I don't think it adds anything to the argument about steam locomotive accounting, in which I am agnostic. I just thought my comment was funnier...
"Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!"
Well that's very true! I sometimes feel tempted to be blunt, if I make what I consider to be an obvious ironic comment and it is wholly...
I am not at all sure that this is so. Anybody on this forum posting views that differ from the consensus, or who some consider are providing...
If the locomotive was running mostly in a more optimum regime, would this not increase the mileage between boiler replacement? For example, there...
Simple curiosity.
Perhaps you could also clear up whether you are back with us or not?
For which you can partially blame me, although my fairly innocuous post and those following were hijacked by @Big Al (Not unreasonably)....
Of course there is no contemporary issue! But then you describe an issue which could be labelled historic. I have good memories of many SD tours,...

This discussion was a bit over my head, but I learned finite element analysis as a young engineer, and I have just done a search and found this...

Quite possibly, but I would be surprised if there were not a workshop somewhere in India capable of making them.
No, I don't think that at all, quite the opposite. You always think the worst of some people and interpret comments in the worst possible light to...
But I should have said that I detected no signs of a pushing diesel, and having just spent some time watching YouTube clips of the trip, I can't...
Thanks. A friend, who is not a railway enthusiast, described a train he thought he saw at Brighton in the 1960s. After some discussion, I showed...
I was on it and paid quite a bit more than I used to with RTC! However, I think it was worth it. I was in a group with my wife and friends of...
Does anyone know whether a GWR Railcar made it to Brighton at the end of their life in the 1960s? A confirmation or not would settle an argument!...
