    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...

    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.

  13. silversteellady 支持 gwilialan 在 Bala lake Railway. 内发表的帖子.

    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...
