Because the short underframes were ordered before the decision to dieselise was taken. Basically the original idea BR had was to replace the pre...
Given 8Fs are allowed on the mainline, I would imagine that is certainly a possible solution. Thing is its not a 9F then as to make it work the...
Nothing wrong with dreaming - as long as you recognise the realities. Personally I quite like the idea of a 9F out on the mainline, but I am also...
You still are missing the fundamental point that NR are under no obligation to allow rolling stock that does not comply with the latest group...
"Bigger" has sod all to do with anything. The question you should be asking is (1) What is the coupled wheelbase of the P2 (2) How does that...
Please think about it for a moment. A flanged wheel does not 'hit' a check rail, rather the flange slides along the edge of it if necessary -...
The issue is not so much check rails on curves - it is the wing / check rails provided on points & crossings - without a flange to prevent it the...
You need to remember that NR is UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO FACILITATE THE OPERATION OF ROLLING STOCK THAT DOESN'T MEET CURRENT GROUP STANDARDS*. Steam...
Oh I'm not so sure* - have a look at those roof panels in the photo. Yes Liverpool Street may have looked great back in 1991 but its obvious that...
You are rather missing the point. Having trains discharge s**t all over your workplace is not nice and it should STOP - regardless of where it is...
Dawlish - like Eastbourne and Clacton has the advantage that the can take place over the sea. As such insurance costs should (if risk assessed...
IIRC 75027 was bought by a private individual and presented to the railway as a sort of gift* and as such the 'Bluebell didn't buy it in any sense...
I believe the 45mph restriction when running tender first only applies if the engine is actually leading / working. If it is being 'dragged' so to...
With regard to 80100, the loco is basicly only being retained because the other two (80064 and 80151) are owned by private groups. Should they...
Nothing that cannot be solved with enough cash - make the bridge substantial enough and it can indeed span the A1 in a single go, or alternatively...
When charter companies start PAYING THEIR WAY and not hiding behind the delay minute cap for example (IIRC around £5000 rather with NR absorbing...
To be fair its not so much the loss of two ferries that is causing an issue, its more the current occupiers of said vessels and their land based...
While the HRC as an entity was indeed abolished in 2013, ITS POWERS with regard to nominating important railway items for preservation have not....
One thought that occurs to me potential liveries (and the way going for the later design might restrict them). Presumably the examples produced...
The Uckfield single line has two passing places - Ashurst and Crowborough (Its double from Hurst Green to Heaver). For the hourly off peak...
