There is an existing design for ETCS equipment, we just need to work out how to fit that! It gives far more info than basic signalling including...
I did read somewhere online of a steam loco that has been fitted with a deadman's pedal type device which applied the brakes and used a servo to...
This is old news, in that ETCS has become the future standard for mainline railway signalling in the UK. It is already on the Cambrian (in an...
If Marty McFly got in the Delorean today, he wouldn't go as far back as that picture...
Today's update, there are some bluebells around but not the full spread we usually see, perhaps the rain next week might move it along?
Interesting from that piece in The Locomotive that the loco had six positions of forward gear, assuming these were in the range of 25-75% cut-off,...
Do you close them at the end of each day?
That has backhead clacks with shutoff valves similar to the hunslets austerity...does anyone know why you would have them (the shutoffs) on a loco...
Wow, what a steal...and although strictly within the letter of the law someone using that 200 times to visit a volunteer supported charity wants...

An amazing window into the sheer cost of doing this in 2024!
Little longer to wait for the direct comparison!
If you had any pictures to hand I'm sure we'd be interested !
I think the East Grinstead site is just too constrained at the north end, which is where you really want the room, in order to build a better,...
Very unlikely to be based at Grinstead, there is nowhere to put it other than in the platform or the loop, which then blocks things up if you...
I think the challenge of getting the right hand side is not just the baffle but a large heat shield immediately to the left of the firedoor, which...
This is reducing the whole world to necessary or unnecessary. Should we stop cooking food as we could all eat cold? No, it's daft. The approach I...
