    Went back looking for this thread, didn't realise it was quite so long ago! Anyway, the HRA's long awaited guidance note following their successful campaign to change the law regarding young people volunteering on heritage railways last year was...

    6695 is still on site but stopped for firebox repairs. It was expected 6695 would replace the Ferrum until the Avonside was ready, but that plan was foiled by the 6695 firebox issues. It is planned to send the Ferrum away for overhaul and it will...

    They must be desperate for traction (no insult intended to the S160), reports are that they can't afford to run the loco due to the amount of diesel that it is using, rumoured to be the equivalent of 12 tons of coal per day.

    I hear that the S160 has been pressed into service, seemingly on instructions from high level, despite the fact that people aren't passed out on it so shed staff are having to accompany them. Still nothing on their website about the current need...

    This sounds fairly ominous for the NYMR, if the cost of 12 tons of coal a day is an insupportable load. (I'm assuming, of course, that the fare revenue income from the services allowed by said expenditure is enough to cover said cost; if it...

    Pre WW2 you could hire a slate wagon that was attached to the train to Abergynolwyn and and after the last train had departed head off back down the line to Towyn - as it then was. BUT the Tallylyn was not designed for gravity working and there...

    Lovely (imagine fitting the Cameras of the day in the cab). I've always wondered what the two brass fittings on the front of the running boards were. I assume they were lubricators, and they were in use at the time judging by the steam coming out.

    I read somewhere that the horses know the routine so well that if you reduce the number of trips by one, they try to carry on, past the depot!
