Oh well I've been almost irrelevant for most of my life so nothing new there Simon. Actually I have been channelling my inner @Jimc because I...
What is the UK steam speed record, authenticated, on level track?
Thanks Michael, interesting. Yes I was misremembering where Papyrus did that record.
Thank you Michael. That's the kind of sum I was thinking of. Actually I was thinking of Stoke Bank --maybe that is 1 in 264 .... So maybe plug...
Trying to remember my G T Moody, but wasn't it really Herbert Walker calling the shots on the Southern? And didn't the Brighton Line come first...
So. theoretically, how much difference to achieved speed does,say, 10 miles of 1 in 256 falling make relative to Level, all else constant?
It's all become a bit of a chapeleon really.
I think that is a slightly reductionist view. I would argue that all sources of evidence whether primary or secondary need to be screened for...
That was my take.So massive clouds of smoke and steam at Bell Busk and Giggleswick. Presumably T and T on the return from Carnforth. How do I get...
Presumably this is a charter? A famous run was on 5/2/94 when 71000 put up I think the second fastest time in preservation over the Blue Riband...
I wonder when the NYMR is starting up to Whitby. I guess it's all a bit tight at Whitby if there are two steam trains to accommodate?
That's exactly how I remember 34066-70 going up to Sydenham Tunnel in the late 50s. Completely different from the Arthurs and the Brits.
Great day for you Simon, congratulations, but I wonder whether/how your day job, your MNLPS role, the PhD and your books in your spare time will...
It should be possible to cross at Nunthorpe at 1315 and 1815 giving a couple of hours in Whitby. A few years ago the timings on the return had to...
title-- are russet apples better than comice pears?
On my local line, Harrogate to Leeds with the notorious problem of stopping a sliding train on the bank not to mention starting uphill the other...
Anyway Peter looking back on the last week and a whole series of decisions by various parties around FS, the weather, the destination and the...
I thought the R meant radial?
I count 120 SR classes. It's all a bit of a jumble partly because the constituent railways' classes were never reclassified. So you have H (SECR...
Send their 47 to Hellifield this afternoon? Looks a good run up Grayrigg. If I've understood it right he's a jammy so and so, got what he...
