But if powering from the loco is now banned, you have to place confidence on the diesel not throwing a wobbly.
I have been walking in the Dales and Lakes in the last month and locally around North Leeds. We have had nothing much above 20 degrees yet (that...
Have a good day you two. Got to miss it, Covid in our household. WCR office kindly allowed me to postpone to September in the circumstances.
Depends whether reversing is permitted to Morpeth Turnback Siding --- that's leaving fire risk issues to one side.
Trip to Blyth and Morpeth coming up, possibly the most unusual day out of 2023?...
Looking forward to that, Simon. It would be good to go through all the moving parts. How confident are we that the quarter miles were not...
Thanks Simon, yes agreed on the first point. I should have said 7.5 secs at the peak speed which is the speed of interest.
With an asymptotic curve like that it doesn't make much difference, but it is perhaps worth noting that your intervals are effectively 7.5...
Hi David. My take on it is that in their first year which I think was 2018, LSL ran with a diesel on the back, but sometimes not doing very much....
From Southall via Victoria and Brentford? That's 95 miles. I'd have thought that might be a bit tight.
Might be senior memory but have they stopped for water at Overton in the past?
Times up on RTT for the first York Dalesman on 8 June. I will be making my annual pilgrimage to Carlisle. The Tilcon Arcow train, if it runs, is...
Times on RTT now. 0528 from Leeds, three extra minutes in bed! Looks like T and T Leeds to Preston judging by the ECS move.
I'd say it sits with all the performances with 20mph speed restrictions over significant sections--- ie nothing to be said from a loco point of...
So, oldest to run --- Lion. Oldest to carry fare paying passengers--- Hardwicke (107) Oldest in 'continuous service'--- depends on definition...
98 when it ran from Shrewsbury to Stockport. Not Lion?
https://rchs.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/FINAL-Wilson-LNER_2.pdf Yes, see page 43 of this paper. I think the finance scheme was effectively...
That paper of Wilson's mentioned the Government's New Works Programme 1935-40. I wonder how much difference that made to the case for new build in...
Is it all OK today? I assumed it was Leander and/or diesel to York and 44932 on from York, but the York NRM to York station move is cancelled....
Agreed. It spent a year or eighteen months at Upperby before its final transfer to Stockport. I realise Upperby points southwards and Kingmoor...
