Just a question.
 
Can I just ask as a guide, who would like to help?

By the way, if you wish to view some of the locomotives in mind then please visit: www.prestonservices.co.uk
Look at steam engines and railway locomotives.
Please note that these are only some of those in mind.
Also look at this: www.alankeef.co.uk
There are others that i can give the names of if asked.

Something I forgot, the line passes over the entrance to the Disley tunnel on the line to buxton. This would be a good site for a view point and visitor centre.

I found this on the net.

http://www.marple-uk.com/railways/c05_01.htm

Is this the line you mean ?

Your right!
 
yes this is exactly the same line, the section we want to use is between Marple and Bollington.
It is about 9 miles in length.
:)

Ah there is something I forgot to mention, I shall soon be walking the whole length of the line to look at things like how structures are holding out against time, also part of the family is in insurance so it will not be too difficult to calculate.
Remember, all this is making our case stronger so if you can, help out by researching anything we may have missed. Thankyou.
Oh and we do not yet have a website. We should have one in a month or two.

Passenger coaches.
 
We know that Alan Keef ltd makes good coaches and locos and we are probably going to use them. Is there anywhere else that we can purchase these items from?
Anyway, on the 17th I am having a meeting with my co founder Lord Milett.
Does anyone want anything to be brought up at this meeting?

Is that significant ? That is in the "Derailed" section as a whole you realise ?

Yes I realise that, I just thought I would mention it.
