Unlined black was the norm for USA tanks. but in 1963, some were painted into lined green. 30064 and (I think) 30072 were among their number and...
There's also the 2MT 84030 project (using 78059 as a "donor loco") and arguably, the retro-rebuild of 35011.
The MHR did a lot to lift a lot of people's spirits in 2020 in various ways. Personally, I must say that the Autumn Steam Gala was one of the...
I hope Matt Hancock doesn't read Nat Pres. I fear that if he sees a post like this, it might give him ideas!
Well, the Mid Hants will be the place to visit in a couple of years' time. OK, it's a Urie rather than a Maunsell loco, but the plan is to restore...
By 1959, all but three (30835/6/7, which were allocated to Redhill) were shedded on the SWD. The Bluebell's (30)847 was also based at Redhill at a...

I think your question will result in all manner of people coming up with their pet WIBN projects. A second A3, V2, Star or Dean Goods would all...
For those of us who would regard the Southern and its constituents as our favourite railway, in the next few years, we should have three...
