  1. acorb gefällt SVR C&Ws Beitrag in dem Thema GWSR General Discussion and Operations.

    There in lies the problem for most heritage railwats. What do you prioritise capital expenditure on. There are 3 things that should always have the strongest budget in my eyes. Infrastructure, Locos and carriages. Without any of them, you cant...

    I love your idea that when a main line registered loco is 'out working' there is precious little for workshop volunteers to do. Can I suggest to you that the same people are just as busy; they are simply doing different stuff.

    Nothing's good if you drive a Reliant Robin. I once had a lift in one so am speaking from experience.:)

    Today, I was on Pickering station for 20 minutes or so today and at least five people with family groups were trying to decipher the timetables. (I would like to see a clear large departure board displayed together with the full timetable, as the...

    Oh don't get me wrong, we should definitely build a carriage shed! But I think we should build one with a primary purpose of it being used all year round. A carriage shed is certainly near the top of the generally agreed priority investment...

    We don't only have carriages that would benefit from cover, but also newly restored wagons, which go straight back into the open.:( Cover is also needed for a lovely horse box on the line, as well as a GWR inspection saloon. I stood on a MACAW...

  7. banburysaint gefällt Jamessquareds Beitrag in dem Thema GWSR General Discussion and Operations.

    The money side of a carriage shed is an odd beast. If you use it to store operating vehicles, then you can see that things like the paint lasts longer, and you can cost out that benefit. However, you then get into the weird, somewhat non-sensical...

    I think everyone is on the same sheet here. For too long Mk 1s have been cinderella vehicles and 30 years ago there was a good supply, so if one got a bit tired you could easily get another in reasonable condition. As @Bikermike says that supply...

    What for? Giving up fossil fuels?

    There is a huge amount to catch up with after spending the day putting a canvas on one of our Gresley Brakes today. As Acorb says, at the SVR we currently have 58 serviceable coaches, 78 in the total fleet with 12 red carded, 3 under overhaul...
