That's not "hilarious"; I'm wavering between 'infuriating' and 'unbearably sad'. Because the line really is in a bad corner, and, as you observe, this is a pretty telling insight into who's minding the store. Noel

There is good news that the six main forgings for the inner valve gear components (To replace those stolen in 2022) have now been completed, with the relevant certification. They are due for a final inspection before despatch to Daniela Works.

Worth a watch from Durango & Silverton, as a overweight train is lifted, and taken to its destination. From the footplate. Hyce Reacts - 473 OVER TONNAGE - AMAZING job by the crew!

Nick C liked Big Al's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.
Went with the family to the MHR today. Had to bite my tongue as the little grandson expressed disappointment that the loco didn't have a long chimney (like the ones in the cartoons) and that he couldn't hear it apart from an occasional whistle....

That's not hilarious. That's shameful and embarrassing. Constantly begging for money then paying to enter a pointless award ceremony. That's appalling and willy waving of the highest order.

misspentyouth62 liked Big Al's post in the thread The 10A Allocation.
We've been around this one many times. It's a private company and it's none of our business how it is run. That's for regulating bodies to oversee and respond as appropriate. The impact on others has always been my concern. The money I now spend...
