Andy Williams gefällt Sawdusts Beitrag in dem Thema North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
One thing that has changed since my time on trust board, as far as I'm aware, is regarding the plc board. The rule used to be that nobody that benefited financially from the railway was allowed any control, so no directors of either board could...

free2grice antwortete auf das Thema GCR Autumn Steam Gala - 1st-4th October 2026.
Oh dear, 'exclusive content'. For me, I work in a slightly different way. Just as an example, say that I wanted to visit a steam gala, I look at my diary but I see that there are two tempting galas on the same weekend. I check which visiting...

Romsey antwortete auf das Thema Fakeography.
At a recent slide show with real steam powered slides I heard two comments - "Good, no faked pictures" and "We'll get to see the whole show, there's not much for the gremlins to attack in a slide projector." The second one is interesting, are...

The difference is that it was you who did it. This is rather like claiming a new world marathon record by driving it in a car.,

They are longer, iirc 700ft instead of 400ft. The original platforms served the 'Coffeepot', a rail motor and a trailer. Our instructions were to build platforms long enough for 10 coaches And the toilets you'd need with that volume of people......

Sawdust gefällt 60044s Beitrag in dem Thema North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I think the general point I've been trying to make has been lost along the way in this discussion. If collective responsibility is the order of the day, I don't think there is much of an argument to say that the recent performance of both...

Romsey gefällt Jamessquareds Beitrag in dem Thema Fakeography.
The problem is you can no longer believe what you see. Which is particularly an issue if people are relying on photos as a source of historical truth. For example, taken at face value, @Johnb has changed a tour that happened during the day to one...

ragl gefällt LMS2968s Beitrag in dem Thema BR Double blastpipes.

I'd have to say I find the image impressive whatever the arguments. As a young chemist and photographer I had access to a wonderful book called 'Fortunes in Formulas', and limitless access to the works/laboratory chemical stores. I brewed my own...
