Title: Heritage and attraction posts - geographically how wide should we go
Post by: grahame on July 06, 2023, 12:01:45
Our Heritage railway lines, Railtours, other rail based attractions board is not specific in saying where (in the world)

As I posted up (yet another) Irish thread, I found myself what members think of the geographic range for heritage and attraction posts.  As I don't know, I'm asking!   Do you want to read about the White Pass and Yukon?  The Brokken? Irish pedal rail?  Leadhills and Wanlockhead?  Mangapps Farm?

I voted for "British isles" but would add the caveat that posts about more distant attractions could be included if exceptionally important/interesting.

South West England and South Wales   - 0 (0%)

No real doubt - anything British Isles is fair game.   So if I get to Listowel or Ballybunion I can tell you about it.

Repeated several times ... so I'm inclined to think that the Cass Scenic Railroad (https://mountainrailwv.com/tour/shay-2/) can be included but probably not the Seminole Gulf Railway (https://semgulf.com).  Cass, of course, is particularly inclined!
