In the US they sometimes fit abrasive brake shoes (and adjust them to be tight) to takeout minor wheel flats while the loco continues to run - but...
What GE seem to have done is quite clever really. Most of the bits between the cabs seem to have been lifted from their standard locomotive range....
The plan (well the last one before it gets changed again) is for the 75XXX to have a high sided tender (I hope that it doesn't in the end). I...
The best bit I think was when he called out from underneath where he was doing some oiling, to ask who was making all the noise!!
Come on - the MHR own 73% of the company, it might as well be 100%. The black 5 is not very likely to be in service this year (possible, but not...
I think they lifted 14 times before he got off shed didn't they?
Hmmm, the Talyllyn believes that a GM is a luxury eh? I do hope the rest of the organisation is strong enough to withstand that sort of thinking....
That's good, so does that mean that you will be able to switch your boxes out? I don't think that that is part of the plan for any of the boxes...

Re: WHR, has it a future? I wouldn't leap to the conclusion that the WHR put them out of business (the report does state that the amount was only...
I don't consider myself a diesel person really, but I enjoyed working on at the gala last weekend, and I would happily drive the 37 again given...
I am all for the "business-led" railway. There has to be a cogent business reason for the railway's activity, but there is nothing wrong with...
Coasting in with the drain cocks open and no steam on. My guess would be the loco is in full gear hence the amount of time per wheel revolution...
Solely in the ineterests of being open. The core plug was found by a member of the crew lying trackside (I too have seen the item) - as you would...
Crikey, that's a heck of a big bit of metal missing. As to repair, and when, we will have to see won't we. I have no doubt that the cylinder will...
I don't want to re-open a wound, but I think that the reason that the WTT never has the loco workings on them is that the Ops Manager likes to...
Sad to see the only railway that had resisted the onslaught of the tin cans give up. Mark my words, it is the beginning of the end for the...
I think that the railways that will still be around in 10 years (or more) will be those that: 1. Understand the markets they serve really well...
