    Steam speed records including City of Truro and Mallard

    Exactly and if you ask the right people you will get a list of Bulleids attaining 100+ up to 106 mph.

    I disagree. Nobody is doubting the 1938 data. We are simply re-examining it to discover that given what was available at the time, the claim is...

    I am sure that @S.A.C. Martin will answer that question himself if he thinks it is necessary or has the time to bother. My view is that it's a...

    Bluebell Railway Giants of Steam 11th-13th October 2024

    I presume that the non stop run helps make the timetable work better. I don't see the point of it otherwise as the tablet exchange means it's a...

    LE movements, ECS and test runs 2024

    Isn't part of the recertification for the ML a detailed electronic analysis of the dimension of the loco. A scan, so to speak? And that is needed...

    LE movements, ECS and test runs 2024

    For access reasons platforms are moving as close as modern trains allow and the height is sometimes also being tweaked. That does rather...

    Of course not. Once the loco and load are known it's not rocket science to work out what will happen. All the recent CDL business has done is make...

    Saphos 2024

    Fascinating to compare two Bulleid Class 7s with similar loads on the same climb.

    Well, it's a valid point of view but to be honest there's no way that Tangmere could have lugged the train and diesel around and also make up...
