    I was the PM fireman yesterday, drove the return run. It was a little slippy in places but given it’s not doing what it’s built to do I wasn’t surprised. That run up round Miners to Highley was bit tedious though :mad:

  7. The Dainton Banker liked 35B's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    I suggest that attendance is at least in part a function of the importance given to them by the organisation's leadership, demonstrated by the level of encouragement to attend and the space within the event (not necessarily as "AGM" business) for...

  8. The Dainton Banker liked ilvaporista's post in the thread Cuneo House Light Railway (yet to be confirmed).

    Here are a couple of pictures of the first excavations for the railway. Still not sure of a name. The Norfolk and Good was suggested but the Geordie accent doesn't really work in Italian. A long way to go but we are off to a good start....

    In my case, it's more like 18 months since my camera came out of its bag. It was a very glinty sort of day. My efforts at South Stoke, Baulking, Honeybourne and Radley are here: [MEDIA]
