  1. MellishR a plăcut postul lui Steve în subiectul North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    I'm told that the recent Thomas event 'covered its costs' and some 75% of visitors rated their experience as good. On the face of it and in isolation, that has to be good news. However, how the overall income compared with normal operations to...

  2. MellishR a plăcut postul lui John Petley în subiectul Rother Valley Railway.

    All these updates are most appreciated. With the current heatwave affecting the operation of steam locos on the main line and many heritage lines, good news is in somewhat short supply at the moment, so the remarkable progress with the RVR...

    I think what they're trying to say is that the stays / rivets don't protrude into the firebox, so they aren't ablated by the hot flame and gasses. Not that there aren't crown stays at all.

    It hardly seems beyond the whit of man to be able to inform the guard before departure whether they are on the final service, or the penultimate one! That said, I'm surprised there is that level of what is basically operational detail in a...
