P2 Locomotive Company and related matters

I'm aware that's true of music publishing, where there's a profitable industry for musicologists to prepare new performing editions which become copyright even though the composers may have died before copyright was dreamed of. But visual arts?

 

There's a lot of confusion about copyright above. This isn't really the place, but note that there is copyright on both the original work and on new versions of the work.
So copyright on the text of a 19th C book has expired, but if I publish a new edition with significant new design then there is copyright on my edition, but not on the actual words.

 

Just the same building a house: it takes much work and the time to do it after the foundations go in, the walls up and the roof over them for wiring, piping, frames for doors and windows, getting everything ready for decorating = quite a stately pause where it more or less seems to be stuck!

 

How significant is a modern font, removing hyphens from words such as to-day and updating various other spellings (e.g. connextion) ? In @Jimc's example, add amended, lost, or (occasionally) censored place names.

 

Shots from the P2 page, post heat treat. Safe to say, its been well baked!

Going by the previous photo, it appears to have been given a parky or similar to create the black finish.

The thread finish also looks impressive.

Howco should be proud, its good work.

This has to be one of the last major hurdles for the P2. Cant wait to see her in Ferryhill in the fullness of time. Not that I am biased OFC!

 

That's if the copyright, not the book, has been renewed and possibly being in the ownership of an heir..That's my reading of it.

 

Much better than being half-baked - And I can think of at least one other project using half-baked parts!

Do you refer to my recent try in making wholemeal loaf Richard?

I don't know if there's a V4 thread yet, but it would seem it's to be called Highlander.

 

They’re clearly a competent and capable bunch, but their naming game is weak.

Nothing to do with fonts surely. To-day is just an archaic spelling of today.

 

Very appropriate, since there will be only one.

 

Did Sean Connery's estate have a word in their ear?

Anyone else feeling utterly bewildered by the last few posts?

The copyright or the movie jokes..?

 

Everything from #2950 onwards - about naming.

My fault – I just felt that compared to the engines they’re inspired by, the names of the A1, P2 and now V4 seem a bit obvious and clichéd…

Highlander is a moving picture m'lud, where a man who is French pretends (badly) to be Scottish, and a well-known Scot (formerly dwelling in Malaga) pretends (badly) to be a Spanish/Egyptian, who was an advocate (from Malaga) of Scottish independence.

Which is an interesting counterpoint to naming one after a bloke who is exercising technical Welsh-ness under his spare identity who is an advocate of the union even though he could cheerfully forget his schooldays in Scotland ...
The film was graced with music from a chap from Zanzibar pretending to the same name as the second chap above's mum, of course.
[Edits: various, for clarity and to avoid treason. I shouldn't post in the pub...]

 

I'm glad you added that last bit . . .
