4-8-0s were built in Great Britain - but only for use overseas. Here is a picture (from an old calendar) of one built by Vulcan Foundry (near...
I think it is ex-Turkish No 45160, and never in fact worked for either LMS or BR. So any British livery is arguably fake. There was an actual...
The S160 has a fixed coupled wheelbase of only 15ft 6in, which is less than that of many 6-coupled types.
No - A German Class 44 3-cylinder 2-10-0 with its divided drive arrangement. The inside cylinder is higher and inclined, driving the second...
I believe that crank axle is from a Class 44 2-10-0. With more than 2000 built, this was the world's most numerous class of 3-cylinder...
Thanks to moderators for merging the duplicate threads on East Somerset Railway.
There is the project to recreate a LNWR George V 4-4-0, which appears to be proceeding but very slowly. There was also a project to recreate a D16...
A number of new photos can now be found here, showing 6880 on the WSR: http://www.wsr.org.uk/
Interpretation of annual accounts tends to call for more business and accounting knowledge than I possess, plus an ability to see through whatever...
There was a Claud Hamilton project web-site, but it is now a blank page. A facebook page remains, but its last entries were in 2019. The Nat...
Possibly. But Raven was 63 years old at the time of Grouping, so would probably not have been a long-term appointment on the LNER. The much...
Many thanks for letting us know that the guest engines were also going to run on some normal service days. I wasn't able to attend the gala, but...
I may be unable to attend the weekend gala, so visited the GWSR on Tuesday in the hope of seeing the guest engines. They were all in the yard at...
Thanks for publishing this item on the GNR 0-4-2 mixed traffic engines. The 0-4-2 arrangement was popular in mid-19th Century Scotland for both...
According to David Jenkinson ("British Rly Carriages of 20th Century"), several hundred monocoque or "all-steel" carriages were built in 1926-7 by...
The majority of the Peppercorn A2s were based in Scotland. A 1955 allocation list shows 11 of them (out of 15 total) at Edinburgh, Dundee &...
The Liberation engines may have been designed to fit within the French loading gauge, which has a height of just over 14ft - rather less than the...
Surprised to hear that the KWVR tried to acquire a Liberation 2-8-0. Given that the engines were built to Continental loading gauge, I suspect...
I'm unsure about the crest. Looking at the Midland-era photos within the @neildimmer site and elsewhere, it looks as if some freight engines had...
Since writing the above, I have found a further source - "Midland Steam" by WA Tuplin - which says that the Midland goods livery changed from red...
