Re: Toad brake van from NYMR

I'm looking at possible sources of grant for saving the NER body mentioned earlier in the thread, but even if that is successful it is unlikely to go to the NYMR in the short term and so could be made available for use as a temporary store or similar in return for the promise of some TLC, if we are...

Re: Work in Progress

I don't see why. Some time ago, you asked me how I would progress your project, as I was having some sport about tunnel re - boring schemes, and the like.

Re: Toad brake van from NYMR

Re: Toad brake van from NYMR

Most of the weight of any brake van, is the concrete floor! There's not much in the way of steel there.

Re: Where should we distribute leaflets?

Two thoughts: 1. Surely where you display your leaflets, should depend on who you are trying to reach with them? As should the content of them. 2. Aren't leaflets a bit "old hat" these days? You seem to be doing pretty well at getting coverage in the local press, enthusiast press, on local...
