Bluenosejohn liked Jonnie's post in the thread Spa Valley Railway - Latest News.
A rather busy weekend last Saturday and Sunday. I spent it on 828 on the Saturday and it gave me the opportunity to let the Fireman drive all day and the Cleaner fire. Something very positive and a joy to watch was the Cleaner who had his Passed...

Sheff liked guycarr360's post in the thread Tornado.
Although not directly involving Tornado, the following video from the UP Steam Shop's Ed Dickens, gives a useful insight into how they operate a steel boiler in the USA. Union Pacific Steam Shop Update (youtube.com)

GWR4707 replied to the thread Current state of 45593 Kolhapur.
IIRC I think its any overhaul after this one where doubts may have been raised by Mr Beet? I suppose there could be economies of scale if 45690 & 45593 were being overhauled simultaneously at Carnforth? The fact that overhauls seem to be...
