It’s load 14, I think a Castle was allowed nine and if anything went wrong they could call up the banker from Brimscombe

My post was not intended to be belittling, it was simply a statement of my own experience - and I accept that yours may be different. In terms of "vox pop" support, though, I note that my post received several "likes" and yours did not attract...

Here we go…..no DL on rear.

There was an attempt to change things last year when the then plc chairman, Chris Gee, started posting on Facebook, providing information and answering questions. It was a breath of fresh air but it only lasted a few weeks until he resigned...

Thereby hangs the problem. Successful railways communicate well and encourage emotional investment. A multitude of benefits flow from this approach, from volunteering to financial support. People will put themselves out for a good cause. NYMR...

...... and in turn you miss the point completely. Ownership of the railway has never been an issue in the minds of most supporters (I use the word "most" because you at least seem to worry about it! ) but most of us use the term "our railway...

That’s a shame the communication couldn’t be maintained as engagement and transparency are useful tools, especially when for fundraising purposes. Away from the NYMR, the GWSR & SVR offer good examples of where this has contributed to successful...

The Lune Rivers Trust 26/9/26

Tangmere on the Lune Rivers Trust charter approaching Sherburn-in-Elmet. Running around six or so minutes early, and on double yellows so only coasting along, the 47 on the back was only ticking over. Only me out watching which is unusual for a...

I think the NYMR should be OK for 2027, larger loco-wise - assuming that the two black 5s, 92134, Repton and Omaha will all be available, and with 825 plus 63395 probably due back next year. Beyond then, what runs out of ticket? Perhaps most of...
