Steve replied to the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
It would be a very brave move to abandon the core service in favour of the Thomas days. It should be possible to squeeze in some all-line services but I haven't yet sat down to convince myself that a workable T/T to and from Whitby is possible....

That, sadly, is a very good point !

Mark Thompson replied to the thread Rolling Stock For Sale.
Absolutely. And harks back to my well-worn trope about carriages being Cinderella's pumpkins, which carry every fare paying passenger to "The ball". If every punter could be transported, using a beautifully restored 19th or early 20th century...

35B liked blink bonny's post in the thread Flying Scotsman.
No, I spotted it, but I thought I'd have a bit more fun. :) I like the BR Blue, and it suits Tornado. It's also the livery 60163 would have been turned out in if it had been built by BR.

35B replied to the thread 6024 King Edward 1.
I didn't suggest that he is or was. But that does not explain why it proved necessary to redo so much work - or if the previous work was defective, would do so without requiring remediation by the 6024 Society.

There is also a culture where everyone likes the shiny engines but the coaches and especially the historic ones are just that bit more niche and harder to capture the imagination on .

smasher liked Johann Marsbar's post in the thread Rolling Stock For Sale.
Having seen what our 1922 Ransomes built bus body restoration is costing on a monthly basis to be done by a professional woodworker/restorer, I think that estimate is well on the low side. This is what £8K of seasoned wood looked like for the...

keith6233 liked GWR4707's post in the thread The 10A Allocation.
I know she is at Carnforth but has it ever been confirmed that she is a WCR/Mr Smith asset or just went there to be overhauled?

Might just be better to remove the diesel notes and say to view loco allocation within a week of travel, or something like that.

The 10% booking fee is included in the prices that I quoted (£21.45 for an adult & £24.75 for a child) and not additional. An adult Pickering -Levisham return is being advertised at £11.95 so that effectively means the Thomas event is seemingly...
