Hang on - I thought you were the great advocate for heritage trains on the NYMR. An electric autocar and trailer at Goathland doesn't get more...
It is a beautifully evocative record of the West Highland at the end of the steam era. By the summer of 1962 steam had all but finished up there...
It might well do but cannot find the photograph at present. Anyone with access to a copy of the Railway Magazine of maybe August or September 1955...
Bryan I think that you can be quite certain that 41313 did visit 75F during the two occasions that it was allocated to Central Section depots. It...
Oh Dear - what have I started? Firstly I am not against oil firing as such and like @MrDibbs I'll look forward to the training and "having a go...
Oh Well, that explains why I'm becoming more out of the loop than ever. I understand that this wonderful new communication tool, unique to the...
Where is the announcement of visiting locos Steve? I was only firing there two days last week and I've heard nothing about such visits. It is a...
An excellent choice of loco as 41313 has an unusual connection to the line. On Saturday 28th May 1955 its working diagram included a trip over the...
You are assuming that all criticism is coming from a reactionary volunteer old guard who are stuck in a time warp, thus making it easy for you to...
I wonder how many volunteers like me just never fill in these satisfaction surveys - I cant believe I'm alone in filing them in the bin. The...
V2 10/74 is Holgate but leaving rather than approaching York. An interesting picture of 60800 in view of its later preservation appearences on...
Sometimes you get a tender full of this already mixed in with the coal:eek: - just hope that it didn't cost more than the unadulterated coal you...
Not quite true, Ralph. You need the diesel on the back to provide ETH to the train to both warm the stock thruogh and ensure that all the...
I suspect that @Steve was referring to Corbyn and not climate scientists talking twaddle. Peter
Look this is getting a bit silly don't you think? How can any stock be permitted to run in a train faster than the traction unit hauling it? In...
What, with a bag like that? Your imagination is more vivid than mine John Peter
That to me says that you are not allowed to exceed the lowest permissable speed of any vehicle in the train which in the case of steam is likely...
Why? My point is that it does not matter what speed path you give a steam train its accelerating charastics are dire in comparison to virtually...
That sounds awfully like a Nat Pres urban myth to me. I have never heard of Mark 1s being limited to 75 mph specifically behind steam. They are...
Come on - think about it. The only way that a steam loco running at 90 mph is going to be of any benefit/compatability with the modern railway is...
