The Duke took 10 last November. The only issue with an S&C return would be Wilpshire Bank, especially the tunnel. Everything on their tour page indicates this will run the same as the previous runs, regardless of the lack of Upperby LE paths...

Wait till ECJS RTO is finished- it will be fully compatible with the other teak carriages and could be run in conjunction with Gresley RB which has a decent-sized kitchen, to provide a dining service on teak specials! Not so much capacity (I...

Johnb liked GWRman's post in the thread 6024 King Edward 1.
Aside from 6024's physical late BR condition, the livery - as stunning as it may look - has innacuracies all over the place. The shade of green is indeed incorrect (looks more like an early BR shade as used on 5043), the buffer beam number font...

How do you intend operating the Pullmans, then? If you are wanting to serve food you need a kitchen car and you also need Jenny and therer's only one of those. If you put a pullman coach in each train you lose the ability to run dining trains...

Just wondering why you have suggested running the Teaks from Grosmont? I would have thought it far beter to run them from Pickering given that they can't run from the other main starting point of Whitby. The idea of combining the diner and the...

Despite having decided to become more actively involved with the KWVR I do find myself continuing to come back to NYMR concerns and over recent days I think posts have largely been of a positive nature and most welsome. The principle dissenting...

What interests me about this model is how transferable it is. Setting aside the obvious differences in managing steaming on narrow and standard gauge, I’m left wondering how staffing is managed given the remote location. I suspect there are many...

Another railway I support is the Strathspey. A very different railway again, but one that has walked a financial tightrope - is in a high tourist area and runs through a national park. Helped recently by a significant donation that has eased...

The latest Ffestiniog magazine paints a very rosey economic picture, but also one that has taken a lot of hard work to achieve. They got a lot of stick for going for an 'Experience' model, but the reality is they now sell a similar product at...

This is the best news for the mainline steam scene for a number of years. Lets hope a line can be drawn now and Carnforth gets back to doing what it does best. I for one will be having another look at RTC and West Coast Tours for next year.

Agreed, but I do see my points as positive suggestions in that all three either release much needed capital or dramatically cut costs. As I made clear the forward-thinking nature of the other suggestions is welcome and the lack of dissent from...
