This farily making progress! Well done to all involved!
Boiler due in APril according to TCC in tornado thread. Exciting! Im guessing here that they have gone with the same design as the A1 then, with...
Did they not ask for water jacket thickness changes? If so, why? Have you a reason, other than dropping or residuals, for the box being out of square?
Dropped? That is unlikely. Its more likely that the box being out of square is due to the welding / repair situation. We know a fully welded box...
Flow area?
T1 is quoted at 64,643 lbf and BB at 135,375 lbf on wiki. A4 is 35000 ish isnt it?
The Tay Bridge situation of only working there to Ferryhill is odd to me, im guessing part of that was the constraints on MPDs in and around...
Appreciated. Im going in to this cold. What is the design they are proceeding with and why is it flawless?
A scale model will need to account for scale wear and tear. Its imperitive to understand the forces and stresses on the individual components. As...
Typically this is done with heat, and the steel is at the correct condition & material specification before its pressed. There are also rules on...
Expense I can believe. If one has a decent radial drill or similar in house, outsourcing such a large part to a 3rd party will always feel more...
Please might someone correct me if im wrong, but have we recently moved in to an era of fabricated tube plates, as opposed to pressed ones? This...
Easily fixed by positioning some small springs to counter the gravity effect, holding the shoes in the "normal" position and not letting them sag...
Woah whats going on there, is that some sort of conjugated brake link?! Did not notice these had that before! Very neat! Does this mean each...
Is that like an ATM Machine :p sorry, im being pedantic! Would do what I could to help where I can between whats already going on :)
They may be caulked but with the load of a plate with pressure behind it, and the thermal loads also, i would be amazed if the nut imparted zero...
Glad you agree on the FEA. :) If the tools exist, why not use them...? I suppose you could weld in a backing/doubler plate to guard against this,...
What I would very strongly suggest to the Clan team is to spend the money and do a full FEA of the firebox, with different staying and wrapper...
I seem to recall picking up a rumour at Strathspey last year, or whenever that was, that FS wouldnt do any more mainline running, hence the...
12 months?! Im counting since 1998, how many failures have we seen on any of Rileys black 5s? I cant think of one...
