I should perhaps say that some crews prefer GWR or BR western steam and while the occasional Midland is fine. I suppose we'll just have to pretend...
A warm welcome to Mr Aberdare. I'll leave you and Mr Maunsell907 to have an interesting conversation about the myriad theoretical possibilities...
Sadly I cannot remember if it's two rows or three rows of super heaters but there is nothing I can find written to indicate 4160 was modified from...
I can only offer a practical comment. 4160 is much easier to fire over the WSR that 5542 with 7 on. What do I mean by that? Well most firemen will...
Great to see some more progress on 9351. Test fitting of axleboxes is underway. Pictures on Steve's site.
I will make sure the chairman is aware of your concern. On the plus side we do have a Treasurer now. I think we should keep this discussion out of...
It's as Snifter says. Loco crew (for operational and safety reasons) are exempt Hi Viz when working on or around the locomotive. If we do fail in...
There is a loco swap and LE move planned sometime during the day but that's all the detail I have. What I do know is that the 30th is the last...
In fact I think there are some picture from the thank you train named in Andy's honour on Steve's site.
I don't think there is any real danger of this happening. We now have a fully elected board. The communications with members (and indeed...
Some interesting points being raised. I'd say public access to the footplate is far easier on a big loco. It's a bit cramped on a Small Prairie....
5542 is a bit special. Not all small prairie tanks are created equal. I'd suggest some careful reading of the class specifications for what at...
How do you come to that conclusion? 5542 has been working this week, I fired it on two occasions. On one round trip with 7 on which she will do...
It could have been clearer but I think I understand it. The EX BL column probably refers to what happens when the loco gets to MD. (That is it...
I don't know if you're right. I'll look into it if I get the chance. What are you own thoughts? PM me if you like to save spoiling this thread.
It would be great to see more volunteers coming forward to learn the art of hand painting coaching stock. There are plenty of vacancies AFAIK....
Suspect that's the answer. Owners reps need authorisation, I don't think it would every be withheld unless there was a genuine safety concern...
Don't know.
5542 has arrived on the WSR.
Thanks.
