In a sense Martin, there are no other locos of a similar power rating. I suspect the Atlantic is our only Class 3 engine, it slips between the...
Agreeing with Tom's comments, they are splendid locos. The only fault is that they perpetuated Ivatt's bunker door design (who probably got it...
What happened today, anyone?
Only just seen this thread but @The Gricing Owl the 01 is substituting for Archie today (and most likely tomorrow). Archie has to cool down before...
Out of interest @The Gricing Owl I was cleaning Camelot that morning and we were all chuckling because the driver was going to run with his own...
Oxted or Lingfield signaller I think, or the panel if it's gone into TBROC already? Yes there is a procedure for contacting them before going...
There is an existing design for ETCS equipment, we just need to work out how to fit that! It gives far more info than basic signalling including...
I did read somewhere online of a steam loco that has been fitted with a deadman's pedal type device which applied the brakes and used a servo to...
This is old news, in that ETCS has become the future standard for mainline railway signalling in the UK. It is already on the Cambrian (in an...
If Marty McFly got in the Delorean today, he wouldn't go as far back as that picture...
Today's update, there are some bluebells around but not the full spread we usually see, perhaps the rain next week might move it along?
Interesting from that piece in The Locomotive that the loco had six positions of forward gear, assuming these were in the range of 25-75% cut-off,...
Do you close them at the end of each day?
That has backhead clacks with shutoff valves similar to the hunslets austerity...does anyone know why you would have them (the shutoffs) on a loco...
Wow, what a steal...and although strictly within the letter of the law someone using that 200 times to visit a volunteer supported charity wants...
For the layman here, are we saying that the £50 ticket allowed you to return for free once, or for unlimited times?
I'm not sure we should view fifty weekends a year as realistic for most people in 2025....
No need to extend the headshunt, last time we had an overlength engine, tender ivatt 46447, it ran doubleheaded, and the other loco took the train...
An amazing window into the sheer cost of doing this in 2024!
Little longer to wait for the direct comparison!
