My understanding is that tapered boilers are used to reduce the volume of water at the smokebox end of the boiler on account of the cooling of the...
To be honest, digital black and white doesn't even come close to the proper stuff. That is a good pic though.
If the rods are on the rotating mass is, pretty much, as it would be in service, so they could tow it with no speed restriction.
The attitude is one of collect, collect, collect. There's always something else that needs "saving", so nothing to put into what's required to...
They've collected alot more. Garratt 6042 is still in a paddock outside the town of Forbes in the central west of NSW. They are still not (and in...
Still no biggy. Might be a tad uncomfortable, but not beyond the capabilities of a competent driver.
Left and right hand drive isn't an issue, I drive both over here and have never had a problem. As for lubrication, they've all got the same gear...
I think common sense has to prevail. Class based instruction is simply not needed on steam locomotives. It's required for diesel and electrics use...
According to the NSWRTM's E news, nothing overly spectacular. Just more progress.
Have you read what the A1 trust have said. The loco has done over 60 steaming cycles (basically from cold to in steam) since it's been built. To...

I've been thinking about this whole tresspassing photographers issue a bit and was wondering wether any of the affected railways have thought...
It's probably getting away from the topic, but that attitude really frustrates me, and I think misses the point of preservation. I would have...
NSW would be the best for main line steam. There are regular steam hauled tours out of Sydney and also local main line running out of Canberra....
I do, believe me. I did however misinterpret your post a bit.
While you are right about Newtons law, I don't believe you have fully understood it. The forces (energy contained in the steam) are normally...
What you say is true, but only to a point. It is important to remember that what is required for mainline running is often very different to that...
Easy. With the cocks open drain the glass, then close the drain. As long as water returns to the original level quickly and remains stable all is...
Just thought of another one, though I can't vouch for it's accuracy as I wasn't there. Apparently when Flying Scotsman was over here in 1988/89...
I did a engine and van job from Canberra to Queanbeyan (5 miles) to turn both the engine and van on the turntable, we had trouble with a set of...
