    Given good rail conditions, Repton will drag 7 up the hill to Goathland in both directions. However, any reduction in adhesive ratio becomes a problem. In theory, you need 13,538 lbf darawbar pull to drag 7 full coaches up the 1 in 49 and 6,648...

    Cannon axleboxes are on order for the coupled wheels as well. We have 2D drawings for the internal components, we now need to fit them into the 3D model and do a tolerance check. Once the axleboxes have been cast and proof machined, they will...

    Well done for making the effort Nige, and showing the rest of us what we've missed!

    Not a day for any exhaust, but a couple of shots from the Aire Valley, south of Skipton, just for the record. By the time the train passed it was over 25 degrees. I hope the aircon in the MkIIs is working!...

    I'm reliably told by a friend in the area that the King is out on a turning manoeuvre at the moment, and is booked on a Chester test run tomorrow.

    Sort of, as it was created by predictive text. Definitely guilty as charged though! The disconcerting issue for me are the three typical responses to corrections.. "Does it matter?" "Language evolves" "Don't be such a Grammar N**i" In other...

    Sorry @Drewry Car but this did make me chuckle. And yes, as a professional writer*, I've been hoist by my own petard in that manner many times ;) One only has to take a cursory glance at the BBC news and sport web sites (two words) to see how...

    Dying indeed, if the distinction between its and it's is so completely lost- or are you blaming that on AI?

    So pleased to hear that you are to retain the swing out seats, so much a feature of colonial narrow gauge railways. One of the most surreal "footplate rides" I ever had was on a railtour in Pakistan in 1990. Sitting on said seat, swung out,...

    Miff is entirely correct. I'm Maddie, I am currently responsible for looking after 120. It is most likely to steam next, although as you would imagine it is a slow process. 120 is in good condition with a recent works visit in South Africa...

  15. Sheff liked meeee's post in the thread FR & WHR & WHHR News.

    All of the NGG16s have run previously including most of the bits of 140. They have also had most of the South African beaten out of them over the years so aside from the inevitable boiler work they are in reasonable shape. 133 is essentially an...
