I see well it just goes to show we can't necessarily give CMEs all the glory/blame. Though having said that, there are still times when the CME...
Oh of course, I forgot that the loading gauge on the L&B is more generous than the FR, hence why Lyd has an adjustable cab. Be interesting if Lyn...
I would have the FR would be more suitable a place to put Lyn through it's paces, though truth be told it could be either since to certain extent...
Very exciting to observe this project as it reaches it's conclusion. Though I'm curious, once Lyn is complete do they plan on testing it out on...
Equally enlightening stuff, and indeed as with many other jobs of this nature, the man appointed to take charge of a department will ultimately...
Most interesting , perhap it should be known as the Francis Patriot then. ;)
Really? Then who did he supposedly say was the REAL designer then, the tea lady lady...? :eek:
Unfortunately that's a problem a lot of bigger engines(particularly MNs) tend to have wherever they go, no railway has trains heavy enough, and...
I know, looking back at the comment now, not exactly my finest hour... Oh well, better luck next time as they say.
I'm sure if they were offered more appropriate alternatives they'd at least have some interest in the idea.
Well there are ways of solving that, plus I'm sure a locomotive's braking ability is of particular high importance on the NYMR, perhaps more so...
Well if their really no good, I'm sure there are people who will be more than willing to take them off their hands... ;)
It is interesting to compare the two projects since both have been arduous in time and resources due to both being such large and complex...
Good to hear, rather grand to think actually that as far as I can tell, this new build project barely changed that much to the original design....
Fully agree with you there. Restoring that giant of a steam locomotive is one thing (though nonetheless greatly commendable), running and keeping...
Great news to hear, I take the exam without any notable hitch? Really hope it'll be more or less complete and in steam by the May's gala. Or dare...
Yes it's pleasing to see good coverage all round for GWSR, though I was surprised to learn that the 8F has left for pastures new, to the GCR(N)....
You do raise a good point, especially considering that it's not as though their unwilling to face doing a new build boiler, since they've made it...
Has anyone in the project actually said that this is what their doing? It's never really been clarified. And if it's true, considering all the...
Now if only we could have an original GNR A1 pacific named "Great Northern" for good measure...
