Pure speculation by me but I suspect that there has been a falling out for some reason as, the last time I met Bill Parker he was at the DFR testing his Prairie loco and it was all very friendly. It was a relatively long time ago, though. Time...

Some railways can be very 'loose' with locomotive loan contracts - or the absence of them. I know of one railway that has lent a locomotive and carriages to another railway several times, each time with no written contract, no exchange of...

Have you been hovering over the webpage?! Only just got updated haha. Only came out of our gala meeting a short time ago! Yes sadly it hasn’t been for the want of trying, but an external issue has meant the loco just can’t be done in time....

Are they not Bill Parker/ Flour Mill locomotives? Seems very out of character for an otherwise respected locomotive owning person/ organisation to turn around and make close to a five figure demand like a highway robber. Especially when one of...

I was thinking this. And the Flour Mill is literally a 12 min drive by car from Whitecroft station on the DFR, 20 minutes from Norchard. Very local. Seems odd.

I understand he isn't a charity but I don't think I've ever heard of a locomotive turn up for a gala and suddenly be charged up the wazoo for its use this close to opening day.

A comment within the DFR's Facebook group from a reliable source yesterday insinuated that the owner tried to charge them close to 5 figures for both locos' use with only a week's notice and then cancelled the booked haulier when the railway...

I'm highly sceptical of these claims; I know of locos much bigger and more powerful that only (?!) command steaming fees of £1k per day for galas, so trying to charge a five figure amount for these two of limited use and attraction not only makes...

A fantastic weekend, I managed to visit on Thursday and Saturday so here's my video. For anyone who just wants to hear the castle I suggest jumping to 15:47 where its climbs the bank from Damems, note that the clip starts with it leaving Damems...

It's a popular spot. The line goes uphill, and into the tunnel there. Look the other way, and you'll see the plate layer's hut we're building: [ATTACH] (sorry about the contrast, my basic camera is not good with contrast.)
