    Realise a proposed British steam engine

    Unless you count the Dukedog, which was a maintenance cost saving exercise rather than a design one, the GWR built no more 4-4-0s after the...

    4555 Damage at South Devon?

    Or a modification of Tom's idea for the financially challenged line: get out an angle grinder and cut a big notch - or series of notches getting...

    4555 Damage at South Devon?

    First the original post and now the photo have disappeared from Facebook, and I haven't been able to find another image of the damage with a quick...

    4555 Damage at South Devon?

    When teaching sailing I regularly point out that if you stop a foot too far away from a jetty all that happens is embarrassment, whereas...

    East Somerset Railway

    Photo from Fbook should be on this thread. https://www.national-preservation.com/threads/4555-damage-at-south-devon.1421011/ . It does not look...

    4555 Damage at South Devon?

    This has surfaced on the dreaded Facebook. There are videos of her in service on May 2nd, so presumably happened later that day or since. [The...

    Hudswell Clarke Website? Where is that, not obvious to me with a web search.

    GWR 813 Failure

    I guess it all depends on the economics. In an ideal world I suppose every time a part got taken off you'd get it laser scanned so that you'd have...

    2999: Lady of Legend

    Superficially, I suppose, the intelligent observer is aware that colour reproduction of 50 and 75 year old images is so unreliable as to be pretty...

    2999: Lady of Legend

    The thing about GW locos all looking the same is really a rather silly saying, if you consider say a 15xx pannier, a Dukedog 4-4-0, a 14/48xx...

    Bulleid Pacifics - Past or Present

    By the 1930s the GWR worked on a basis of empty weight, so (for example) 10 Bulldog 4-4-0s = 7 Hall 4-6-0s. The numbers get even more complicated...

    Bulleid Pacifics - Past or Present

    There's an awful lot more what if about this than the LNER comparison though. The complication, it seems to me, is the light pacifics. You can...

    Bulleid Pacifics - Past or Present

    Well that depends. On the GWR prep was a piece work task. So reducing prep time made no difference to the bottom line unless the locomotive...

    Marples and Beeching

    As indeed their grand fathers or great grandfathers had to create those towns and villages in the first place.
