  1. Sulzerman liked Steve's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    I’m not certain that this it quite correct although I agree with the essence of what you’re saying. The condition of the bridge was known and I understand from a good source that a plan was in place to effect repairs last winter, drawn up in...

    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...

    Fly tippers seem to go to massive lengths to avoid spending a few minutes effort or a few quid to dispose of things properly...

    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...

  6. Fireline replied to the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.

    Restoring 4253 has cost something in the region of £300k. If you figure the same amount to restore 80100, then having it for 6 years, that would amount to the equivalent of £50k a year in steaming fees. I am not sure of the current rate of...

    I've travelled across that connection so this trip is definitely not unique. "Little used" would be more appropriate.

  10. Buckeye liked SECR 65's post in 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...
