With fire risk it’s not judged on the new growth/rainfall, it’s judged on last years growth which is now completely dead and on its way out, making perfect fire lighting conditions. April/May/Early June is the absolute perfect whirlwind of dead...

'Castellated' 5043 slowly crossing the Ship Canal through the lattice girders of the Ethelfleda (or Britannia) viaduct between Runcorn and Widnes. Only my opinion but possibly one of the most frustrating bridges to photograph. The loco is...

green five liked Sir Ralph Wedgwood's post in the thread Tornado.
Apparently lots of issues with the old boiler which was supposed to be swapped with the first of the new boilers during this overhaul. I wouldn’t be surprised at additional stay work being required within a few months - subject of course to...

green five liked Flying Phil's post in the thread Tornado.
Well Tornado looks very good in Lbro shed! [ATTACH] But you can see how close the rear driver flange is to the foundation ring... [ATTACH] Another addition seems to be a pair of hydraulic pumps driven off the tender axle - one on each...
