You get good machine shop rates. About 5 years ago I was talking to one of our regular suppliers, who while talking about the savings in time...
I would guess the bean cans are there to stop water and/or crud getting into the slidebar oilers. Whether there is some feature of 52322 that...
Edit because originally I thought you just meant the combined steam valves, but see what you mean, not just the dual steam valve clack assy. So I...
They used to have a lovely 15" gauge version of it, since moved on.
I'm fairly sure the only MN that has previously operated in preservation which is not at present operational would be Port Line. 35006 and 35018...
Not much French in the engineering of the 141R, an American product in their boilers and mechanicals. I guess 1332 had the cast steel bed of the...
The fireboxes of the Bulleid light pacifics are fully welded platework, but with screwed stays. MNs have welded inner and outer fireboxes but a...
The curve-shyness may be in the throw of the trailing truck? If you assume that the GWR kept to their usual principles of standardisation and put...
When Wadebridge was making some rather syncopated beats a few years ago I seem to recall the culprit was wear in the 3:8 rocking lever pivots,...
I have a suggestion regarding the "mirrored 05s" wind tunnel test. Could they have been looking to quantify the significance of the floor/ground...
That's an interesting one. I wonder if the wing on the Typhoon also suffered from this erroneous advice...
Without wishing to get all philosophical about it, when it comes down to it the boundary between accept and reject is always infinitesimal. Oh...
Interesting theory, but I'm not convinced. If, as I assume to be the case, you're suggesting whipping of the conjugated gear as creating an...
I think my question to that would be whether all the data presented by your derivations from the dyno roll is internally consistent with the rest...
I am always wary of estimated and extrapolated values for ihp; however when actual indicator diagrams are involved they're handy in this context,...
Both low frequency systems though (25 Hz for the LBSC system, I believe). The useful thing with the German 16 2/3 Hz is that it allowed the use of...
Yes, there's some A4 to it in the shape of the boiler casing and valances, and in more than just sense of it being a streamlined locomotive at a...
I'm not sure this really explains the influence of this on Chapelon, though?
If we are discussing influence, and this is far from primary evidence in the sense you think of it, but closer to locomotive archaeology, what are...
It is noticeable that in Chapelon’s book, while the Gresley Pacifics get a write-up proportionate to that of all the other classes he covers in...
