And, I fear, are just reducing their credibility by making 2 and 2 equal 22 and demonstrating ignorance of the issues. Maintaining a big website,...
If you think steam has problems you should study the situation with freight traffic, especially containers. Gauging is now managed with great...
Of course it might be as simple as not wanting to pay rent...
Yes. Don't know how the hell I managed that seeing as I had Holcroft's book open in front of me. Serve me right for straying south! Reckon Neil...
The second order of S15s was called A16 in the LSWRs eccentric system, but that, according to the not very reliable Wikipedia was 502–506. LSWR...
Not really. Its at Tyseley now and IIRC was originally at Llangollen with a short interval at Leaky Finders. Although its under the GWS umbrella...
Seems to me for a first pass at a distinctive mid Victorian type its hard to go past the Bloomer, and if that can't find funds to completion its...
To my mind the problem with the standards was complacency. You can see it in Cox' books. He seems quite convinced that steam locomotive design had...
I rather doubt that anyone is getting rich on that.
There's a point of view that engaging in threads like this is akin to mud wrestling with a pig. Such engagement may only lead to stress and abuse...
There is and there isn't. The Castle boiler is basically a thinner barreled 47 boiler on the same firebox. The original studies for what became...
Please no... The bloody process drags on long enough already. If you allow for endless reworking of tenders nothing would ever get past the tender...
IME its not unusual for *no* tender to fulfil all the criteria, so there has to be some flexibility. Its all part of the scoring and weighting Tom...
Not to mention that your own auditors (or worse) will descend on you if you break the procurement law. You absolutely cannot just award it to who...
Oh indeed it was - the GWR General appendix to the rule book has no less than 6 pages on restrictions on various types of carriage, both within...
Castle nominal wheel size is generally published as 6'8.5" (2044.7mm). I don't have any details for a Castle wheel available to me, but a standard...
Sure? According to Cook 6'6 was below scrapping thickness for a Castle wheel, although they did turn a new set of tyres down that far for a short...
Gauging on the modern railway is a precise and very complex topic. Anyone interested is recommended to register on the RSSB website and find the...
GPs is accurate enough to send missiles through chosen Baghdad windows. The problem appears (somewhat anecdotally) to be sloppy usage.
This possibly notorious sketcher of fictional GWR locomotives had a go at sketching up a post Churchward broad gauge locomotive and gave up! It...
