"Reminiscent" if they had hauled Scotrail/Intercity-liveried Mk3s in their glory days!
Thanks, both. I'm surprised (but pleased) that both sets of lamps meet the standards (rather than having exemptions), as so much stock today has...
Another thing about the tour raises a question for me - the two front lights carried by 70000 were far from 'high-intensity' (by modern standards...
I like the new word "smuttering" - a mix of 'smattering' and 'smuts' - very appropriate!
Wonder if it survived the blasting!
I wondered that, too. Some form of condition monitor measuring interior deformities perhaps?
My video from today. [MEDIA]
Went to see the ECS at Nutfield today - perhaps I should have anticipated that the steam would be 'idling', at least until passengers boarded at...
Was that for reliability reasons, or the sheer weight of the train requiring three 37s? 3x37 = 5250hp, and 2x56 = 6500hp, so the power was...
So I imagine the presence of a railing is adequate - thanks.
Yes, which prompts my thought - as they are passengers rather than staff, is it technically allowed for that external door to be open while...
Absolutely so - here in Surrey we had a very wet winter too, which has stood us in good stead regarding water supplies now. I think, away from...
Of course. The interesting thing about the present spell of weather is that it hasn't been hot (apart from a couple of days in the high 20s), but...
I applaud your optimism - I hope so. There have been several rather stark examples recently of steam causing issues, and of course those were...
Understood, but I was surprised to read that 'Britannia' was apparently allowed to be the main motive power on its trip the other day. I don't...
Indeed - we in Surrey had some large torrential storms last night, which were quite widespread as they moved NW from France. However, the BBC...
I'm just amazed that NR's fire risk status is not at the highest level - there has been extremely little rain over much of England for several...
Interesting, thanks. I'm very surprised that steam is being allowed to work at all hard in the current drought conditions. Let's hope no fires...
Of course, the exceptionally dry conditions so far this year (apart from January) do not necessarily mean the same for summer - many such springs...
My opinion is that this belongs squarely here - it is directly relevant to main line steam tours, which is what the WGO thread is all about. When...
