    Eh? I'm not arguing with the magazine report, I'm agreeing with the technical analysis others have made vis bearing/driving wheels differential on permitted max mph. As you said David Smith says 4767 can go faster because it has rollers and...

    Cant think that the use of roller bearings has ever been a factor in setting mainline loco speed limits. Some dispensation would need to be sought for a Black 5 to run at 75mph, but perhaps because of a proposed alteration to balancing or perhaps...

    Delighted to see this. It is produced by our own @Breva who does such a sterling job blogging for the GWSR which, in turn, has generated much support for the Broadway extension and rebuild.

    Really looking forward to this event. The goods train is mentioned on the day sheet for the event which is now available on the website. The day sheet also mentions that brake van rides are available but there are no details of when or where you...

    This weekend is the Retro Wheels & Rails event. Amid all the other things happening, the goods set will be out Saturday only behind 41312 (though for some reason this hasn't been deemed worthy of inclusion on the event page). Wagon-related...
