Ok let me get this right???????? first off you say you want to run a line with preserved steam an diesel loco's, but don't want to tread on the toes of The East Lanc's Railway but have you asked anyone there what they say about you building a Preserved line i think not. Also you say your lines going to run steam an diesel but how do you intend to do this when British Standard Guage is 4'8" an you plan to lay track at 2' guage. If the old formation is twin track why not lay standard guage you plans are all "pie in the sky". An as a gesture to you an you how much are you setting aside for your GRAND viaduct why not just do what is cheeper an build a lovely smooth new grey Concrete bridge it'll look just right an save you shed loads of cash, an are you going to get people to build this railway that know what they are doing or are you going to have persons to help who no nothing about how to build an run a railway.
