    Many mainline embankments have had significant works done over the years to be fair, much larger scale than we can contemplate affording proactively.

    And I’m no more comfortable about that with the Mk1

  4. 35B liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.

    Needless to say I have an inbox filling with submissions for the next issue of Bluebell Times! (As running foreman last Sunday I also had a small part to play in ensuring that 80151, 72 and the carriages were left in the right place and ready to...

  5. 35B liked W.Williams's post in the thread P2 Locomotive Company and related matters.

    Helpful. Presuming FEA is stressing, and there will be a fluids analysis to help with valve events... If so, timing the valves for optimum flow through the ports, probably the first time anyone has ever done that for steam. That alone will...

    All fair, yet these embankments are 50-60 years younger than many on the national network seeing much greater use (I’m listening to them go by from my desk!). If what you write is correct (and I’ve no reason to doubt it), the question then is...

    Two things. First is about what constitutes “preservation” and how that affects the approach taken to “preserved” stock. The second, which you don’t touch on, is the “use and dispose” approach implied in these posts. Beyond a general view that...

  9. 35B liked flying scotsman123's post in the thread GWSR General Discussion and Operations.

    Hey, that's our railway you're talking about there! I think it's accepted wisdom that the line was built quickly, and on the cheap. Combined with the particular local geology and geography, and lack of understanding at the time of construction,...

  10. 35B liked acorb's post in the thread The 10A Allocation.

    I think we established a long time ago that 'profit' and 'business sense' have not been at the forefront of recent decision making. If it were they would have prioritised fitment of CDL for the Jacobite several years ago, rather than putting it...
