Spitfire liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.
You could see if other locos that ran extensively on ovoids had a similar issue … Tom

In the dark will it really matter if the paint isn't perfect? Cheers, Neil

3ABescot liked Mike Buttell's post in the thread Isle Of Man Steam Railway.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Happy to have been of service. A couple more. I’m not sure if these trains will run next year, the 2023 timetables are yet to appear and the catering business changes hands in the New Year. It’s been superb, a very hard act to...

Hirn liked Michael B's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
Very good, but I still think I preferred it when it had steam engines 50 odd years ago. W. G. Bagnall 2453 of 1932.[ATTACH]

Fred Kerr liked S.A.C. Martin's post in the thread Sir Nigel Gresley - The L.N.E.R.’s First C.M.E..
So - and maybe I am being unfair here (please tell me your thoughts if you do think this), but... I am loathe to place Chapelon, Porta, etc ahead of Gresley as materially he contributed by far more to locomotive and rolling stock design in this...

bluetrain liked Jimc's post in the thread Sir Nigel Gresley - The L.N.E.R.’s First C.M.E..
Different jobs though. But we've said this so many times before. The CMEs job is not to primarily design stuff but to ensure that other people design the right stuff.

The Dainton Banker liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Mangapps under threat - request for support.
We've got town centres that are dying on their arses with boarded up retail units, which are surrounded by soulless estates two miles out of town with no facilities and which only work by continued reliance on cars. (Salisbury, look at me when I...

The Dainton Banker liked 30567's post in the thread Loco 76017.
Is that literally true? Is there really no form of contract between the owner and the railway which specifies the agreement including notice periods, the basis of the storage v usage equation etc? Apologies for my ignorance, I should have...

The Dainton Banker liked richards's post in the thread Loco 76017.
Heritage railways are strange organisations. Staffed by volunteers (including the managers) who may have strong views, personal agendas and preferences, busy lives and other paid jobs. Their major assets (locos) are often owned by external...
