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...

That’s interesting… I wonder if they’re doing the catering? That’ll take it up a notch! Simon

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]

There are plenty like that. I volunteered on the TR for a good number of years, regularly making the 320 mile return trip at weekends.

That never works in my experience. There’s usually a number of, let’s call them messy individuals (other descriptions are available), who don’t clean up after themselves and expect others to do everything for them.

For a start i suspect there's plenty of scope to negotiate a more palatable price

I come back to the point I made many years ago, and what is missing from the L&BR project is a voluntary accommodation base somewhere for about 20 to 30 people to be able to rest, relax and get to know each other over dinner and a beer. It could...

From what I have seen on Facebook, they say it is too big for the RH&DR to use, which is a shame. Hindsight is a wonderful thing at times, but if that is the case, what other 15-inch gauge lines could it possibly run on without having the same...

We visited the Launceston Steam Railway a couple of weeks ago and noticed that in their timetable - essentially they are a Sunday - Thursday operation. I suspect it is because for many local holiday lets, they run on a Friday - Friday or Saturday...

I am sure there are several factors which influence the opening/closing dates of 'railway attractions' and I suspect you will never please everybody. For example, in pre-retirement days I never went anywhere on a Sunday, as Sunday...

I agree the L&BR is a go-to location and not an on-the-way location, which I think makes all the difference. Also, tourist movements largely depend on the weather: in good weather, people visit the beaches; in not-so-good but changeable weather,...

Which reinforces the challenge faced by the L&B (and also other remote railways) - they lack the local catchment for either volunteers or customers.
