Before leaving the train at Temple Meads.
Hopefully at least one or two of those elegant landmark cooling towers. We would miss them if they were all demolished.
I remember that. It was to advertise the brand of wallpaper paste. Seems to have been even more effective than expected! Was it Solvite? ( it was...
Yes thats right. Emptied the coffers to shore up the economy after we inevitably imported the ''death of capitalism '' from the USA. Remember the...
It does include a lot of recycled parts which is of course a genuine GWR tradition. Its better than entirely new build therefore.
I suppose it does depend on the type of vegetable oil used. Maybe a small dose of Castrol R would be some compensation for the absence of that...
I think l read that on the WSR they have been running a Class 14 on vegetable oil ?
Very happy with that outcome , l was unaware of that !
Given the circumstances of its thorough reworking, which l am completely in agreement with, maybe it should more correctly be called an Elliott P2 !
They do describe it as a Gresley P2 though when it clearly isn't. I think Sir Nigel would be unlikely to recognise any of the engineering as ' his ' !
Seeing that this ' 7027 ' is still thread drifting along in a kind of life after death fashion.. l just thought l would like to post an example of...
I think its a very useful service to the wider enthusiast community to clearly counter 'slack ' humour. I get a bit fed up with people who post...
Generally agree with that, but in taking on the unrestored Castle boiler that project not only saves about £500,000 on building a one off new item...
Just noticed this interesting comment, thread drift though it may be! If Didcot do not seem to have done anything to preclude main line use in...
I have checked back in to this thread after afew months just in case there are any new valuable insights or facts emerging. Sadly it is all more...
I actually hope we do not have any more new new builds in future. We seem to have more than can be funded already. Regarding GWR 4-6-0 's l have...
On the contrary, MellishR makes a very valid point. Finance is not easy to come by within a practical timescale. It never was and is getting...
Would you prefer ' Looky Likey ', l certainly would not. Its a very wòrthy project which l invested a considerable sum in ! It is a replica but...
I have already posted along those exact lines! I repeat ,Tornado is a magnificent replica, what's not to like ?
Sorry, l thought that was pretty obvious?
