green five gefällt buzby2s Beitrag in dem Thema Flying Scotsman.
Flying Scotsman ran between Swanage and Harmans Cross stations and attracted record crowds [and urgently needed profits] in the Summer of 1994. The picture is not sufficiently clear to me to make out who is on the footplate. Roland Kennington...

The spot outside Victoria is quite a popular one; I was there for the second outing of the day (not having seen until that morning that the B1 was out vice the Brit). Such was the impromptu nature of my day chasing it, I initially failed to...

Following on from this a friend at the NRM has sent me this interesting photograph of Flying Scotsman's weigh shaft. Not only is it stamped 103 and 4472 but if you look carefully at the first 4 of 4472 you can see that it has been stamped over...

Nearly all (or all?) steam locos built by the Big 4, including Flying Scotsman, the other Gresley Pacifics, the Duchesses, Kings, Merchants Navies etc were treated as renewals, costs being debited to P&L as may have been adjusted by transfers in...

It wasn't about "too much bother". It basically just came down very very expensive for a very small annual mileage. The Mainline decision was - I recall - based on a number of factors: - Not being a TOC, realistically any mainline running would...

green five gefällt brennans Beitrag in dem Thema Didcot Railway Centre.
How many times has a major job started with " it only needs a retube"? Having said this it's probably the cheapest way to get another big Didcot-based loco back into steam when compared to the museum exhibits. It also fits the GWS criteria of...

green five gefällt MellishRs Beitrag in dem Thema Didcot Railway Centre.
That work demonstrated the intention at the time to run it on the main line. With the GWS having subsequently decided that main line operation would be too much bother, it would in principle still be possible for someone else such as Vintage...
