Visited on 2 August to find that a 60 yard extension in field 3 towards Wetwang had been handed over by the P W Dept on 29 July. This is now incorporated into the journey which remains at about 15 minutes including access to a siding. The working...

Thanks Mark. Perhaps we ought to call that type 4 sub-base (the black material) 'finishing sub-base' - as there is lots of traditional stone below that along with a sheet of Terram under that? Kind regards Mike Hart

As I said, Steve, we don't know why but it was a common comment from several drivers, and these were BR men and not from preservation. It applied to all the class and not just 2968; they said the same about the Horwich Crabs too. Remember that...

We don't know why but it is; the older SVR drivers who worked both it and Black Five 5110 will tell you the same. Both these engines worked eight-coach trains southbound over the Central Wales line and the difference in speed is notable; 2968's...

Rail Ranger ответил(а) в теме The Dinting Railway Centre.

I would not disagree with any of what you have said on a general basis. However, on the matter of 'facts' and 'assumptions' it remains the case that there are a number of unanswered questions to which the answers appear not to be contained in...
