    And the most amazing "started in a field in the middle of nowhere" site is, of course, Statfold.

  6. Miff liked Breva's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.

    On the GWSR Broadway extension we levelled the original trackbed, then ferried out ballast from a central point with two big dumpers. A JCB then levelled the ballast piles, on terram, to 8 ins high. We tried a laser attachment to the JCB, but our...

    Based on experience of a crossing in Southampton Western Docks I would guess that corrosion from road salt may be the real enemy. A different track system (more traditional British) but the rails were rotted out in about 5 years. ABP didn't stint...

  10. Miff liked Old Kent Biker's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    The public consultation response to the L&B Planning Application s are now available to view online - some at least. https://exmoor.planning-register.co.uk/Planning/Display?applicationNumber=EXM%2F26%2F172%2FFULL No doubt more will be added over...

  11. Miff replied to the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    @35B - I don't disagree but I think in this discussion (and possibly within L&B management in the past) there has been an over-emphasis on worrying about local objections to planning applications. Cultivating good local relations is very...

  12. Miff replied to the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    1. Comparative numbers of the number of ‘valid’ (or invalid) objections or supportive representations are impossible to obtain until the consultation period ends. 2. The actual number of objections is irrelevant. The most important consideration...
