What's all this about it being a 'Prince of Wales'? It's obviously a 'George the Fifth' class No. 956. 'Dachshund' completed April 1911....
Thanks for these further photos, Wayland: fascinating stuff! I suppose you've already tracked down LMS 2424: built Jan. 1934 and the very last...
No problem! Glad it was possible to find an answer. I guess they had the photo taken because it was the first of the typr they'd seen. Or...
Also from Ted Talbot's L&NWR Eight-Coupled Goods Engines, it seems that of the three engines sent to Tebay, only one of them was painted with LNWR...
That's what they thought about the Rocket in 1829. The Novelty was much prettier.
Why not look into the RCTS book Locomotives of the LNWR Southern Division? You'll get the gen about Edward Bury in there. Now available cheaply...
Certainly, but then who can say what exactly happened after so many years? Either Kennedy or Stephenson lied about this, but with only...
Yes, that's the usual tale, from Clement Stretton and many of his copyists, down to W. V. Awdry. But it is simply untrue to say that most of the...
Over a year before Daniel Gooch joined the GWR in August 1837, such a scheme of interchangeable standard parts in engines built by different...

As I understand it, from down among the detailed description of the fund for the Castle class Defiant on Tyseley's website, the Bloomer is owned...
After the flurry of recent magazine articles about vague intentions, it will be interesting to hear something definite at Kidderminster on...
Some definite statements about this should be revealed at the L&NWR Society's Annual Open Meeting on Saturday 29th July 2017 in the Kidderminster...
Yes, I do so agree.
So far, apparently not. Merely eye-catching stories in three or four magazines - rumour, hearsay, gossip. So, lacking any detailed...
To return to the other - the working - Bloomer project. All I can find about it on Tyseley's website is a passing mention down among the long...
As far as I remember, the non-working Bloomer - named Wolverton and numbered 1009 as if to follow the last of the class - was all built new and...
It will be news when some clear, unambiguous and detailed statement comes from Tyseley. Until then comments such as "I should imagine", "I'm...
