On reading this the expression "dog with a bone....." comes to mind. Do you have any evidence for your assertions?
A question that no-one seems to be asking is, if all the new-builds that are intended to go main-line actually reach the point of doing so, and...
Yes, terribly sad news that will take a lot of coming to terms with and recovering from. There are some fulsome tributes out there but they only...
There must surely be a straightforward answer to this question, depending on the size of the inspection covers - adjust the sleeper spacing to...
That looks to be an unusual way of carrying out a washout.......
This seems to be a reasonable pair of choices, but you haven't made it clear which option is being followed! IMHO, both paths have their...
I don't think the GCR used air brakes, so I wonder if the reference is to vacuum tanks? For my part I looked at the ceiling lights in the...
Spoilsport - some of us haven't received our copy yet!
Fair points, but when it comes to quite a few items costs are likely to be the same for a new build as they would be for a repair. I'd be...

I went by train, but unless you get a very early Eurostar it's a 2day journey each way - very pleasant, though. I stayed at the Altora Hotel in...
Was hopng for SLR85 or Joan being started soon, but it doesn't sound like it, which is a shame.
So, now that 699 is done, what will be next into the works?
So you would be committing them to the pointless purchase of a loco that they don't want or need, fundraising for its restoration, finding the...
Am I the only person thinking that this thread has reached a state of spiraling downwards into absurdity? Time to call it a day and get on with...
But they are ahead of any potential 7027 restoration group in the queue to make use of the boiler, possession being 9/10 etc. (Assuming that they...
A meaning less question, imho. The only locos that could be recreated from A4 parts are other LNER pacifics and if that was desirable there's...
Intriguing, so what has happened to Pendennis Castle and Drysllwyn Castle, both of which were of the same class as Thornbury Castle, last time I...
