    WW2 locomotive building.

    I don't think you are right about the buckeyes. I seem to recall buckeyes were standard for mainline coaches at least, but as you say that's...

    WW2 locomotive building.

    It pains me to say it, being an LNER man, but the GWR had justification - the Midland didn't. The LNER had a very different organisation the the...

    L & Y R Aspinall Atlantic

    I'm biased - I have H. A. V. Bullied's book on Aspinall and have always had a liking for the L&YR, despite growing up at the other end of the...

    Tank v Tender Locos

    I don't think the ex LNER lines took the slightest notice of the LMS (BR) power classification. I don't recall it being mentioned in any...

    L & Y R Aspinall Atlantic

    I have a sneaking liking for these brutes. There are some interesting variations in the class. And by all accounts they were fast, if not quite as...

    Ton up Tornado

    IIRC it was never disclosed at the time exactly what was done to steady up the A1's but something was done. It wasn't the A4 bogie. I seem to...

    Edward Thompson: Wartime C.M.E. Discussion

    It's important to remember Gresley had the responsibility, though. Had the rebuilds been failures it is he who would have to account for the waste...

    P2 Locomotive Company and related matters

    The frame design was improved - and fitted to the A4's. At some point you arrive at a situation where you have created a de-streamlined A4 rather...

    Gresley V4

    Just to be clear, the V4's were NOT designed for the West Highland - they ended up in Scotland because one was already there on account of its...

    Edward Thompson: Wartime C.M.E. Discussion

    I think Gresley could be quite tactless at times. There was an unseemly falling out with Beyer-Peacock over the last batch of B12's.

    Edward Thompson: Wartime C.M.E. Discussion

    Sorry, I seem to be having a groundhog day. I'd delete this post if I could - the question was answered a couple of pages pack.

    Garratt loco William Francis

    It was the same type as the old Airfix model. A Scammell, i think.

    The 9F 2-10-0

    [IMG] Agree with all that, though they did good work on the ECML and the GCR as well - but again, they were on faster fitted goods and block...

    The 9F 2-10-0

    Yes but it was not intended they would be able to go so fast and it was eventually decided it was potentially unsafe. The margin of safety on the...

    9F why does not having a flange on the centre wheels stop it being mainlined
