Some nice shots of streamlining on this thread. It's the apparent effortlessness of the A4 at speed that always impresses me. And a propos...
And if people in North Norfolk didn't have vision and ambition we wouldn't have the Sheringham crossing yet, or maybe ever. An extension into Holt...
Compensation from BR? I knew that it was said to be the unfamiliarity of the crew that led to the slip getting out of control. Were they from BR...
The T9 is such a fine looking machine, but, up that bank? Will she be running LE, +2, +4 and banker, or what? I assume she'll be trialled first,...
There's recently been a diversion on the 'Clan Line failed' thread, about wheelslips. To satisfy both the 35028 fans who were getting a little...
Sorry Steve, I should have said "part of a game plan" I completely agree with you that when you think this through, there are any number of more...

I've visited Swanage by rail in each of the last two years, once using Norden P&R, and once using the free (to NT members) car park at Corfe...
Is there a link to show current and proposed final track layout at Leekbrook Junction? BTW, the linked photos of 8624 and its maroon rake make...
So from this weekend on, PR will have a 60ft turntable, but no large steam loco to use it - it's kind of redundant for diesels, don't you think? I...
What we know about the new government, railways, and railway politics in general. - their coalition agreement commits to High Speed Rail as a...
The concept of the 5AT produces a lot of tractive effort. Due to its 4-6-0 arrangement, however, all that power can only be transferred to the...
Several of those photos on the VT website are really evocative of past times. I especially like the low level shot of Box Middlehill Tunnel on...
That video at Reading was shot from a quite literally borderline-to-reckless position. A few more on YouTube like that and the Reading rozzers...
Anyone take timings on Shap to compare with the Duchess last year?
