Latest upload on the channel from yesterday running during the 40s weekend if anyone is interested. Certainly nice to see Hastings out and about again, do have a soft spot for the loco when I first saw it running at Bluebell during our...

This is purely personal and subjective but I thought it was a good meeting - open, honest and good humoured. I came away feeling that there was much to be positive about, although nobody was minimising the difficulties to be surmounted. The new...

Having attended on Saturday, I can say that yes, it was busy at Tenterden. The parking marshals were doing their best, and a couple were even deployed to the top of Station Road to try to help with the situation. We needed to use a significant...

Just got a small windfall and bunged them £500 (£625 with gift aid), I hope they make the target soon so they can get stuck in. Always make sure you use gift aid when donating if you possibly can!

It was more a reaction to the implied "Volunteer Good /Employee Bad" attitude. The difference between them is more nuanced than such a simplistic contrast suggests. Volunteers are not free. They may not be paid but there are still significant...

Ah yes, this may well work in practice but will it work in theory?

I can't help thinking you are seeing problems where none need exist. For example - the railway knows it needs to overhaul a loco, and has the capability to do so in its own workshop, but no budget. Support charity raises money from an appeal and...
