[steam for ever]

After we have been given permission we will apply for a heritage lottery grant.
Remember that we will be (like any other railway) raising a campaign for funds.

On the point of locoal residents, we know they are for it after their gallant effort to save the line which failed and their equal effort to save Bollington viaduct which succeeded.
We will not be taking up much room as a narrow gauge railway on an old standard gauge double track alignment so walkers and cyclists have not got much to worry about.
Take a look at the gallery of the avon valley railway and on this forums gallery for evidence that it can work.

As I have said there will be a meeting for people with concerns and queries in the not too distant future to explain what is going on and what can be done to sove any problems.
We have no intention of moving the path along the line so we are trying to please both sides.
Again with the nature walk we will try to do as much work as possible with volunteer labour from the local community and perhaps try to get schools involved.

We are trying to created a few jobs as well and we hope to unite the community.
Hope this helped a bit.
If I have missed anything out then please ask for info.

As has been said by other members, locos will be brought in from private owners and if neccessary we will fabricate our own stock with the joiners we have readily available.


In the future we hope to get our own loco, but untill then we will invite anyone who has a loco to make a home at our line.
Lawyers are something that is being discussed at the moment so info on this is limeted.

Thanks for the q's
It helps us keep on our toes!
