I would suggest for the most part, you should politely reject such requests. Just because a heritage site exists doesn't mean that it is duty-bound to accept anything that is offered. That is, incidentally, the context of my point about a...

First off, oil-burning locomotives do not remove the risk of lineside fire- as has been found in Colorado. Oil burners can, and regularly do, chuck lumps of unburnt carbon out the chimney, hot enough that they ignite on meeting oxygen. Oil firing...

Would it be worth repeating (again?) the potential for anyone with internet access to view the statements in this forum and use them against the railway, without any context of the surrounding discussion? Especially at a time when the railway is...

The Dainton Banker a plăcut postul lui RailWest în subiectul Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
IMHO one of the key problems with the L&BRT for a long time has been the lack of formal, agreed policies on many aspects of the restoration and operation. Even the current 'business strategy' to some extent is very high-level and does not get...

I think we're aligned - the key point for me being that the policy needs to define the preferred outcome, rather than leave the question open "because pragmatism"

I was explicitly writing in the context of a "one railway" solution, i.e. what you might need to operate the current railway, or any extension of that railway that is feasible within the lifetime of such a policy. If a "two railway" operation was...

I'm sure you could nuance the numbers if you spent a sensible amount of time considering a policy rather than 10 minutes off the top of my head like I did! But that doesn't change the overall thrust of the argument, and I doubt the numbers are...

In choice terms, the policy proposed is consistent with the sort of approach you've advocated for NYMR, in which preference is given to "authentic" locomotives rather than requiring strict local heritage compliance. As an ordinary member, I...

Which takes us to the age old question of whether it's hp or TE that matters for running a railway. I'd tend to go with hp as a better measure of operational performance rather than outright pulling power. All of which is taken care of in...
