It steamed on a candle Peter, for sure, a fireman's dream. A joy on the other side of the footplate too, I passed out for driving on it in fact though my first rostered driving turn after that was actually on 45407, dressed as 45157, because the...

Here's a picture of the start of that day during the Sunday morning tea stop at Levisham. With the diner being out on the Saturday night we had to wait while Levisham box was switched in while taking the light engine through to Pickering. There...

What I meant really Steve was that the Railway has acquired Black 5s, sometimes through benefaction. Clearly there are more 5s than 8fs and I don't think a complete ex BR 8f has ever actually come on the market. That said, there has been several...

42765 may waddle but it couldn't half steam:). I had a very memorable day on it on a three tripper firing to John Fletcher when it visited all those years ago. Looking at those big cylinders I thought that I might struggle to keep up with Fletch...

The reason Black 5's are more popular than 8F's is probably quite simply because the Railway has always had them 'on the books' with 44767, 44806, 45212 & 45428 being long term residents over the years. 8F' have only ever visited for galas or...

In the war my Father travelled over the Wolds to Bridlington behind a D49. He told me the train was 17 vehicles (not all bogie coaches). He told me that at some of the stations he wondered if they would ever get going again. Sent from my...

Er..... please get the facts right, Tom. The D49 Shires were on the drawing board by 1926 with the first entering service in 1927. That was about the time that Maunsell was looking for ideas for a powerful 3 cylinder 4-4-0 loco and it is fairly...

23T 11C for the front bogie, 21T 5C for leading drivers, 20T 15C for rear drivers.

According to Wiki (and to save me doing better research at this time of night) the D49’s had a total adhesive weight of 42 tons, the same as the Schools.

D49’s were indeed regular performers. The big difference was that the maximum load without assistance was five coaches and that included B1’s and Black 5’s. Most trains would be less than that.

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...

Do you mean 'Americanization'?

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...
