I was brought up on Welsh coal on the Talyllyn and believed it to be great stuff because that’s what everyone said. It was only when I changed...
Many thanks for the explanation. Interesting.
Probably a move to suit Richard as he has this week started work on the NYMR as Planning & Project Engineer.
Looking at the photo I'd suggest that the inner crank is slightly after 12 o'clock , the left one (as viewed) slightly after 4 o'clock and the...
That looks to me to be a built up (fabricated) crank axle rather than a solid forged one. Whether, in this day and age, you would want to forge...
Long story or not; if the NNR came to a conclusion that these were better than the standard chain, it is worth telling others.

What a load of rubbish. With regards to BR contributing to the repairs to 60532 after its infamous slip; they did. After all, it was the fault of...
That’s an odd question to ask. Have you asked it of all the others who operate air braked stock?
Have you considered using Tricoya instead of plywood for your panelling? It's getting more and more use on heritage railways for this purpose and...
I'm quite happy for Tom to call me middle-aged, Peter.:)
Most bright steel rods get a coat of paint on the side that can't be seen.
Well, if it was a ship, the usual term for trying to take it over and depose the officers is mutiny.
