Not disputing the points you were making, but Tornado can hardly be a beacon of preservation achievement, as they haven't preserved anything....
I was under the impression that 8624's red was actually EWS red.
Indeed. Hence my question. (Although I could say it's a bit like bodging* an old GNR boiler onto a new Marsh Atlantic...) (*Term used for effect....
Oh, I'm well aware of that. But equally, there are other industrial locos which have needed new cylinders cast, at vast expense. At the end of the...
Unused spare for RSH 'Ugly' 0-6-0ST I understand. Just have to hope one of the surviving 'Uglies' never needs it...
Thales recently sold their transport business to Hitachi. I suspect that submarines remained with the Thales mother ship though. So probably not...
I that was the case when the loan was arranged, but the Windcutter group are making great progress these days and I'm not convinced the management...
Indeed and no disrespect to the P&B, loaning those six out was probably no bad thing at the time as it gave them a more certain future. Just a...
I'd be amazed if such a deal stood up in court. Whose name is on the land registry? That's really all that matters, surely. Possession is nine...
The GCR has had two distinct bits for the last 30+ years and there are a few lessons to be learnt there, I think. One is that trying to stick the...
Yes Phil, just yanking your chain on the fictitious livery! In a perfect world I'd have (a) kept the ones which were sold to MOSI, (b) not sent...
I presume #711 means B279711? Real number is B266560. Built Gloucester RCW 1957/58 (does anyone know which?), rebodied Horwich 1976 with body...
Sorry, I think you missed the point I was making here, which was merely to counter the post I replied to. The "ruthless businessman" part was in...
I've never met the man nor been on one of his trains (and I also can't stand his politics), but I'm reliably informed he has sunk money into at...
Nice photos. So, which steam locos are currently available for traffic? I can see 5 & 6 in the photos, and I guess 7 & 8 are as good as dead :(,...
As you said you're going on a Thursday, most likely it'll be a single train up and down all day, at a guess probably three round trips, so I would...
Out of interest (and sorry if I've missed this), is it intended to restore the original alignment once the slip is fully addressed? It would seem...
Ahem. Not quite all of them. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] PS: Images stolen from https://www.lner.info/locos/A/a.php
I can’t add any technical knowledge to the steel firebox debate, but IIRC the N2 currently has a steel firebox with welded stays, fitted during...
