    LMS Hughes Crab 42859

    I've no idea on the deal in question, but a deal where say a loco with a decent box but needing tyres and a general 10 year overhaul got re-tyred,...

    LMS Hughes Crab 42859

    As far as I can see, the railway presentation movement is currently more or less flat out to keep the current level of locos out across the...

    Class 66 anyone?

    Baby Deltics weren't their finest hour - I must admit I'd forgotten about them. Possibly their troubles were at least partially caused by the...

    Class 66 anyone?

    The interesting question (at least to my mind) is why English Electric got stuff pretty much right first time (20s, 37, 40s, and 55s all did...

    Foxfield Railway Diesel Gala - 5th & 6th May 2018

    It seems some of the poking about under the bonnet of Roman has paid off - it's made its first move under it's own power in ten years - see the...

    All diesel traction gone by 2040 ?

    I think some 1st gen diesels will probably be with us for some time to come - for RA5 routes there is virtually zero chance of a new class of...

    Premise: class 08 never built...

    On that loco, where they went wrong involves where the water tanks are! Ashing it out is not one of life's pleasures (and is almost impossibly...

    Isle Of Man Steam Railway

    There is more than one type of boiler being ordered, and I think delivery is spaced over the next 4 years or so. As I understand it they are...

    Bit modern that Tom, and the wheels are too big for shunting... If you want an engine that's a joy to crew and which knows exactly how to deal...

    Foxfield Railway Diesel Gala - 5th & 6th May 2018

    Possible, but not yet known I think. The railway currently has three "fully functional" diesels - Bagnall 3150 of 1959 "Wolstanton no3", a Thomas...

    Worth bearing in mind as well that BR already owned a moderate fleet of them, and found they were quite good for both shunting and some other duties!

    Maybe it's just me, but that sounds horrible on a shunting loco. Being able to sling the thing from full forward to full reverse in 2 seconds flat...
