Oswald T Wistle replied to the thread Northern Belle 2024.
Apologies for continuing the "Great Tangmere Timing Debate" I was watching this video on You Tube (Stephen Brass). Well worth a watch in its own right, but if you slow the speed down to x0.25, from around 1:40 you can see that on a regular...

Well, its Sunday again, so it must be time once again for my ramblings on what the hardy souls of the Saturday Gang managed to achieve, or not.... atop the hill yesterday...... :eek::rolleyes::):) Depending on which weather forecast you saw on...

Johnme101 liked Britfoamer's post in the thread GWSR Cotswold Festival of Steam 25th-27th May 2024.
A little late, carried on further south for a few weeks holiday, so first chance I've had to put some shots up. Wonderful time, 3 days running around with rover tickets , trying to achieve haulage by every loco and combinations. Thanks to all for...

Johnb liked Big Al's post in the thread Northern Belle 2024.
So true and at least Tangmere looks respectable when out and about. And as you imply, it's one of few locos that can haul such trains. Given that there is nobody with engineering expertise at 10A commenting on here we don't actually know why they...

Groks212 replied to the thread Tornado.
I have been going through my Mikado Messenger emails and the only update I found was in this years February issue which said: "Similarly, boiler work is continuing in Meiningen under the supervision of TUV, the German certification body, and we...

Big Al replied to the thread Bulleid Pacifics - Past or Present.
As a non-engineer I can't add much to the above except to agree with the sentiments. It's definitely true that the setting as shown on the steam reverser has always been seen as, shall we say, indicative! In practice, an experienced Southern...

35B replied to the thread Doors and Droplights.
A simple notice gives a clear instruction. The confusion, IMHO, is where either the notices are not simple (see the RAIB report on Balham, or a number of RAIB reports on crossing incidents), or where the operator is held responsible for the...
