SECR 65 replied to the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
What would be ideal and what I (not neccecarily the Bluebell Railway) think should happen is that 80100 (currently dumped at Horsted Keynes in Barry condition) should get a restore and run deal with another line. Possibly the KESR??? Basically...

More puzzled as to why anyone would carry 4 (or 6) chairs to such an isolated place.

That’s interesting I’ve only ever seen 4 chairs (sitting on variant) during the track laying process. Are you in on Friday? That’s my next track laying shift day.

Pway is not only about cast iron; we like our comforts too. Funny thing, that chair. I found it lineside. Four more tipped into the cess, and a sixth thrown into the neighbours field. Vandalism?

I am so grateful that there are fit and able people, who willingly lay and maintain yhr track for RVR/KESR. Although 40 years ago I used to muck-in with the track gang at Quainton Rd, I was never the fittest. After moving my volunteering to...

This is the view in the opposite direction, the chair should be there somewhere. [ATTACH] We are currently on target for this working week, but with the help of a NR gang on a community service to thingy, which really gave us a boost! Thanks,...

Steve liked Fireline's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
Although not blameless, the Austerities don't give the track anything like the grief the USA tanks do. A Schools or an L1 would suffer from large driving wheels with not that much weight over them. A standard 4 tank has proved to be ideal in the...

Today was a long day track laying - nine hours. I was pooped, and am currently recovering in my hotel room with a bottle of Malbec... We laid five track panels today, one more than the average of four required to to meet our target of joining up...

MellishR replied to the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Our rep from the NYMR has sometimes made posts like that, quoting someone else's without adding anything, but then shortly afterwards made a second post with his reply. I presume that has been mere finger trouble. I was expecting the same this...
