In order to accomodate the problem reducing the wheel diameter to say, 2 Metres dead and adjusting the suspension to accomodate the new position of the blocks post the drop is likely do-able, but suspect that would require the thinner wheel rim...

You don’t do washouts through the blowdown valves. That’s what the mudhole doors and washout plugs are for. (On each side). If the devices shown are for the daily blowdown, I can’t see how you use them safely. If they are simply for draining the...

The old Daresbury station in Moore village, far more overgrown than the last shot I took here more years ago than I care to contemplate; given the amount of housebuilding around here I wonder if an argument could be made for a reopening. And...

Sounds to me like an excellent idea but The Shadowy Chancellor aka Mrs W said it would break "fishscale rules" (I think that she meant fiscal) so it has had to be limited to Senior Railcard holders only. "Vote Wistle for more F in fun!"

Gladiator 5076 liked 73129's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.
