Suggest you get hold of the attached paper, which should be free if you are in the IMechE. Otherwise it will be £30+ I imagine from Sage.
Mach loco with standard lamp irons? ;) What are the extra ones on the smokebox door for? In the attached image, 82034 has probably not been at...
In case you are interested. [ATTACH]
Reading Bulleid's paper to the IMechE, the decision was basically made because he wanted to use a pressure of 280psi and copper was not considered...
Sounds like the 3801 saga.
There may be a precedent for quite a lot of different styles. Here is 764 (and 763?) in an undated image at Gwalior station. [ATTACH]
OK, thanks, got it. It seems to be getting more attractive.
Perhaps you misunderstand my question. I was enquiring where your figure of £32.50 comes from. It seemed a possibility that you were factoring in...

You seem very bullish on the Welsh market. The chairman's column in the latest TR News commenting on the season to date seems to be saying much...
Thanks, very interesting. There are also some other very interesting images in the reports albeit somewhat small, such as the image of the...
Thanks, that is interesting, I wonder how much that is costing? (There is an update at...
Thanks. That sort of suggests that the monel stays (or perhaps the copper plate around the holes) wears fairly quickly and there was a general...
Thank you, interesting. I noticed the references to copper stays. I thought all Standards had monel stays. Perhaps some were built with copper or...
The coupling rod bushes and knuckle-joint pins had to be replaced on the 1954 tests due to wear. The report states that the original bushes were...
BR testing was done in 1954. Test reports in general were more aimed at operating the locos within likely service parameters rather than...
Interesting discussion. There are certainly plenty of things about Caprotti gear which I do not understand but among rotary cam poppet valves,...
Thank you, that is helpful.
Thank you. What do you think the reason was for excluding the L&B from the grouping was? Were perhaps negotiations with the LSWR well underway?
Can you expand on that rather off the wall comment? The L&BR was dissolved under the Southern Railway Act of 1923 (Clause 60, Clauses 60-67 are...
