This is Pete Johnson's account of a trip on the "bank loco" to London. Seems a bit easier than having to fill a Duchess' box.[ATTACH]
I hope you don't mind but I have taken the liberty of using your image to have a play with the Colorize filter in the new Photoshop 2021 which I...
Thank you.
What does it say on the Hawkseye?
? 40659 was a Crewe North loco, tfrd to Watford in 1959 and withdrawn from there. Pete Johnson in his memoirs mentions they had 2Ps at Crewe North...
Not sure I agree with that. If the tourist is already in Wales, it is likely that Carrog is nearer than Llangollen (as I think I have done for...
Thank you for that link. It is interesting to see the radial trailing axlebox assembly. It would also be interesting to know what fettling was...
Likely to be repayment of the interest free Director's loan referred to on p4 in line 3 of the review of business. However, although whoever wrote...
Thanks for the pics. I suspect the bit disappearing into the mist leads up to Aran Benllyn, Fawddwy being on the ridge beyond. I see there is a...
Are you looking for steel or brass GKN Nettlefolds?
Thanks. I wonder if the tender body in this drawing is based on the original 567 MS&L tender? It has rivets in places and at pitch centres that...
Thanks. Are you going to use an "MS&L" tender or the later Robinson type? I see that larger Robinson tenders at least had countersunk rivet heads....
Thx. Presumably on the original the rivets secured angle irons for the coal plate, surge plates, front bulkhead etc. Are these still fitted with...
Thanks. Shows the problem to be overcome to put in (or reinstate?) a loop.
Thank you. That makes sense. Presumably these trucks were not fitted with side bearing pads like the 8F truck? (where the tendency to oscillate...
Thank you. Apologies for being thick but when you say fore and aft movement, what movement is this, as the central sliding block is presumably a...
Thanks. Re the September update and the image of the upturned front truck frame(2nd image down), what are the longitudinal springs (I think there...
Albeit made by somebody called "Timpkin" according to Rail Mail.:eek:
Although it is a complicated subject, I don't think it is correct to say that 3 cylinder locos do not have hammer blow, rather that balancing the...
42797 possibly passing Millhouses shed, but the LNER loco looks like a D49 which would be an exotic visitor.
