Ah, much appreciated, thank you. Nice to know it's still "in the system", it's a great looking loco.
Hello all, I remember, from almost yearly visits to the Glasgow Museum of Transport, that there was a fireless locomotive on display, from what I...
Cheers, much appreciated.
On the Caledonian Railway (Brechin), there are 3 Austerities stored at Bridge of Dun station, two of which have their boilers in place. I believe...
I too am a member of the bluebell, although it's not exactly "local" to me. If they feel that it doesn't fit in due to its industrial heritage,...
Well, the whole locomotive's at the Rutland Railway Museum now, if I remember. I think there was something in the past year or so that mentioned...
Just a quick question about the Bluebell's elusive Avonside. There are very few photos of it on the web, and from the ones I can find, it appears...
Thank you very much for the pictures, and apologies for my blunt analysis. I have a computer and a fascination with S15s, but I don't have a very...
The bluebell's 847 and the ERPS' 828 are the only two S15s not involved in this boiler swap-shop. 2/7. Not bad.
Correct. Meanwhile, the urie society's third boiler has "sauntered up" from portland, to replace 499's one, even though both are ex-barry and the...
You know what I mean. :P
This thread was inspired by that update. The urie society nicked 825's boiler at barry, because 506's firebox had a badly corroded top. Therefore,...
That seems to be what everyone's thinking, but surely the most economic thing to do then would be to strip all the useful parts off it and then...
Are there any plans for this locomotive, or will it just either stay as a set of frames forever or be broken up someday? It's sad to think it's...
Thanks. I've finally got a clear picture of everything that was in there! Amazing workshop, with the mix of new builds, overhauls and long term...
Ah! That makes sense. The rear bunker/cab assembly looks rather similar when you're standing on the other side of the works. There were some...
It mildly resembled a small prairie, I might have been a bit too quick off the block with that one. It was in the same road as 5532 and 5539, I...
I visited the Llangollen Railway earlier today, and I was fortunate enough to meet a very nice chap who took me and a couple of relatives around...
