silversteellady liked Old Kent Biker's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

silversteellady liked RailWest's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

silversteellady liked class8mikado's post in the thread The 10A Allocation.

Likewise. When the maximum operating speed for preserved steam on the main line was introduced, no mention was made of roller bearings versus plain bearings. Wheel diameter was the only factor (I'm sure) that was used, as it has a bearing (pun...

Because it has roller bearings and not plain bearings and is therefore a 75 loco

silversteellady liked Mick45305's post in the thread The 10A Allocation.
45305 did initially return to the mainline in 2005, mostly on runs by VT but then had the rough shunt at Loughborough the following year. It was 2010 when it re-entered service.

silversteellady liked gwilialan's post in the thread Bala lake Railway..
The Gwili had similar restrictions for extending to Abergwili. Because it was nearer Carmarthen than Bronwydd, Abergwili came under he town emissions standards rather than the countryside. If I remember correctly loco loiter time is restricted...
