This date can't be right Peter.
Sounds like the post. I had in mind the separating off of LBSCR marine engineering responsibilities following the death of Robert Billinton.
Reading about responsibilities being hived off from the CME's office rang a bell. Did the LNER have any shipping operations and if so, did these...
That explains it. The least 10 years went in two ... and that'd have been shorter, but for the lockdowns. :(
Missed that .... how long ago did the '15' go? I always thought that if someone decided to fund a Sharpie, it'd have to be Northern to save...
Much done way back when would likely be done differently these days. I suppose we should count ourselves lucky certain proposals for Blodge to do...

I recall similar outrage from 'certain quarters' withing the TRPS when Sir Haydn returned to service with a more sensibly proportioned cab in the...
Hope this is of some interest. Some old footage of NBL's factory, originally released in 1949 [38'28" Posted to YouTube by one "Chuckles"] and a...

This rabbit hole seems awfully familiar! I submit we cannot ignore the policies of government (under which the entire nationalised sector, not...
Given the number of alterations to the class (just as Mikados), there's an exceptionally strong case for saying their design detail was fairly...
Yes .... I do .... very much. :) Amidst so many great images, one caption sort of stood out "A quiet moment at Ramsey". Unfortunately, I think...
Which war? Without WWI, we'd likely have had a precursor to inter-city OHLE up and running .... and railways sufficiently well-heeled to have...
20% is a pretty wide window. Has the underlying theory received much attention since the new build was first mooted?
I merely reported a view. You evidently missed the tone of my OP.
Needs a longer caveat ....... :Pompus:
An extremely imaginative album. Greatly enjoyed trawling through that. I'd not realised 9Fs featured even slightly in the M&GN story. Many...
No more than, like so many millions of others, he stayed and worked in Vichy France during the war years. I've heard nothing more specific, so am...
Not being overly familiar with the M&GN in general and it's stations in particular, a quick trawl seemed in order. First fruits:...
