Re: Anyone else a fan of this engine? Prize for guessing what engine and where. (Nopr Thanks to the people who have taken part in this thread....
Dunno but the sudden shutting off of steam was the cause of the big end going according to Don Hale. He stated in his book on Mallard that without...
A bit of reading about the Festiniog would show that the doors HAVE to be locked. I found this out in a book left in our holiday cottage library,...
No *cough* apparently other axes were ready ground. As I've said, I think I've been answered by the chap who knew about wholesales.
