On the KESR Terriers are allowed 85 tons up Tenterden bank (average 1:50) and the P class was allowed 75 when last in service.
Add in a couple of Beattie well tanks (1874?) and Met No 1 of 1898.
Well if we include 0-8-0s, I think both the LNWR & GCR 2-8-0s were developments of 0-8-0s which pre-dated the 28xx. There's a lot more to being...
Surely Robinson's 2-8-0s were just as successful and roughly the same vintage? Plus of course the Midland built S&D locos and I believe the LNWR...
Random selection can of course miss people. I understand for example that trial jurors are selected at random from those available, but in the...
Having checked the 1939 edition 25" map on that site, there are more sidings, including a loop and two wagon turntables.
I dare say shire horses would have been used for deliveries. But it would have been wasteful to keep one around for the occasional positioning...
One of the pictures shows the TOPS code VVV, and another has a tare weight in kg, both of which suggest they were still in use as late as the mid...
I work two boxes on KESR, one has the frame at the back so that it doesn't restrict your view of passing trains, the other is at the front so that...
I have noticed elsewhere on t'web, that when used bricks are stacked on pallets they are normally laid flat like that. Whereas new bricks are...
Water treatment is added to loco tanks or tenders, but may also be dosed into a water tower. At the KESR Rolvenden has a reverse osmosis plant...
Well you could say, that as a non-southern loco, this was the standard national code for through freight or ballast train (or the early...
I have read somewhere of a connection to the Metropolitan line. I think it fell out of regular use before WWI.
That's actually quite a good idea, if they are sharing platforms with South Eastern services.
Must have changed the view from your office Andy
Of course it may be a mundane reason. Perhaps there was nowhere in the cab to safely stow a lamp not in use, so the easiest place would be to...
As so often, I just wish I had some money. Looks a really useful loco.
I note that Google Earth has updated views of the Rolvenden site. Clearly showing the extent of the track alterations.
The rule book required (requires?) a driver to stop if wrongly routed, before taking the wrong route. These codes helped signalmen by allowing...
If you study the codes as per the link above, (post 19) it seems to show that trains from the SER or LCDR had to change their lamps at Ludgate...
