Aren't there enough new build GWR 4-6-0's already?
I'm just wondering if the same patterns could be used to cast a set of "in gauge" cylinders for 6023. Obviously it won't be quite that easy (new...
Any difference in thrust between the inside and outside cylinders will be transmitted into the frames, but it will be considerably less than for 2...
A W1 (rebuilt version) would have made more sense. Alternatively the P1 always seems to generate a lot of discussion on this forum.
When the pits were originally sunk, a lot of people moved from rural areas to work in the mines. My grandmother was a maid to the local vicar, and...
I was looking on streetview to see if I could see the engine shed, and found this picture...
Hasn't that already started?
Looking at the map, if you are proposing to go to Pilton, you wouldn't need to cross the river here. Great picture though!
I was looking at this post and had the leftfield thought that the L&B could potentially extend along the Ilfracombe line. As mentioned, stranger...
Tornado will never be associated with John Noakes, Peter Purves and Valerie Singleton.:)
It's a good point about the draughting. With the number of locomotives it would be great if there was one with the draughting modified in line...
Locomotive exhausts often had a "front end limit", and I don't think there has been the opportunity to assess this yet. It would be useful to know...
I watched "Timeshift - The last days of steam" on BBC4 on Wednesday 18th April at 11.00pm. It was a repeat from about 10 years ago, but will still...
I can't help thinking that Dai Woodham privately didn't want to cut them up and did little or nothing to stand in the way of purchase for...
I'd like to see Aerolite in action.
I don't know whether it was related to the problem, but just wondering if the new middle cylinder cast for Blue Peter would be available, if required.
The P1 seems to generate more discussion on this forum that most of the other suggestions that come up. I can understand the A1SLT not being...
Presumably it would have the various tweeks: roller bearings, double Kylchap etc., or of course a triple Kylchap for 242A1.
The P1 should have good acceleration, which is one of the criticisms of steam. Due to the flangeless centre drivers, 9F's are not permitted on...
Did the P1's have the same valvegear as the A3's? i.e limited to 65% cut-off which gave the problems with starting. If there was any situation...
