Apart from the specifications it says nothing about its operation. Just out of interest, have you ever done any work in a locomotive workshop?

That's interesting - I would have thought, and in my experience, standards aren't too bad for starting fires. If I was looking for 'categories' of engine to blame, I'd go for Bulleids and Westerns. Also small / pre-grouping engines as you say. I...

I'm reminded of Adams' trial of the Wordsell-von Borries system (a two cylinder compound) on one of his 4-4-0s. It worked OK, and saved a small amount of coal, but that was more than outweighed by the additional lubrication demands, such that it...

The TSR all the way to Kingscote was weather related - it will be removed when the weather cools down. (The notice says it should be gone today). Tom

To be honest, I was incredibly impressed that the timetable remained intact. When I saw about the TSR a couple of days ago I thought it would completely destroy the service. But time was kept impaccably. With these kind of things, as station...

I think four cylinder locomotives ,be they simple or compounds ,were silly. When mentioned in first post,it was to obtain a link to a King GA . I have been lucky as a very kind reader has sent me a complete GA scan. My plan was to take a...
