  1. Dunfanaghy Road liked 21B's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.

    That is not the question. In my experience the question tends to be how much effort does it take to keep a Bulleid able to do the work compared to other types. The Jarvis rebuilds are tons better in this regard. The originals are difficult to...

  2. acorb liked Jonnie's post in the thread Spa Valley Railway - Latest News.

    I tend to keep my emails fairly formal so that they're clear and easy for everyone to understand. The Instagram and TikTok content is much closer to how I am as a person day-to-day. It's definitely not an act! In our accounts, turnover is split...

    Hello everyone, It has been a while since the last finance update, and the hot summer has impacted every heritage railway and tourist attraction that I have spoken to. So, how are we performing? So far this year, we have carried 21,717...

    I think it is more a question of one trailer, rather than one each for engine and tender A very sensible move. That leads me on to another question of any other variations possible of hire locos with already available tenders. Would we see...

  11. Bob Millard liked MellishR's post in the thread Pendon Museum.

    The only post I can find mentioning Pendon is in a thread from 2009 https://www.national-preservation.com/posts/293588/ so I'm starting a new one. Pendon is not only, or even mainly, a model railway. It's model of a stretch of the Vale of White...
