I sometimes wonder whether people building replicas are motivated to recreate what once existed, or feel a need to iron out all the imperfections...

This is a bit of an aside, but 73156 obtained its Caprotti valve gear from a Malayan Class 56 pacific. This picture shows 564.21 "preserved" at...

Malayan Class 56 pacific at a museum in Melaka. It is supposed to have Caprotti valve gear but this is missing. Was this the donor for 73156?

Good post Fred. Reminded me of a photo I took of 55016 making a hell of a lot of smoke between Bury and Heywood. The date was 10/4/2011 and it...

D9016 is a special loco ... the first Deltic I spotted, April 1964 at York. I'm surprised it doesn't have a blue plaque! :)

I like them both, but the original smokebox arrangement was quite unique and distinctive, so I'm glad that's what we're getting.

Pity. SFIK the projected locos would only have cosmetic differences, so why re-invent the wheel(s)? Not sure where the Doncaster trust expects to...

Forgive me if this has been asked before. Is the P2 Locomotive company co-operating in any way with the Doncaster P2 Locomotive Trust? Is there...

Ok, Ray, no offence intended or taken. Ever since I first visited the IOM (in about 1966 I think) I always had this fantasy about linking the MER...

No. I don't know the answer to this. It needs a shift in thinking and the world isn't ready for it yet. I'm not. I'm sure they're well looked after.

As mentioned above, there should be a justifiable need. There are loads of cases where animals do great work for humans. But no need for them to...
