It works fine with Safari.

Very impressive work, and very nice presentation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
