You mention a steam-age beauty who set a precedent for later generations of Blue Peter pleasantness. https://www.imago-images.de/st/0060011545...
The NSW Class C32 was another example of a design very similar in size and layout to the HR Jones Goods....
The IWCR did acquire the Black Hawthorn outside-cylindered 4-4-0T No. 6, which I think worked from 1890 to 1926? Both this engine and the Adams...
That is certainly true. The Hull & Barnsley gradually declined over several decades, starting with loss of traffic during WW1 and the withdrawal...
Although BR mileage had been contracting since the 1920s, it was only minor branch lines that were being closed until the 1950s. As you say, the...
Four classes of LNER 0-6-0 were still at work in 1966/7. One each of J27 & J36 survive in preservation, but J37 & J38 failed to make it....
Looking at some photos in RCTS book, you appear to be correct - 16 spokes for 76xxx but 17 spokes for 77xxx. Very strange!
Plus two Y7 ? Very small so easy to miss! https://www.lner.info/locos/Y/y7.php
The basic problem was that the natural position for a 4-6-0 rear axle was in the middle of the firebox, where it could get in the way of the...
Even at the time of the 1923 Grouping, only the Midland Rly still had large numbers of pre-1870 locomotives in service, notably several hundred...
Your opening sentence basically hits the nail on the head regarding Dugald Drummond. He developed an excellent locomotive range on the NBR in the...
Many of the GS&WR(I) engines looked very Crewe-inspired. But Inchicore started using bogies well before Crewe. The discussion of bogies reminds...
A most interesting list. If this was extended to include the Northern lines, it might include not just some GNR(I) types but also one of Bowman...
Might give some ideas to those who want to restore engine 488 to active service.
We have 20 surviving WCs & BBs - 10 rebuilt & 10 unrebuilt. I don't think we need any more. As for the rest, you clearly like locomotives with...
I have to rely on ES Cox ("World Steam in 20th Century") to answer your question. As in Britain, axle-load limits varied between areas and...
The Reichsbahn took quite a few years to build up its range of standard locomotive types. In its early years, building continued of several of...
If the SVR were to borrow 4003 from STEAM, perhaps it could masquerade as 4052 or 4060?
I notice that the single "J7" is shown as belonging to the Southern Area Eastern Section (i.e. ex-GER), whereas the actual ex-GNR J7s appear to...
Noteworthy comments above. It would be interesting to know what additional locomotives Gresley might have built had finances and the LNER Board...
