Sheff liked 35B's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
If by Hole Ground you mean what is now the Barnstaple Social Club, I would regard that as not to be touched, given the significant social needs of the area; the Pilton car park may also be quite challenging. But my thoughts are more that, as...

Sheff liked Drewry Car's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
In my limited (two weeks a year at some point between June and September) experience of Pilton Yard car park it is very popular and sometimes full. It's a good source of income for someone (Council?) and I can't see that being given up easily. I...

Sheff liked The Gricing Owl's post in the thread Photographing steam in the Karoo.
Wonderful to hear your Karoo experiences. The 25 you heard in 1986 would have been 3511, the sole operational surviving condensing lok by then and a heritage loco by then too based at Beaconsfield loco shed, Kimberley. The shed would sometimes...

GER coach no.14 has been purchased and arrived on the railway the other day, a significant addition to the railway as it’s the only known surviving coach that ran on the original mid suffolk, looks great. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
