Thank you for that, I agree with you but nice to have an outside view! I shall pass it on.
That we have a carriage shed :) I think I can say with certainty it'll be at Winchcombe, but beyond that it's way above my pay grade for now, as...
I thought one was a later era than the other like @ruddingtonrsh56 , the darker one being the earlier one?
I was thinking just in the context of a Winchcombe - Broadway shuttle as and when Broadway signal box and P2 is commissioned, and very much a WIBN...
Well it depends what you're comparing it to! Less than a class 5 loco with 7 or 8 coaches behind it, yes, but that's not really a fair comparison....
I've not really got any thoughts on Willersey, but I can't see the advantage of making that double track. The section to double track would be...
Indeed, as you say, still well worth going, and I shall be, but a definite disappointment. A pre-nationalisation loose coupled goods set is a rare...
The goods train only appears to do a single Bewdley-Arley trip Sunday evening all gala, is that right?
I don't see why those two concepts are mutually incompatible? Just because it's not the quickest method doesn't mean that's not why people use the...
According to the BoE inflation calculator, £1700 in 1967 is worth £32,800 today. I don't think old steam locos are one of the index products used...
Ah yes, very simple :rolleyes:
I seem to recall it was another one of those locos whose contract was mysteriously cut short...?
I think you're thinking of Weston-Sub-Edge, the Platform 2 building (same/very similar to that at Toddington) ended up at Carrog. Willersey was a...
Indeed, it could never be more than a bus shelter type thing, which doesn't exactly excite me. At the rate Bishop's Cleeve is expanding it won't...
Of course our time has a price, but it's a price we're generally willing to pay, that's the point of volunteering. In return, we get enjoyment...
I agree with Tom, as a roster clerk I'm not convinced we should be attaching a "volunteer cost" to photo charter in the way Steve describes. 8n my...
But the fewer days you operate, the larger the daily profit will need to be to pay for things that cost the same irrespective of the number of...
But will that generate enough money to pay for overheads, bridge repairs, track renewal etc.?
For what it's worth, an S&T manager was one of the GWSR's first paid positions, such is the importance as you describe.
In the interests of gala organisers' hairlines I have suggested next year's theme should just be "operational steam locos"... :)
