ghost liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Swanage Railway General Discussion.
It’s unique, but there are many unique locos of comparable age and complexity! I guess there is £10k of transport before you even start … The key questions for me would be: How much stripping down does the NRM (and indeed Swanage) want to...

Well, for a railway that's not keen on Bulleids, they certainly use Eddystone a lot. <BJ>

Have they? Please provide evidence..... and just because a bulleid goes to another railway doesn't mean SR is not too keen on them

Rob, thank you for your open and honest take on this matter. Whilst as others point out, is is not unusual to see charity Trustee candidates recommended by an incumbent Board, I think in this case, and where we have a very divided membership, it...

I agree. Endorsement is a guide, but one amongst several available to any member willing to read the materials provided. There is plenty of information available to help assess the candidates, and the impact that they are likely to have on the...

Why would JB fund their overhauls? They are under contract to the SR, therefore any overhauls are the responsibility of, and would be paid for by the SR. Once the contract ends in 2039, JB would be responsible for funding any overhauls. I also...

ghost liked Pete Thornhill's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
Funnily enough I was just catching up and thinking exactly the same thing when I read your post, and remember well how the WSR thread was the same as you say. Mod note - Please can we try to remain on the subject this thread is about - the L&B...

ghost liked flying scotsman123's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
This thread seems to be suffering in the same way the WSR threads used to during their crises; when things went quiet for a bit a number of people who posted almost exclusively on that one thread got restless not having anything new to talk about...

ghost liked J Rob't Harrison's post in the thread Bridge that Gap: Great Central Railway News.
Well the thumbnail sketch shows a loooooonnnngg viaduct, rather than the embankment that's been the idea since 2013/14 ish. Personally I think going for a viaduct option makes perfect sense.

I think that is the bit between the canal and Railway Terrace that was going to be an embankment John

92219 has now made it into the shed after 46464 vacated the space at the back of number 2 road. Dismantling is expected to start in June, so far there has been an independent boiler / firebox inspection and report, as well as a few rivet heads...

I tend to agree on recording surreptitiously, as informed consent is important. However, for General Meetings of an organisation in which the minutes tend to be very vague (so much so that there isn't even approval of the previous year's minutes...

When did he make a previous attempt? I would be very surprised if Bill had anything to do with copilot, since he resigned as MS chairman in 2014 and from MS completely in 2020. PS: you don’t have to use edge…
