Serious thread drift .... but does any one know is Lady of Legend getting bogie brakes?
The Great Bear had ten of its twelve wheels braked, it was intended to fit brakes to all twelve but the whole contraption was becoming seriously...
Re American groups the CSR 130 project to rebuild ATSF locomotive No. 3463 of 1937 to burn biocoal and run at 130 mph seems to have gone quiet....
Ah, I see! So, entering fully into the spirit of this, is there any chance the NRM would lend me the Duchess of Hamilton's bathtub for my new...
I thought that only Mr Webb's with the slip eccentric for the middle cylinder achieved that.

I couldn't make head or tail of it so assumed it was some Drummond contraption involving water tubes. [emoji1]
Lovely looking loco, in a similar vein I think a S&DJR small Johnson 4-4-0 would be a nice new build project. For heritage line use it had...
But what would be the point? Surely a replica of 6202 should be just that. A radically new efficient form of traction ultimately leads to the...
I'm not sure any significant improvements would be necessary, other than those made to it when in service (I think the reversing clutch and some...
Might not recreating 6202s turbines be less problematic than redesigning the P2's valve gear? [emoji1]
I saw parts of a model Dean Single he was building about 30 years ago, it was an absolutely perfect scaled down replica precise in every detail.
I think the GWR streamlining just wasn't carried thoroughly enough. Obviously a very different approach to the overall casings adopted by Gresley...
I agree, the Claughtons were very much a near miss. Certainly some of the problems including the piston rings might well have been sorted out...
This site http://www.railalbum.co.uk/mystery/mystery05.htm has a photo of Mountaineer and says it's boiler was still there in 2004.
Wrong "Mountaineer". That photo is the second experimental Fairlie built in 1866 for the Anglesey Central Railway. The one at Burry Port was...
I wouldn't expect the firebox to have been much use in a culvert, particularly as the dome aperture was in the top of it. Probably just the two...
I thought the 6100s were 4MT?
The boiler shells of "Mountaineer" an 0-4-4-0 built in 1870 by the Fairlie Engine & Rolling Stock Co. reputedly used as a culvert at West Dock,...
They might havr been on use on the Midland but some of the Western Region classifications were clearly nonsense, the 4MT prairies ranged from the...
