    Good to see Tangmere back in action with her "new" boiler. As built the boilers operated at a maximum of 280psi. I vaguely remember reading that, during the 1950's, all the Bulleid pacifics (both rebuilds and originals) had this reduced to 250psi, can anyone confirm?

    Detuned in the 1950s and at rebuilding. Still went pretty well and were described by the Rugby Testing Plant as the best steamers they had encountered.

    Thanks Al. With Tangmere now out and about I was looking at the leading dimensions for the light pacifics. The usual published data for the originals fails to take account of the lower boiler pressure and the nominal tractive effort is actually 27,700lbs (same as the rebuilds) and not 31,ooolbs (with 280psi boiler). In original form the adhesive weight is lower (126,000lbs c.w. 130,592lbs for the rebuilds). Culminating in Tangmere having the same (theoretical) "grunt" as a rebuild whilst being marginally less "sticky" (to the rails).

    This 'sticky to the rails' thing is more to do with how they were/are handled. The admission of steam to the valves is pretty efficient and if you don't watch what you are doing then you can end up with too much where you want it. And 'light' pacifics are. of course just that - light.

    Tangmere with a diesel in tow will be an interesting mix on the Northern Belle. I expect the tail gunner to come in useful at times and not just for heating.

    Have seen Tangmere quoted on Facebook, but this could be someone's guess or inside info?

    Ticket Letter showing 9 passenger carrying carriages. Adding the Restaurant Car and POB makes it a lightweight load 11 for the big Bulleid. Fingers crossed for some decent weather and some good fast running.

    I like how different locomotives have been used on each one of the WCME’s for 2022. It has been well thought out! Cheers!

    I'm guessing it's just 35018 this weekend, and no guest appearances from 34067 are due on Saturday?

    Looking like 40 mph westerlies. Nothing compared with last weekend, but a bit of a performance discount for that.

    34067 is taking the Northern Belle over Shap and the S&C on Thursday, unless something's happened that I've not heard about.

    Barely noticed Grayrigg, and we're making a valiant run at Shap right now. Galatea sounding absolutely on beat.
