I'm sorry I mentioned valve gear :-) Outside valve gear to inside cylinders is unusual but hardly unknown, see the LNWR 'Tishys' and also there...
Driving the inside valves from a separate set of outside valve gear avoids the unfortunate multiplying of lost motion and expansion errors in a...
Lempor exhaust. Roller bearings Compensation to coupled wheels and linked to trailing truck as done on most big US locos - minimizes weight...
And whose fault would that have been? The individual's in question, I believe. It's hardly in the same class as a SPAD, is it? In any case, why...
To be honest, I thought it was of more interest as an example of the things that happened in ww2 rather than it being owned by the LNER - which I...
For Maine in the US, I believe. There is a prototype for everything. There is an urgent need for a second modern Pullman/obs car on the WHR to...
I was a bit puzzled how this ties up with your list, though. The ELR for example is close to Manchester and within an easy day trip of the whole...
I think there is no common or garden shunting engine either? The trouble is, ideas of what a museum is have become much better defined since most...
I don't think there would be too much debate over colour on most locos in the NRM, its the few where there is a conflict between the colour they...
Hmm. I seem to recall it leaking so badly it had to have a concrete base put in it. Actually, I somewhat agree, just making the point that there...
The trouble is people make statements like 'If its going to be apple green then it will only be accurate if it has a single chimney*. Sorry, but...
Do you really think you are going to stop the hundreds of thousands (probably millions) of copyright breaches on the Web by moaning about it here?...
It should also be pointed out that it is the CME who takes the blame if things go wrong. It's his responsibility, so it should be his credit,...
Thanks for that. My wife and I both grew up with these units as our normal mode of transport, and we went on the Ian Allen railtours using 017 in...
I'm definitely not having a go, but is there any update on the status of 306017? I understand its safe under cover, but is there any plan to...
Um.. I think they actually were brand new, the last off the production line. One of the Chinese steam building plants was terminated by an...
It's unpopular with _some_ locals - the WHR always has been due to the fact that it was originally (part) funded through the rates and other such...
And all mainline connected I believe, so it can bring its own stock if necessary. I rest my case.
Dear me. If we can't have it running on our local half-mile tramway in the middle of nowhere we're not going to put money into it? Perhaps it...
Why does air brake prevent preserved line running? First several lines have some air braked stock, and second there's no reason why she can't take...
