Thanks Chris, I'll look forward to hearing the results of your exploration. Unfortunately, I've got my teeth into this now. Here is the Google...
Chris, The map dates from 1948, so it would show the track that was extant at the time. Ilvaporista, I wasn't sure from your post whether the...
I followed the link from "Collection X" onto this thread. I'm just wondering if the J-shaped track to the west of Loxhill on the 1948 OS map...
I agree it's a fascinating subject. Please correct me if I am wrong, but the original exhaust on 71000 was a double chimney based on the Dean...
Depends on what you've been drinking.
For now, I think it would be better if LNWR aficionados lent their support to the George V project, rather than dividing resources between a...
There is obviously a spectrum here. If the only criterion was logic and common sense, would we be discussing steam locomotives?
I stand corrected
In the true spirit of this comment, I'd go for a "Hush-Hush" and a Turbomotive. For non-replicas, I have a 5AT and a Quadraplex Super Garrett - a...
A replica of GWR 102 "La France", the de Glehn compound Atlantic, that was trialed at the beginning of the last century, but updated with more...
It's the gradient profile of the line north of Grantown that fascinates me. As mentioned above, the Forres end of the line has been built over,...
The other aspect of efficient draughting is the reduction of back pressure on the pistons. This leads on to a reduction of coal and water...
Is anything planned for Flying Scotsman's 100th birthday?
I would think that the lower back-pressure of the double Kylchap also makes a difference.
Out of curiosity, does the Strathspey Railway have any ambitions to extend over Dava moor?
If possible, it would be interesting to couple it to a Pendolino, and the use the regenerative braking to load it up!
I'm slightly confused by this post. Is it 9100 or 9236 which has the 40-element superheater?
My interpretation of the Kylchap (and similar) is that the blastpipe pressure is divided between two or more nozzles in series. Would this make it...
Jos, I have a copy of "The fire.." Could you please direct me to which section of the book the calculations for sequential sections are in. Thanks...
At 40 mph, FS will produce an exhaust beat every 60 milliseconds. Against that background I think your hearing would detect an error of 10 millisec.
