Sheff liked The Green Howards's post in the thread Tornado.
I have sometimes wondered if that was counterproductive - that indeed it made the P2 look more finished than it actually was which may have impacted upon fundraising.

Steve liked 21B's post in the thread Doors and Droplights.
I think that provided that there are no restrictive structures and the line side is maintained the risk is low until the person gets to their waist. I am not a guard, but I have twice halted my train and walked back to have a few choice words...

You often hear and see things written in the railway press regarding the losses being incurred by a number of heritage railways, some of these reaching the hundreds of thousands of pounds mark which is quite frightening really, and it isn't of...

Oswald T Wistle liked MellishR's post in the thread WCR 2024 Railtours.
AFAIK the valves for all three cylinders are driven from a single shaft, so would a stretched chain not affect them all in the same way?

That is wonderful news, as far as I'm concerned Marcia is as much a part of the K&ESR as anything that 'The Colonel' was invoved in, and has spent 60 per cent of 'Her' life under K&ESR auspices.

I suspect that the fact Tangmere is pretty much the only loco able to run out of Carnforth at the moment has a lot do with it. Further investigation implies time & that is something 34067 and her hectic schedule have little of..

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...

That climb was memorable with 11 on that would not normally be allowed to go to Dorchester with a Class 7 unassisted. But the diesel failed, Pete Roberts was driving and Tangmere was in good nick so the rest, as they say, is history. If I recall...
