    Nice to see the Chairman breaking the merry-go-round of well-intentioned but ineffective amateurs of recent years, bringing in some heavyweight...

    I should imagine it will be quite a relief for the WSRA to have received your resignation! Maybe you will now stop banging on about how useless...

    The same might be asked of 9351 and 44422. Both long-term WSR locos in the ‘core’ stable which have been sat at Minehead out of service for longer...

    Yes those successful fundraising appeals were run through the WSRA so my point is, if it works for wagons, why not locos? What’s the difference?...

    And another thing! Isn’t there a good parallel with the wagon group here? The wagon group is (or was - haven’t seen much activity lately) quite...

    It is clear from the earlier post by @aldfort that 4110 Ltd have been supported and kept in the loop by the WSRA all along. It is also clear from...
