Not black, I wouldn't have thought!
Boilers that fit between the frames have to be lifted. There's no other way of inspecting them.
LPG, propane, butane etc. - they are all fossil fuels! Possibly better than coal but not by much.
One solution, for preserved lines, would be to use wood. Harvesting would have to be done sustainably though, with harvesting rates equaling...
But CCS is not used to extract carbon from the atmosphere. Given the low concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, it wouldn't be cost or energy...
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a way of reducing carbon emissions, which could be key to helping to tackle global warming. It’s a three-step...
So electricity generated from wind and solar, for example, is more expensive to generate than that from a coal-powered power station? The current...
You would categorise Steam Railway content as journalism?
But where did Steam Railway get their "information" from? Mr Croucher/4709 Group have some questions to answer; they've certainly issued some very...
The plan to use the Castle boiler on the 47xx was nothing to do with getting in and out of Didcot. That was one of the lies used to justify buying...

Well there were nearly 170,000 Merlins made. There are a few companies in the UK that overhaul Merlins (amongst other aircraft engines):...
No more than any other steam locomotive. They did last until almost the end of steam. The GWS nearly bought one from Kings scrapyard in Norwich...
The three locomotives in question had been around for about 40 to 50 years without any purchasers!
Nine original, although two are composites made of two or more original aircraft and five replicas.
Not any more!
Wikipedia lists only two replicas at Hendon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aircraft_at_the_Royal_Air_Force_Museum_London both WW1...
Strictly, it's not a rebuild. It would have been a completely new airframe, probably built by Airframe Assemblies on the IOW....
Correction: "whilst an castle boiler might be very similar, to the number 7, no 47 ran with a number 8 boiler."
Examples? 48518 - the firebox for 1014, the boiler barrel to another 8F. 7927 - the frames for 1014, the boiler for 6880. 5227 - axleboxes to...
