The KSE lot haven’t sat idol these months past, one signal box just simply won’t do - The brickwork has been rising out of the ground, rails for the lead-out benches and servicing runs have been placed, not an easy task lugging those with...

It’s been a few months since the last update, with the running season going on this isn’t unexpected, but no news is good news in this case so here’s some tidbits- The remaining columns for the up platform and miscellaneous have been delivered...

Christopher125 liked waterbucket's post in the thread Bridge that Gap: Great Central Railway News.
I completely agree with @pmh_74. We are from the same organisation and have interacted frequently with each other when on duty and otherwise. I have also read and agree with many of @jnc's points (in particular to the NYMR's thread) but I'm sorry...

Dunfanaghy Road liked Chris86's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
That's absolutely lovely. It's also exactly the sort of thing that demonstrates how crap and lazy current graphic design and AI produced colour schemes and liveries are.

The Dainton Banker liked Steve's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
If realistic figures are put into the equation, the results are realistic. An industrial 0-6-0 is going to command £500/day and should be looking for 100 days/year. That’s £50k/year or £500k for the mythical 10 year ticket. A medium size ex BR...

The Dainton Banker liked Kirk Oswald's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
As posted last week I am one such individual and had arranged to bequeath a significant sum. Certainly I belong to JNC's "good money after bad" definition together with the belief that unless there is a change of approach any bequest would be...

The Dainton Banker liked flying scotsman123's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I suppose the distinction to be made is between expecting everything including once in a generation bridge renewals to be covered from the fare box - extremely unrealistic I would say - and having a rough idea of what your extra average income...

Wonderful, It will be a good exercise in infrastructure reconstruction and getting volunteers into the track laying swing of things, they will be able to perfect concrete post production too!.

The Dainton Banker liked pmh_74's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
To be honest I'm not so sure about locomotive overhauls. If there is an exceptional unexpected cost (such as a loco smashing its cylinders or something) then yes, possibly. And likewise for a first restoration, of a newly acquired machine,...

FearOfManchester liked Old Kent Biker's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
I would say an appeal for £150,000 and a project to relay half a mile of track at Snapper, plus the launch of the website, and an announcement of the membership scheme was all fairly big news. There was mention of a few very close pending...

The Dainton Banker liked ghost's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
The first is perhaps an answer that would be given to someone enquiring about the AGM of Big Company PLC. The second is an answer given to someone enquiring about a heritage railway that is not only reliant on a group of volunteers giving up...
