    LMS Hughes Crab 42859

    Re: L.m.s Crab 42859 Yes, and apparently not. Pieces of them were seen at Riddels yard in Horncastle, LN9 5PN late last week. Amazing in this...

    LMS Hughes Crab 42859

    Re: L.m.s Crab 42859 That seems like a very old picture, I am told pre-2004. This is a pic I got from the NB loco preservation group which was...

    New builds - how many will ever really work?

    Cox had some strange ideas about some things. His Locomotive Panorama books were a pretty good overview of the locomotives he discussed in those...

    45699 Galatea

    It wouldn't be authentic. Primarily because 45562 was a vertical throatplate engine, whereas 45699 has a sloping throatplate. There are other...

    BR Standard class 6 No. 72010 'Hengist' and Clan Discussion Thread

    What's suspicious about hiding high value items? I don't get that. That's what you would do. I don't know the detail, but I've seen a list of...

    Bulleid Pacifics - Past or Present

    You're forgetting 35025, which has been mentioned this week on another thread. In which connection there's obviously a big heap of parts lurking...

    BR Standard class 6 No. 72010 'Hengist' and Clan Discussion Thread

    I think you'll find that it was the other way around. The components were stolen two or three weeks before they due to be transported away....

    Bulleid Pacifics - Past or Present

    Yes, well everyone can see that. But there's also a degree of lynch mob mentality which arises whenever Carnforth is mentioned, which is quite...

    Bulleid Pacifics - Past or Present

    Bulleid Pacifics - Past or Present

    That's a load of nonsense isn't it. With all the thefts that are going on, there has to some sort of security. As an aside, I don't know about...

    Bulleid Pacifics - Past or Present

    You have to go back more than twenty years to see the reason for that. A fairly well known (in railway circles) journalist kept badgering David...

    New builds - how many will ever really work?

    Ah yeah. You mean a bit like - use an 8F boiler to make a county. A bit of plastic filler and some paint, no-one will notice the difference.

    New builds - how many will ever really work?

    One thing is for sure. They have to spend it wisely and not let it get to their heads and pour it down the drain as so often happens.
