I guess one reason for the hopscotching is the need for temporary road-vehicle access to locations requiring major civil engineering works including several bridge, culvert & embankment sites. Track can then be laid on a section once road...

أعجب Miff بمشاركة jnc' في موضوع Rother Valley Railway.
Oh, right; my memory is failing again. Your post a while back indicated that it was the Junction Road one that was (then) planned for November; my brain clearly swapped 'A21' for 'Junction Road' (probably because that would be in order, along the...

المشاركة في موضوع Kent & East Sussex Railway.
Very early in my career I worked for a small(ish) manufacturing company. At a meeting about new products the MD summed up the discussion as “so what we need is a Cheap S**t Unit for the export market”. The R&D man wrote down ‘CSU’ and took it...

المشاركة في موضوع Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
I agree with @35B - leave it to the railway and/or their planning consultants to refute objections, if necessary, in a professional manner. They will be watching, as anyone can, the incoming comments. Stating the reasons why the railway is a...

أعجب Miff بمشاركة Fenway' في موضوع Denmark's First Steam Locomotive in Action.
At the Danish Railway Museum in Odense, they built an authentic replica of the country's first steam locomotive from 1846. Like so many first generation steam locomotives of that era, the original "Odin" was also built in England by Sharp...

I had heard that she did amazingly well on the WHR too. As such, if the MW new builds are going to be just as good, why keep looking at locos from other railways which may need extensive restoration after initial purchase costs, may not be...
