to having rebuilt two bridges along the trackbed towards Westlandpound, but as for Blackmoor itself I don't think there are any current plans, so it will have to be a...

If this is the case, and the fact that we are being told this sort of weather will be the new normal then maybe the 762 Club should seriously consider making one of the 2 MWs oil fired

I would suggest for the most part, you should politely reject such requests. Just because a heritage site exists doesn't mean that it is duty-bound to accept anything that is offered. That is, incidentally, the context of my point about a...

Would it be worth repeating (again?) the potential for anyone with internet access to view the statements in this forum and use them against the railway, without any context of the surrounding discussion? Especially at a time when the railway is...

Nothing wrong with that, but you have just given 99% of NP members apoplexy :Joyful:

IMHO one of the key problems with the L&BRT for a long time has been the lack of formal, agreed policies on many aspects of the restoration and operation. Even the current 'business strategy' to some extent is very high-level and does not get...

lynbarn 回复主题: Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
Regarding the so-called Exmoor Statfold, there are two things which need to be considered. 1. There will be people who will at some stage want to donate their equipment to a railway. I am aware of at least two people who may want to do that to...

My preference would be for the NYMR to only use types that were appropriate to it in the BR era, but pragmatism has to prevail, and such types were, for the most part, underpowered for today's needs - and for the most part do not exist. For the...

The whole NGG16 argument was played out a long time ago; it was suggested by others (not me this time, I would add) that the L&BR should go and buy two or three redundant Garratts and then rebuild the power bogies into standalone 2-6-2T's, if I...

You seem to forget an NG16 is 7ft wide... and the 91 diesels in South Africa were 8ft 5" wide on 2ft gauge! So never say never...

Firstly, you may want to consider where @Jamessquared volunteers... Second, you may want to consider how documents like that come into being - and it's not as tablets of stone from on high. I've been an armchair member there for ~25 years,...

lynbarn 回复主题: Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
I can agree with that; the only thing is that my understanding of the current situation is that there is an insistence that any new-build structures need to comply with current H&S legislation, which may have an adverse effect on the project and...

Which takes us to the age old question of whether it's hp or TE that matters for running a railway. I'd tend to go with hp as a better measure of operational performance rather than outright pulling power. All of which is taken care of in...

Hi Tom I don't disagree with what you say about having a loco policy; it is something that should have been in place a very long time ago, but we are where we are on that. It is not an ideal situation to be in, but then you only have to look...

Sorry, a slip of the fingers: the L&BR Manning Wardles had a Tractive Effort of 7269 lb, give or take :Eggonface::oops::Shamefullyembarrased:, so my answer should have been in lbs and not HP. I am sure that our LYN is much more powerful than...
