Yeah, one has a nameplate and one doesn't...

Tom

 

"... a nameplate....."? Only one, Tom? Most locos, even GW ones, usually have two or none at all.

Peter

 

How do you know? Have you ever seen two simultaneously?

(Just a thought - maybe certain posters could be placated by attaching Dumbledore Hall nameplates to one side of an existing hall - you’d never see both names together in any case …)

Tom

 

I should hope so Peter, I’d be thinking twice about stepping on a train your in charge of otherwise!

 

Hope recent Human transition of bird flu in Buckfastleigh doesn’t cause the SDR or its associated attractions and problems. There was some kind of exclusion zone in place earlier in the week. https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/bird-flu-devon-familys-hell-6460370

 

https://www.southdevonrailway.co.uk/ is still in 2021 mode. I think I've seen elsewhere there's some running at February half term. Can anyone confirm please? TIA

 

Running 19th to 27th February Buckfastleigh to Staverton only due to track replacement work. Billed as "Steam & Transport Gala"

 

Few questions:

1. Where did you see it?
2. [Risk of being shot] Getting something non-home based wise?

 

But you're well educated and can count wheels.

 

Ten on each ... How much more proof do you want that they are all identical

Tom

 

And didn't the Americans even refer to one sort as "ten wheelers", as if it didn't matter how many wheels were which size?

 

I've seen the term used to refer to 4-6-0 locos here too.

 

1. Internal SDR news.
2. Doubt it.

Full details of half-term running.

 

3803 has been sold together with whats left of 2873 to the Dartmouth line according to a post on the 'Unofficial' page. Can't see anything on the official channels though... makes sense though. At least this one hasn't gone to Japan.

Edit: Rail Advert have this: https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2022/0...XMYrkarXjRe1giFMPx3K6KoFV854PUdz321hYobF6mGNs
