Thanks Ron, great videos. The weather was really foul on the Friday! CG
My understanding from various Facebook posts is that the loco was built by Mitsubishi in Japan in 1972, has a Cummins engine developing 520 bhp...
I noticed NGG13 Garratt No.82 was mentioned in the newsletter - I don't think it featured in the official museum list previously. CG
What would one sensibly expect to pay for an Austerity sized loco in good working order and with several years on its boiler ticket, if one came...
How does the Welsh language handle the universal concept of "Sod's Law"? :) Cyfraith Sod?
I represent the owners of a Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0ST in the UK. We're seeking to replace the cast iron chimney casting on our locomotive, and if...
Does anyone know the current status of Pete Waterman's NGG16 Garratt No.109?
On the s.g. Austerity I'm involved with, the valves don't feather as such, but you know when they're about to go off as there's a tell-tale...
Thanks guys, very helpful!
Does anyone know if Hallett Steam Oils are still in business? Their website seems to be completely non-functional.
This page does not exist! Can't see the link.
This photo from the internet gives some idea of the construction of a Class 91 bogie. The frame is arched between the wheelsets and the traction...
The Russian loco wouldn't represent much of an improvement on a Funkey anyway, at 400 versus 335 b.h.p. Even the SAR Class 91s only represent...
I'm afraid you'll have to fantasize on...... the Class 91s are huge, much larger than the NGG16s they replaced in SA. As I understand it the...
The Ff&WHR Trust still aspires to provide two new higher powered diesels through the pages of its Diamond Jubilee Appeal - see...
Or indeed 146 which is also in the collection (120 is privately owned I gather) C
I think the main problem as far as designing a new loco for the Ff&WHR is concerned, is the lack of space for a final drive between the wheel...
There are fewer differences between the NGG13s and NGG16s than you might think. True, there are differences in boiler mountings, steam manifold...
The Class 91s weren't convertible to 2' gauge, it was actually the other way round. They could be fitted with 3'6" gauge bogies and run over the...
I'm pretty sure the Luttermollers would be very slow due to their gearing, and their water and coal capacities too small for this long and arduous...
