    The 'value' of the enthusiast market isn't just financial though. I wonder how many amongst that 11% go on to become volunteers at a heritage railway? Although quite conceivable that they 'get the bug' while on holiday and then join a railway...

  8. mdewell vond Jamessquared's post leuk in het topic Rolling Stock For Sale.

    In what way does doing any of those things help preserve more vintage carriages? Does it generate more money? More skills? More under-cover storage space? More workshop capacity? Or are you just trying to impose an additional level of bureaucracy...

    Pleased to see Conqueror now free from the Surrey farm buildings. I had to climb over two locos to get to it when we were doing some filming there. Last time I saw it before Peter Rampton's place, it was slumbering in the open sidings at...
