Surely one of the most unusual main line movements , albeit 20+ years ago were the passenger carrying specials run to celebrate the revived line...
Before leaving the train at Temple Meads.
Hopefully at least one or two of those elegant landmark cooling towers. We would miss them if they were all demolished.
I remember that. It was to advertise the brand of wallpaper paste. Seems to have been even more effective than expected! Was it Solvite? ( it was...
Yes thats right. Emptied the coffers to shore up the economy after we inevitably imported the ''death of capitalism '' from the USA. Remember the...
It does include a lot of recycled parts which is of course a genuine GWR tradition. Its better than entirely new build therefore.
I suppose it does depend on the type of vegetable oil used. Maybe a small dose of Castrol R would be some compensation for the absence of that...
I think l read that on the WSR they have been running a Class 14 on vegetable oil ?
Very happy with that outcome , l was unaware of that !
Given the circumstances of its thorough reworking, which l am completely in agreement with, maybe it should more correctly be called an Elliott P2 !
They do describe it as a Gresley P2 though when it clearly isn't. I think Sir Nigel would be unlikely to recognise any of the engineering as ' his ' !

I think its a very useful service to the wider enthusiast community to clearly counter 'slack ' humour. I get a bit fed up with people who post...
Generally agree with that, but in taking on the unrestored Castle boiler that project not only saves about £500,000 on building a one off new item...
Just noticed this interesting comment, thread drift though it may be! If Didcot do not seem to have done anything to preclude main line use in...
I have checked back in to this thread after afew months just in case there are any new valuable insights or facts emerging. Sadly it is all more...
I actually hope we do not have any more new new builds in future. We seem to have more than can be funded already. Regarding GWR 4-6-0 's l have...
On the contrary, MellishR makes a very valid point. Finance is not easy to come by within a practical timescale. It never was and is getting...
Would you prefer ' Looky Likey ', l certainly would not. Its a very wòrthy project which l invested a considerable sum in ! It is a replica but...
I have already posted along those exact lines! I repeat ,Tornado is a magnificent replica, what's not to like ?
