Thanks for that Chris. Technically 672 is out next year, but its considered to be a little dubious in the firebox department, so may not last that...
Its worth pointing out though that 2473 and 178 are on the way towards being in service. 2473 will effectively replace the O1, and 178 will...
Obviously you know very little about the Bluebell and its history. The 73 is totally unauthentic for the railway, as is the 08. Only one diesel...
You don't think that she might have bought it for herself, ie a night off from cooking? Daniel
Where does this 2.5% figure come from? If 524 loads left the site, at 15 cubic metres a load, thats 7860 cubic metres, or about 5.75% of the...
1) has got to be a toss up between 45407 and 76079 2) 46115- just look at the reaction to the Carnforth open day etc 3) 9017 Earl Of Berkley,...
What happened to the sale agreement for 830, that said she was to be restored as herself? Pity if the Essex Loco Group are going to butcher all...
Can someone please explain why this isn't allowed anymore? If you can run air, vacuum and water hoses between the engine and tender, running an...
Oh man, that leaves all people restoring Barry wrecks with a problem, they can't fit bits because they haven't got them! Its only vacuum brake...
For the fire issue, its worth having a look at http://www.semgonline.com/steam/blp50.html That should explain a few things, certainly better...
I would say that as it has to be loaded onto a low loader to get it off the Great Central, then it will stay on the truck all the way to York....
Ok, thanks for that guys. It seems that marine practice (which I am used to) is a bit different from railway practice. We generally wouldn't...
I've been looking at pictures of various locomotive cabs, and I've noticed something that I hadn't come across on a boiler before. Some of the...
Thanks for your comprehensive answer Matt. Please keep up the good work, its nice to see another LBSCR branch in use. Hopefully, in the fullness...
I've been looking at the various pictures of Eridge, and the work on the extension and have to say well done guy, it looks great. Eridge will...
Thank you Baldric. I did wonder if I was confusing hoses. I've obviously looked at too many 'mixed traffic' pacifics of the Southern Region, which...
Thanks for those interesting pictures. Does Tornado have no vacuum brakes, or am I confusing the hoses on the front of the loco? It looks to me...
I'd like to see a complete double track Gloucester and Warwickshire Railway from Honeyborne Junction to Cheltenham. Honeybourne would also be home...
Would have preferred to have seen her in LMS black, but the locomotive does look magnificent. Congrates to the Carnforth team for doing what the...
With the price of scrap metal rising so fast, 35009 will be worth far more than the price of a house soon. I'm not in anyway suggesting it should...
