Haynes have now produced a workshop manual for Flying Scotsman.

Could you kindly direct me to the posts I've made you consider to be "tripe" and "bluster made up from second hand conversations" please, if you stand by the accusation?
The edit was because I initially misread (small screen, early morning etc ) your "critique" as being from Victor, who my longer post quoted. Sorry to report nobody has 'got on my case', I simply decided to enquire of you directly.
Victor did make a good point though, slanging matches are immature. So too is sniping at other posters on a personal level simply because they disagree with how you see things.
"Have a think about that, before engaging your keyboard."
You're welcome.

 

let's hope they do the double-chimney edition

Forum Rule 1b pretty much covers things.

 

hey, Captain, were gonna need a bigger boat for this one.....

 

Some good pics being shown elsewhere, with sample pages from the book, with the complete works in front of boiler etc.., so looks like it RalphW.

After the work completed, where better to get an idea of the full workings.

 

So that's how Mr Riley managed to get the work done so well and so quickly!

 

I come on here to read and hopefully learn something about the subject this thread is meant to be about, can you please keep it to that and stop being so annoying! grow up

 

Just me?

 

main culprit mate. Please keep it interesting and factual

 

Think quite a few of us might be struggling to satisfy those rules but I'll try my best. Sorry to have spoiled your enjoyment.

 

Maybe this formed the basis of the initial overhaul!?............

 

So do the rest of us, but we're aware that this is the internet, where personal clashes from outside can sometimes impinge. If you want to avoid the occasional digression, stick to magazines.

 

So the 25th Feb is the "Inaugural Run" then - is this absolutely confirmed?

Does anyone have any idea when tickets are going on sale...?

 

It's like Africa in this thread.

Field full of grazing deer.
Tiger looks for an easy target.
Tiger bites deer.
Deer squeals.
Gamekeeper comes along and shoots the deer, because Deer are expendable.

So Nat pres politics over all eyes down for the test run.

 

Its actually really good that Ian Riley posts on here again. Getting facts from the horses mouth as opposed to paint froth and dirty washing being hung out to dry for all to see are neither interesting or positive and do not encourage people to get out there and get involved.

Neigh that I am calling Ian a horse of course...

 

Not too many Tigers in Africa.

 

noticed that 5m50 is in the system for a run on Thursday
