Interestingly I looked up the section on brakes in the Black Book. The text refers to a "vacuum pump" and there is a figure caption to a drawing in which the caption is labelled "vacuum pump" (agreeing with the text) but in which the component in...

So is it a vacuum pump, or is it an air pump? Is it a railway station or is it a train station? In both situations we all know what people are talking about and as far as I can see both terms are correct in their respective situations. On the...

always good to see the spirit of goodwill to fellow human beings is in full effect on Nat Pres ..... Whether right or wrong it has always been a crosshead vacuum pump to me , an air pump is a westinghouse

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...

I'm no expert on the detail but I think one of the Jacobite Guards worked that route on 'our' GB only last month. (another was onboard too)

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...

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...

In another life before TV fame ! For no other reason than I took this almost 42 years ago to the day on 26/5/84 (some here may find that week/end familiar). 37025 approaching the last token exchange at Lentran before arriving at Inverness with a...

Well thanks for making the train crew's life even more difficult than it already is. If for some unlikely reason the ORR have not already seen this they will have now and the Guard and Train Manager will be called to account for not policeing the...

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...
