Reading through the CSR website I note that they don't provide a direct comparison between their torrified pellets and coal suitable for steam...
Ideally there will be four - ME, EoM, DLG & JSII. The boiler that was built for JSII should fit in the same space as a Hunslet boiler, and...
The Double Engines also have the advantage that because the fireboxes are located in the middle of the loco, going over the summit behind the...
1) One of the advantages of the Ffos-y-fran coal - it burns very cleanly. 2) Phase 5 appeal supporters train. 3) The Flying Bench is positively...
Actually it is. On the 'Fairatt' the boiler/cab/bunker/water tanks are all carried on one set of frames, with two power bogies beneath.
Slightly late reply, but James Evans has been trying to interest people in his proposals for new build steam for a while. I rather suspect it's...
I was there yesterday as well, have to say it was a thoroughly enjoyable day out: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] I have to admit I couldn't resist...
To be honest I doubt either the Llanberis or Bala Lake lines would really want it. The Blaenau to Bala line certainly isn't worth relaying from a...
Earlier in the thread the Bala Lake Railway was mentioned - the idea was to use the old Blaenau Ffestiniog to Bala standard gauge trackbed. The...
To be honest even if it were 'just' £500 to move LT I can think of hundreds of projects at the FR/WHR/WHHR that would be more beneficial, Russell...
Currently there are restrictions on certain locos and stock, but I can't remember exactly where and what (I haven't got my rule book to hand at...
I did have in the back of my mind an idea that a WHR carriage had been taken up the FR for gauging trials, but couldn't remember the outcome....
Bear in mind the current bridge at Rhiw Plas gives more clearance than the original (according to Festipedia the old Rhiw Plas bridge, along with...
It's not a case of just dropping the floor level in Rhiw Plas and Garnedd. To get a Garratt to Blaenau you need to: • Widen the formation (move a...
Enlarging Garnedd Tunnel wouldn't be much use by itself. Plenty of other parts of the FR are nearly as tight for clearance as Garnedd. With the...
Further to my last message, after looking at pictures of 109's current boiler it would appear to have been modified in a similar fashion to boiler...
I'd guess they will aim for the same engineering standards, but will leave the fixtures and fittings as they are now. 109 is very similar already...
There would be if 130 was a 1958/68 batch machine - however like 87 130 would have to be regarded as non-standard. There are just too many detail...
Only for the 1958 batch though. There are several hundred more that are specific to the 1936, 39, 51 & 68 batches. If I remember correctly the...
Unfortunately spare bogies would not be universal - 1951/58/68 bogies are slightly different to previous builds, in terms of lubrication and pivot...
