UP13 replied to the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.
The railway have now confirmed that 31120 won't be attending. Combination of issues with the brakes, high temperatures and the critical role 3417 has as being the air-braked coaching stock, the decision was taken to leave her behind and inspect...

I wasn’t necessarily expecting to see the Heisler (or many of the collection) restored to working order as that simply isn’t practical for a number of reasons, but I think the “clean up and conserve” approach taken with Sotillos and others so...

Cullen liked Nathanjw032's post in the thread Nene Valley Railway.
The costs of the overhauls of the other two locos, which are considerably bigger, will take more time and more money than the 654 project put together. 654 is also in better condition. This is also a totally separate organisation to the NVR - we...

Grosmont coaling tower was largely built in house under the direction of Peter Smeaton. It is a valuable piece of kit; locos can receive several tons of coal in less than a minute, whereas coaling a tender with a bucket loader is a time...

banburysaint liked 60044's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Back in the day, the Grosmont coaling tower was essentially built by a member of the shed staff , mostly from scrap items. The main part was a hopper from a disused household coal yard. If the NYMR were to want to replicate it at Pickering, it...

banburysaint liked Steve's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Whilst possible, it would be a nightmare job . It would have to be tpped on a concrete apron, loaded into a suitable wagon and tripped to Grosmont where it would have to be unloaded. How, would be an interesting converation. I've unloaded 16...

Definitely not a day at the seaside! And it hasn't left Weymouth yet....My guess is that Clan Line is somewhere waiting for the single line section to Weymouth.
