Well, the auction has now finished, with some healthy bidding on most lots. All the Mk1 carriages made over £30k each, and ADRC96781 closed at a hammer price of £26500 which with 16% buyer's premium plus 20% VAT makes the total £36888. The Plasser 12t crane closed at a hammer price of £24000 which w...

I am sure that many members of the BDCA and other visitors to this forum will be aware of the catastrophic financial problems faced by the Llangollen Railway at the moment, and will, I am equally sure, like me have their fingers crossed that a way forward which allows the railway to survive as a goi...

Welcome Gordon! I had heard about the sale of the crane and it is excellent news that you intend to restore it to working order. You will find that although this is one of the most specialised railway forums and far from the most active, there is a considerable pool of talent and experience accessib...

I don't have an Ipad so can't try anything using an Apple OS, but I have just added the feeds to an Android mobile device using a feed reader called "Aggregator", and can confirm that it works correctly. I imagine that there must be a feed reader available from the Apple Store which would ...

I have recently been at the receiving end of some questions relating to the RSS Feeds "sidebar" which appears on the Gallery pages, the behaviour of which has changed of late with the latest generation of web browsers. I have no idea how many people subscribe to the Gallery RSS Feeds (and ...
