    Those cut at Woodham's...

    The Diesel is D601. Behind it was D6122. You have some of your numbers wrong. 34017 and 34087 were both rebuilt and neither went to Barry. The two...

    46235 City of Birmingham

    There are always higher temperature lubricants. But the exotic ones are a lot more expensive. Better to use proper cylinder oil if you can - with...

    In the wrong place. Also the reservation on it had been dropped shortly before it went for the chop. Reputedly it was the best of the 9F's...

    46235 City of Birmingham

    I don't think there is any possibility that 46235 could change ownership. However if some sort of suitable agreement could be reached, then I'm...

    46235 City of Birmingham

    I'm not sure I can cope with the farenheit scale. As it was, 46229 was barely reaching 600°F on a good day - just over 300°C, and that's with the...

    46235 City of Birmingham

    What a load of nonsense. I always think it's strange how it's perfectly okay to have three working A4's at one time, but horror of horrors, we...

    46235 City of Birmingham

    There was a lot of attention paid to things like very accurate valve timing on 46229, at least in the 80's. Some experimentation was involved...
