Works fine with Firefox 29.0.1 on a Mac... provided... you temporarily enable issuu.com (I have NoScript running which makes it a cinch to 'temporarily enable' things like this). |

Having toured Boston Lodge in 2011, I can attest to their remarkable capacity to make the impossible possible. The infrastructure appears from the Nineteenth Century but the results are amazing. Ira Schreiber |

My God, have you seen what they've been up to with the Welsh Highlands Railway? The professional coach rebuilds are the tip of the iceberg. http://www.whrsoc.org.uk/WHRProject/ They relaid a 25 mile narrow gage line to be heritage railway, that was already adjacent to another. Even built a crosstown connector that would make West Lafayette jealous. Oh, and there's a diamond crossing between a 56.5“ britrail mainline and 24” line. Also, the scheming and politics makes us all look like a bunch of amateurs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_High ... estoration |

Anyone know who got the Carrabasset parlor car (found on page 17)? It doesn't list a buyer and appears to be sitting right in Porthmadog. Could it be a Ffestiniog addition? If so, interesting choice. |

If so, interesting choice. That's simply remarkable. It's obviously a copy of the SR&RL 'Rangeley' (now at the Maine Narrow Gauge Museum). Could it perhaps have been for the Brecon Mountain Railway? They already have a replica of an SR&RL 556-558 series caboose, and are supposed to be building replicas of SR&RL engines 10 and 24. -Philip Marshall |

This item was commissioned for a private owner and to the best of my knowledge is at the "Beeches Light Railway", which is a short line on private property with occasional open days. The owner has a Darjeeling tank. A google search will turn up pictures. tim |
