Does that mean that the recalcitrant landowners refused a negotiated sale, even when faced with compulsory purchase?
If we're concerned about terminology, then strictly "Indicated Horsepower" is calculated from indicator diagrams of pressure in the cylinders,...
Different individuals will have different preconceived notions that they would like to be correct, but we should all try to be open-minded. A lot...
If those locos were to reach high speeds anywhere, those would have been likely places; respectively coming down Stoke bank and continuing to...
What struck me was that the route was so extremely indirect, including a long stretch of the (normally busy) WCML. Was no shorter route possible,...
Yesterday I came across the Green Signals series of podcasts. In this one [MEDIA] the Director of Rail at Transport Scotland explains that, when...
Did Stanier think there were taking the Mickey? Were they?
If some of them are fit to run in Mexico, why are none of them being used here to alleviate stock shortages?
That might confirm whether or not the speed of the chart paper varied, but that is irrelevant to the speed calculations, which were and are made...

Even re-typing the two links I can't get them to work.
It took me a while to find those pages. Printed page 505 is 613 of the digital copy, and 517 is 624.
If the movement of the paper is slightly delayed each quarter mile, that should not matter. There is a still a mark on the paper showing that the...
And yet the system was able to generate a path through that platform, apparently.
Indeed, and many other components too, which was surely a Good Thing from the point of view of the management running a railway. Less tooling for...
If the speeds are all calculated from the distance and time marks, any fluctuations in the paper speed should not matter much.
The trouble with all such speculation is that it ignores the special variety of logic that seems to operate in West Somerset.
I stand corrected again. Can someone please remind me (and all of us) which page of this thread shows an image of a section of the actual roll, as...
I stand corrected. However the only other records of distance or time are the manually added quarter mile marks, which are likely to be less...
It will indeed, provided the money can be found to overhaul it in a reasonable time; but there is room for considerable doubt about the money. We...
