This was Braunton yesterday at Victoria![ATTACH]
I'm pretty certain that trying to 'ground' this debate by exchanging messages, private or public, is not ideal, especially when the author is mid...
To be objective about this I think it is worth remembering that nowadays the big Railway takes forever to do simple stuff such as attaching a loco...
We seem to forget that these diesel things are pretty ancient themselves. They can also break down. In fact my hunch is that they probably fail to...
So true, so true. Can I just suggest for a moment that we stand back from this? I will take as a 'given', as it seems does Steve, that what...
I hadn't seen that article until you popped it up so thank you. I am not implying that what @S.A.C. Martin is doing is unnecessary as my...
@Spamcan81 is dead right. It is interesting that the speed record for Mallard was set at 126 mph 75 years ago before it was possible to identify...
I won't comment on error bars. With a situation like this I would draw on as many different sources of evidence available. Each will have its own...
Improving the overall efficiency of a steam locomotive from a relatively low base - I have about 15% as a ball park figure - may have been...
I'm under no illusion. The railway is operated for the TOCs and the service trains. Charters are slotted in where convenient and if that involves...
Nice video and as for Santa's little helper, well you said it all. If that's what was going on at the bottom of the climb then who knows what...
I never shows speeds as anything other than whole mph rounded up or down as appropriate. It amuses me that I see logs with the first decimal place...
But after 112 mph, the train continued as normal to KGX unlike Mallard that got a bit hot, I recall....
Sorry. Can't help. GPS is only (c)rude if you don't monitor it continuously. I recall that the video of the GPS monitor in the coach on the 100...
On a related matter that arguably concerns us rather more than what happened before we were all borne, can I digress slightly? The mix of fast...
All I know is that in the video clip we were talking about, the Duke should have been ok with 10 and I just can't remember why a skip was tucked...
Now that is a ridiculous comment.
I mention in passing that this is a good example of when the diesel did not assist until requested by the crew. OK - it didn't turn out as...
Hope you picked up one of the on-line discounts. :)
I'm prepared to cut the A1ST some slack over decisions, the timing of work on Tornado and emergent issues. I guess that the problem they may be...
