Obviously any boiler explosion is a sad occurrence, but one thing always strikes me in photos of them - There always look to be a Hell of a lot...
Great news both for Sir Lamiel, and for the 5305 Locomotive Association! This should see Sir Lamiel through its centenary on the Main Line,...
Me too, but needs must... :) Richard.
How about an Ivatt 2MT Tank for a North British Railway Reid C16 tank? And an LMS 8F for a Lancashire & Yorkshire Hughes class 31 0-8-0... Richard.
It also brought down a lot of years-old undisturbed soot from the underside of bridges and tunnels! Richard.
Right, I'll have to go hunting for my copy of Cook's "Raising Steam on the LMS"! Richard.
I can't now remember from whom I gleaned this information from, it was certainly a member on here, perhaps Anthony Coulls? Good job I saved it as...
I think that was the problem on the Coronations, due to the length of the superheater elements - steam was actually being cooled as it returned to...
It does look a bit out of proportion doesn't it? The Britannia boiler was developed from the Stanier Coronation boiler wasn't it, hence its steam...
Or some 9Fs to the Midland, Anderson would have a fit!
If Galatea is still running as Alberta by the time Kolhapur is finished, it would be good to see them working turn about on the S&C, as in the...
My five would be: 1 Trade the Bugatti-front P2 New Build for a Caledonian Conner 8'2" single 2 Trade an 8F for a Gresley P1 2-8-2 3 Trade a BR...
Good stuff James! 30 years ago, where does it go? Sadly my Dad passed away in 2011, I didn't get chance to take him back to the Railways in his...
I have the card somewhere, I got it for my Dad's Birthday, it made his day! In fact, I've found the image, it's on the Duke of Gloucester...
Lovely shot Sir! Happy memories of my youth, spent many happy hours patiently waiting for (usually late!) SLOA specials on the S&C in the '80s...
Thank You for your input Sir! Very much appreciated... I was wondering if it would be a lifetime assembly, or whether it would require renewal...
Purely out of interest, what is the life expectancy of a fabricated & welded cylinder, as compared with a cast iron one? Obviously the P2 Group...
Brilliant progress, and another very interesting read! Thank You for posting the link. Richard.
I was being polite! Richard. :)
Indeed, the RHDR springs to mind. What's staggering in the Victoria case though is that the B-Double driver was running parallel to the Railway as...
