I assume that journey didn't involve pinning down brakes on the wagons for the descent, going by the relative weights and your not mentioning it....
Not in the same way. The problem is the cylinder diameter, a 240P had approx 25.6" diameter inside cylinders, which means that the distance...
I take it you're not very keen on 45379 then?
I'll risk his legion of copyright lawyers, on behalf of forum members who may not have a copy just lying about: "I liked the arrangement for...
The odd thing about the Drummond/Stirling reverser question is that Holcroft, who could be expected to be familiar with the SECR pattern, was very...
I'm not convinced an increase in boiler pressure is required to make more modern ancillaries work. I've followed Andy Chapman's blog regarding...
Indeed, which leads to the question of how much you worry about exact authenticity in the internal detail. For Beachy Head there are some (one?)...
Something like this, perhaps? I know that availability of information on the internet is by no means indicative of how much is in the archives...
This reply shouldn't be treated as coming from any authority, because I'm not, but whenever I've seen it out the MHR demonstration freight has...
I suggest Rail Blue as per the the Vale of Rheidol tanks in the '70s, with a double arrow on the tender. The rebuilds were originally projected...
I agree that story doesn't really ring true, since from the GA of the D15 what they would actually have seen was the S-bend in the exhaust...
Ah, somebody else remembers the Goss story. I also recall that Bulleid was slightly surprised to find that the results he got from the Goss...
Funnily enough, I'd have cited the King Arthur as the prime example of Maunsell not being too proud to take ideas from elsewhere. The SR needed...
Can somebody with knowledge of the log clarify, when Rous-Martens refers to five successive quarter miles, does that mean over 1.25 miles total...
As usual, @Steve covers it succinctly and I'm going to waffle on. Steel is a lovely forgiving material, that if well protected and moderately...
I believe when the rebuilt Bulleids first emerged there was some concern that the very long smokebox would make it awkward to shovel out ash, but...
I don't have the time right now to find out how to do either of the latter, but I can give you an idea of the weights. D.L. Bradley is your...
Oh, I wouldn't deny it could be done (although I'm imagining the exhaust beat from your hypothetical design there and I think it might be...
There certainly are valid engineering reasons why you might choose not to design a 3 cylinder engine with a larger middle cylinder; if you get the...
Depends how you raise the power output, I would argue. While I haven't run numbers, I think the higher boiler pressure (and in preservation main...
