    If those stories are not true, why doesn't the management react to them and tell everybody what is true?

    I did indeed highlight that as a trend on our railway, and wondered if it there were a similar trend elsewhere. But I don't see the need to advertise for such roles as a weakness or worry; rather, I am happy that the railway is taking a...

    Makes a change from cable thieves.

    Snow Hill to the SVR via Stratford seems decidedly odd.

    Where will the turnouts be operated from?

    Oh I don't know. This latest round of discussion started with "fanciful wanderings", post #1841 not from @lynbarn, about an Ilfracombe Goods. "Fancy" is another version of "fantasy", and the wanderings then extended into ever more extreme...

    I don't think anyone was suggesting trying to acquire the Irish mogul. I understood the suggestion to be rebuilding an 0-6-0 of some sort as a mogul, rather as the Irish one was, to make it a bit more suitable for many miles at 25 mph. That is a...

    This chair seems to have fundamental importance. What would happen to the grand master plan if someone moved the chair overnight?

    Tom, it was tongue-in-cheek and was not a serious proposal. If you consider the number of steam locos that the UK has built in the past 200 years and sent around the world, and the number which have come back, you would know it would not happen;...

    The bottom line is that the K&ESR is in an unusual position for a project which bought its first locos direct from BR. The Terriers are great and (as with the Bluebell and the IoWSR) still - and will - have their place on the railway, although...

    I'm interested in the mention of taxation. If the business runs at a loss (and a substantial loss at that, before subsidies from a supporting charity or elsewhere are taken into account) what is taxable (besides VAT on incoming supplies, which...

    Thank you for several invaluable clarifications. I was probably not the only one here unaware of your resigning as Trustee. It is reassuring that there are nowhere near 17 marketing people, but even one or two should be enough to prevent most of...

    There is no NELPG weekend .2392 only loco that would be available. D6700 once featured at a steam gala when 60163 arrived in steam and was duly failed by the shed on arrival .
