I have a couple of questions about the restoration if anyone has the answers:

Will the whole of the Scenic Railway be disassembled before the new/restored structure starts to be erected? In other words will there be a time where there is nothing of the Scenic left standing?

Also, how much of the original structure will be used in the restored construction?

Many thanks in advance.

I think there had be a statement that the dismantling and re erecting will be done in sections.

I don't think much if any of the original materials are being reused.

If no original parts are going to be used when the scenic is up and running next year will the scenic still be classed as 95 years old ?

yes aka ship of Theseus (triggers broom)

I guess after the fire and years of it not being used it is what it is, the best that can be done. Im sure i read that the hill profiles have to be changed also to prevent carrage lift as it comes under new HSE guide lines?

The motors will be original, well refurbished from the ones that came out

A fair price to pay for retaining the brakeman

I disagree. The trough is more than deep enough to contain a train getting a little air time.
Solution: Take the inspector through under heavy brake.

The latest pictures showing the new timber going up are VERY exciting, has work also started on the trains yet?

The campaign's Facebook page has recently been updated with photos of the Scenic Railway works. Take a look at

Great pictures Dave , their work is out standing . All the years i have known the Scenic its never had such nice wood work. A nice touch would be to put the tunnel back and the Scenic Rly sign?

That would be great to see but that would be down to TDC as the client. Maybe an idea for the future.

Nice to see the Mechanics being delevered back, lovely green paintwork, Is that WGH's work?

I am totally new to this topic.
