    Just an update on the YWR - apologies for the 3 1/2 years since the last one! We have worked very hard over the intervening years (as you have to), both on & off site & have grown the railway tremendously in that time. This picture summarises...

    The signal box is from Sprotborough on the old Hull & Barnsley railway, having been on an allotment for about 50 years. Around 75% of it is still original. It is not yet connected up to anything (hence the ground frame) but does have the lever...

    Hi Reg, Thanks for this I will feed it back. Unfortuantely we are restricted this year on stock (Due to the unfortunate shutning incident at KDR, and also exams/coaches out of service), as such we were rather dictated to that the DMU needed to...

    I had a very good afternoon on the railway yesterday. I took the DMU shuttle (I think that it was 51941 / 52064 / 50593?) from Kidderminster to Highley, visited The Engine House and then went onto Bridgnorth behind 13268. After a quick pint in...

    Yes and no. I'd challenge the "Enthusiasm of volunteers - they love an extension" point. Some do. I've made the point before that amongst volunteers, you broadly get three camps - "builders", "restorers" and "operators". Within those groups, the...

  7. mdewell 回复主题: The Gwili Railway thread.

    Completely agree, but those are relatively short term gains. You then have to continue to operate the longer railway and cover increased fuel and maintenance costs (for both rolling stock and PW). Hopefully the snowball effect will help with...

    Old post but I believe 3192 is still in the Roundhouse at Barrow Hill. There was an unidentified Hunslet in green primer there for the Rail 200 event, which appears to be the same loco as older photos. Progress seems slow as it appears much the...
