Chums, just a wee note to say that we had a very fruitful first project meeting with the HLF after the good news was announced. As any of you...
Tom, Absolutely; in fact I recall our submission saying something to that effect :D
Chums, sorry it's been a while but you know how these things are; the work get frantically done and then all quiet with nothing to report or...
Gosh; some belters in this thread. Positively makes "look, the silly man's washing the coal" at Haworth seem positively sensible. :-)
I'd love to see a Baltic tank. It would stand out from the crowd (unique) but probably quite sensible in the power and route availability stakes?...
I love the constant updates on the bridges blog.... absolutely first class building porn! Very well done all!!
Tom, David is nothing to do with the J21 but rest assured I will be keeping you updated in the New Year on what the immediate future is for the...

Chums, next Monday Shillingstone will take delivery of its 20 ton LMS brake van that will be restored over the winter/spring ready for next...
Just a wee line to let you know that the new signal box at Shillingstone will be officially opened by one of the Station's last employees from the...
Ha ha ha ha ha! priceless :)
Chums, Despite looking beyond shabby it is my understanding that 8f 48173 is being restored at the Churnet Valley Railway following its move...
Aerolite! A lovely engine that will suit many of the medium sized railways a treat.
Many thanks for your kind comments and I'll try and post some inside shots now that the interior panelling is fettled. The main focus has been...
Forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but the Lune Valley Railway from Clapham through Ingleton and beyond. I would also like to get a...
Chums, sorry about the radio silence after all the updates on the signal box but rest assured that we have been busy. The trouble with projects...
