    Want to work in the United States?

    It’s a genuine historic locomotive underneath the Thomas stuff. I suspect everything is essentially scaled up to be in proportion to US loading...

    Steam Locomotive Restoration of the Decade 2010-2019

    “Period of significance” is, I think, the term of art. For example I’d contend that, for Flying Scotsman, apple green with red nameplates (and if...

    Ebor Flyer - A1ST and Tornado: 14/04/18

    Last set of BR or older era boiler tubes?

    Looks to me as though it's phrased as "28,000,000' lbs" which would be foot-lbs, a unit of energy (38,000,000J). Energy would make more sense!

    De-streamlined A4's

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but on a Duchess, there's no 'running plate' per-se. Any access to anything on the boiler needs either a ladder or a...

    Locomotives recorded power.

    This is, of course, true of traditional sources too. I'm sure we've all read books on subjects that we were familiar with that were full of...

    Edward Thompson: Wartime C.M.E. Discussion
