I wonder if Swanage long term are looking to have two steam services again?? If the long term view is that they dont, and they dont plan to have a another steam set of dinning in the day, then Swanage really dont need many steam locos at all....

The apple cart has been well and truly upset for some time, but it makes me think just how long has all this been going on? If you like, just how much money before all of this took place has been wasted that we don't know about?

I would imagine any future review of motive power requirements would see more Bulleids leaving the line. The smaller more economical locos are favoured. With the T3, return of the M7 soon, potentially the T9, and 31874 not too far off if they put...

It is all rather baffling. What concerns me here is that the non-disaffected (righteous?) Trustees appear to be playing fast and loose with monies with which they have been entrusted.

Well, 75 years later LSWR T3 makes its first runs as a complete locomotive on LSWR metals. A truly momentous day for all preservationists. Photo by Andrew PM Wright

I was of the opinion that due to the work done, to the block last time, the repair has sorted out this area, I would think, The NRM, would accept an new casting, as long as its a like for like, replacement of an life expired part, This engines...

RailWest liked Michael B's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
This talks about the £250,000 loan being agreed in 2020. I could not find it shown in the Trust's balance sheet at 31.12.2022 - it is not in debtors, so assumed it was made in 2023 at the time of purchase around March time. It has not been...

There is quite a few engines that the SR does not own, in need of overhauls, that the railway will have to consider does it need looking foreward, for instance, 31874, 31625, the boiler off 31806, has not even been touched as far as i can see,...

Also seen moving under it's own steam light engine on the 563 Group's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SRT563LG/ Further running-in light engine then, if no more 'snagging' required, it will no doubt go onto trial load hauling to see how...

banburysaint liked Kinghambranch's post in the thread GWSR... GWR 2-8-0 stronghold..
After a great deal of effort, not to mention funds, (!) 2807 passed her initial running test yesterday evening (see also post 63 above) which coincided with a heavy rain shower! Unfortunately I wasn't able to witness it but I understand that...
