  1. Devonbelle vond 5944's post leuk in het topic Fire Risk.

    MSLR have been diesel only for a couple of weekends now, so you were lucky to get steam. 60007 has also lost several trips, and I can't see it working any of the Kingswear trips before it heads to the Moors in a little over a month's time. Even...

  2. Selsig reageerde op het topic Barnstaple and Yeo Valley Railway Trust - B&YVRT.

    I agree on the location, though I think it was relaid as 2' gauge several years before it ceased to be used, and I have a suspicion that 2' gauge track is still there. Google maps street view certainly seems to suggest so -...

  3. Selsig reageerde op het topic Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    Whilst this is the case, there is a large experience base of what oil firing works well on 2' gauge locomotives in the UK - for many years the Ffestiniog, Welsh Highland, Vale of Rheidol and Brecon Mountain railways were near exclusively oil...

  6. The Dainton Banker vond Jamessquared's post leuk in het topic Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    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...

  7. ross reageerde op het topic Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    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...

  8. The Dainton Banker vond Musket The Dog's post leuk in het topic Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    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...

  9. The Dainton Banker vond RailWest's post leuk in het topic 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...
