    BR steam liveries

    A repaint wasn't necessarily part of a Heavy General overhaul, especially by 1964, and if the paint was in decent condition, patch painting was...

    P2 Locomotive Company and related matters

    'Look like' the original, but the colour doesn't contribute to this?

    I almost hate to say this, Mr Williams, but this time I agree with you!

    Current and Proposed New-Builds

    I have had this conversation, although not in that detail, for some time with Hermod, who believes that the centre bearing added noting to the...

    It didn't stop the LNWR and LMS using them on fourteen coach trains out of Euston, though!

    P2 Locomotive Company and related matters

    You should have tried being a mechanic at an FSO (formerly Polski-Fiat) garage! Before that I was at a Skoda dealers, but they were the old...

    LMS Patriot Project Updates

    As far as I know, the outside cranks were always at 120 degrees but the inside one might vary depending on the angle of the cylinder centre line,...

    LMS Patriot Project Updates

    Garratts - Why Not Cab Forward

    Stopping again was always the problem, even more than getting them moving. If you exploded three shots you had, at best, three-quarters of a mile...

    Garratts - Why Not Cab Forward

    What's the thing in L&YR livery ahead of it? I didn't know they worked that far south.

    Garratts - Why Not Cab Forward

    Stop and Pin Down was common on severe gradients, but these tend to be short with the levers lifted at the bottom. In the Peaks to Manchester...

    Garratts - Why Not Cab Forward

    Indeed. Twelve wheels braked instead of twenty-four. Unfortunately, or possibly not, the driver's comments on reaching Manchester are not recorded.

    Garratts - Why Not Cab Forward

    Probably not melted, but it did need reblocking at Manchester, and they didn't do it again! There is a photo of 4999 on the train. It was taken...

    Which is why most banking duties were done with the chimney at the uphill end and why the Garratt arrived at Bromsgrove that way around. There...

    Garratts - Why Not Cab Forward

    So did an LMS version, 4999, as a test. It failed with a hot box at Leicester and had to come off, and it was never tried again.

    It isn't the same thing: the guard - or shunter - would be on the ground in a siding but I don't think he would be when buffering up a banking...

    I'm not totally certain of this, but my understanding is that the wheels were pressed on to the axles without the key being in position, and it...
