Thanks Mike. I was sure that someone who knew the full facts would pop up on here soon.
Good question. No idea. (But I believe the welding together of the short bits was largely done as a training exercise for a new mobile...
I think new? Is correct. As far as I understand it, track removed from (LUL?) tracks during renewals is recvd as short panels which have been cut...
It looks rather complicated, presumably because of the restricted site. I recall going to Hitchin to help remove the turntable there, which went...
I know what you mean. With today's volunteer signalmen, and their advancing ages, some of the longer pulls of former days are no longer...
I hear what you say, but surely making an extra heavy casting for what could otherwise be a lightweight spectacle plate is 'adding extra balance...
Sorry, I can't answer your question, but just would like to clarify something. When people refer to up signals or down signals it is normally...

Just bought my two 'sets' of stays online. (Each 'set' is one crown stay, one copper stay and one steel stay)
Wasn't a Peak a bit of overkill for a lightweight train like that? (Thinking of the Cromptons [mere type 3] on the Grain branch dragging 900 or...
There is also a requirement for all doors on the side facing NR to be locked.
A damper on a steam loco is not a way of dampening the fire. Just like a damper on a domestic coal stove (sadly now uncommon) it is a means of...
I love these old restored films. (And as a bonus the next one which popped up afterwards was Flushing to Harwich, with Dutch and British boat...
I was asked to stand behind Don Estelle in the cab doorway of Met 1. He was promoting a new record he'd recorded. This was post "Ain't 'alf 'ot...
