    Yes, as Harold's post and link above today the last (for the moment!) of the series posts showing the track laid to date at Rother Valley Railway....

  3. Miff liked 35B's post in the thread Martyn's Law.

    Thank you for this analysis. Again, from a church perspective, I'm sadly familiar with these. As a parent, I've had to be advised of measures taken to protect the choir during rehearsals because of intruders and the risk they've posed to those...

  4. Miff liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Martyn's Law.

    I should say straight away that I am not a lawyer, so this is an interpetation, not a legal judgement. I also admit I have not read the legislation at all, but I have read the guidance. I wonder if some of the statements being put around about...

  6. Miff liked Olde576's post in the thread V2 4771 Green Arrow to return?.

    I can speak as an american who has kept up with the T1 Project and I want to set the record straight. It's far less about exceptionalism, and more about how that class of locomotives is our metaphorical Duke of Gloucester: locomotives that had...

  7. Miff liked Breva's post in the thread Barnstaple and Yeo Valley Railway Trust - B&YVRT.

    EA will no longer be active, but the company will continue to exist legally for a while, as things are wound down. The B&YVRT will now do the land purchases, and more that EA could not do. We had a shareholder's meeting, and the vote to transfer...

    Yes, that is the plan

    Just to be clear, does this mean Exmoor Associates will merge fully into the Trust and cease to be a separate organisation? I’d like to hope so, since this would reduce unnecessary complexity.

  10. Miff liked Breva's post in the thread Barnstaple and Yeo Valley Railway Trust - B&YVRT.

    As you may know, the shareholders of Exmoor Associates, the little company that is buying back the trackbed pieces of the Lynton & Barnstaple railway below Wistlandpound reservoir, recently voted to transfer the company's assets to the Barnstaple...

  12. Miff liked Fireline's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.

    All three were out of service by then, although it could be argued that Dom and Hastings were never really in service. Gervase at least did some work in the early years. Gervase's current overhaul is proceeding at Rolvenden, and with Hastings and...

    Similarly, many British retain post-imperial delusions. Americans are on the same journey and will soon arrive. "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

  15. Miff replied to the thread V2 4771 Green Arrow to return?.

    Speed records are out of fashion. The fact that the current Land Speed Record, held by Thrust SSC, hasn’t been broken since 1997 suggests two things: 1. If somebody was interested in funding a serious challenge the record is there for the taking...
