Unless you count the Dukedog, which was a maintenance cost saving exercise rather than a design one, the GWR built no more 4-4-0s after the...
Or a modification of Tom's idea for the financially challenged line: get out an angle grinder and cut a big notch - or series of notches getting...
First the original post and now the photo have disappeared from Facebook, and I haven't been able to find another image of the damage with a quick...
When teaching sailing I regularly point out that if you stop a foot too far away from a jetty all that happens is embarrassment, whereas...

Photo from Fbook should be on this thread. https://www.national-preservation.com/threads/4555-damage-at-south-devon.1421011/ . It does not look...
This has surfaced on the dreaded Facebook. There are videos of her in service on May 2nd, so presumably happened later that day or since. [The...
Hudswell Clarke Website? Where is that, not obvious to me with a web search.
I guess it all depends on the economics. In an ideal world I suppose every time a part got taken off you'd get it laser scanned so that you'd have...
Superficially, I suppose, the intelligent observer is aware that colour reproduction of 50 and 75 year old images is so unreliable as to be pretty...
The thing about GW locos all looking the same is really a rather silly saying, if you consider say a 15xx pannier, a Dukedog 4-4-0, a 14/48xx...
By the 1930s the GWR worked on a basis of empty weight, so (for example) 10 Bulldog 4-4-0s = 7 Hall 4-6-0s. The numbers get even more complicated...
There's an awful lot more what if about this than the LNER comparison though. The complication, it seems to me, is the light pacifics. You can...
Well that depends. On the GWR prep was a piece work task. So reducing prep time made no difference to the bottom line unless the locomotive...
I'm not entirely sure what bring back to life means, but I doubt people are going to abandon their screens and go back to socialising in public,...
That's maybe a little overstated. I'm no kind of expert on this sort of detail, but according to my limited understanding there's nothing...
As indeed their grand fathers or great grandfathers had to create those towns and villages in the first place.
I'm not sure why oil leaking from the oil seals round the axle wouldn't end up on the wheels too. I'm also having trouble visualising there being...
I wonder if people should consider whether the sort of criticism, verging at the least on personal abuse, seen on this thread is more likely to...
Aren't rules about rest periods and the like intended to protect the passengers at least as much as the staff?
