Sure 242A1 will answer in due course but i think the suggestion will be along the lines of a whole steam circuit approach, but not necessarily GPCS.
Indeed, and in spite of this they are very capable locomotives with impressive steam output - the potential to retain or improve this performance...
I like big butts...., erm Tenders , and I cannot lie...
Interested as to what Rapley Giesl lampor is. Since Lempor is is an abbreviation of Lemaitre-Porta its difficult to see how thats on the same...
Quite like the goods yard one as well...
The only thing better than a Black 5... is Two black 5s
Another factor perhaps being that at 4p there its mainline capabilities are limited in other areas. IIRC the ' Night Owl' are going for a new...
A thought on tenders; with all the development gone into turning the Duke into a decent, and presumably much more efficient, performer is 10...
You would expect that something designed for a road vehicle would stay put, and the thing coming off would be more hazardous to cars. However the...
Not too sure im overly fussed about the Duke logo thing. Think there was some worry about some kind of copyright issue with the BR logo but thats...

Exactly.
If what you are starting with is extruded or drawn already then i guess it depends how 'carefully' you machine it ? if it can be machined to the...
A good point, would it be less harmfull to bore big holes in them... whilst they have the wheels in CAD it might be a project to explore the...
Liked that and it gets you thinking about stuff; is a synthetic rather than a metal construction be the answer to keeping the sump tight, could...
No thats not what im saying, as i understand it rolling steel is done in relatively high qties (relative to the needs of this project or even the...
How does GCRN operate its trains at the moment, does it propel in and out onto the GCR mainline and then run round at the other end ? or is it a 3...
Can see that machining a spring out of a cylinder would not have the correct properties even if you could get a cylinder made out of spring...
Take it that the design of the Royal Scot Bogie (Derby ?) and the way the springs interact with it is very similar to the standard pacifics
