MellishR replied to the thread Bulleid Pacifics - Past or Present.
Several recent videos have shown Tangmere's exhaust sounding very uneven. I'm aware of criticisms of the steam reverser on an unrebuilt Bulleid, but wouldn't that result in the wrong cutoff on all three cylinders rather than the very uneven valve...

That accusation rings very true for some organisations discussed on here, but it is not clear to me how the way the A1 Trust has been run recently is in anyone's interests. What could the present trustees be getting from it that would motivate...
