This bemuses me. If the difference between max and minimum is greater on a two cylinder type, how come the minimum power on a 3 is smaller than...
I am definitely not a legal authority, so judge reliability of this comment appropriately. I very much doubt someone *claiming* compensation...
I leave the colour change for the keen student!
No, next time round they should turn it into a pannier tank... [ATTACH]
Its easier to have no dialogue at all than it is to control one. I imagine that's why a sizeable percentage of locomotive owners keep quiet about...
If everyone has fulfilled their contractual obligations, and there seems to be precisely zero evidence that they haven't, why shouldn't it leave...
Cook, the Swindon works manager and CME would have said there were plenty of advances, but they were mostly about improved reliability, time...
They don't. Which was why Didcot management were so [redacted] off when the 4709 project presented them with a fait accompli. Personally, but...
This one would expect all that to be defined in a contract, maybe with termination clauses. It seems to be spectacularly unlikely that the MHR...
Individuals with sufficiently deep pockets make better custodians than institutions without. See Steam Tug Reliant. Auxiliary Schooner De Wadden...
Maybe a bit strong. Its been said all design is at the mercy of the junior draughtsman. It was certainly Gresley's responsibility if his...
As long as its sitting in the shed no great harm will come to it. The problems would come if the space is wanted for something else. We never do...
On the subject of who gets royalties, ISTR that when Holcroft demonstrated his original conjugated gear model to Churchward (who had GWR staff...
That's something that's changed over time. In the 19th and early 20thC it seems to have been common practice that the individual held the patent,...
Gentlemen, please...
Would Gresley have been paid for the patent on his employer's line? Holcroft certainly assisted Gresley (to say the least). I'm quite sure you...
It's a little sidelight on design influences as we were talking about above... According to Cook, Collett got the idea of introducing felt pad...
I do have the feeling that if the LNER had designed a better big end then the conjugated gear wouldn't have had nearly such a shaky reputation.
If only that were true.
I don't think it pays to be too dogmatic about this came from here, that came from there. Every designer is dealing with the same laws of physics....
