I have seen haycock fires on ex GW engines when invited onto the footplate at Leamington General in the 60's and a bit before, the fire seemed to...
Some interesting thoughts here. The 71000 cam box issue has been brought up here OK so what if a walshaerts loco breaks a significant part of it's...
If it's a public footpath you have every right to be there but not to wander all over the field. We had this problem years ago most people keep to...
Very much enjoyed thanks Phil, the slip was a worry for a moment, the conditions didn't look too good. Cheers Dave
I can fully understand this farmers viewpoint, what arrogance to wander about on a farmers land without permission. In the same situation I would...
Didn't when I was on it, left it all to 7325, I should think most of |Bristol heard the mogul that night. Cheers Dave
The 47xx if finished won't do what two black 5's will do because in all probability it won't fit. GWR outside cylinder locos are having more...
I seem to remember being told that in the days of steam heat the train tail pipe needed to be left partially open for the steam heat to work...
James whils't I understand your feelings about this person, wishing he would fall and impale himself does you no credit at all. Cheers Dave
