LMS2968 liked 45045's post in the thread Oil Firing.
It is a good job we only use oil and gas for transport fuels. It we were to use it for other things like road surfaces, pharmaceuticals, plastics for insulation, fertilizer, then we would still need some for these products, but as it is only...

LMS2968 liked std tank's post in the thread BR Double blastpipes.
The frame arrangement of the 9Fs was completely re-designed during construction. From 92050 (stated on drawings) or 92097 (stated in book records) all the Crewe built 9Fs were fitted with cast hornblocks held in place by cold turned rivets and...

Several Problems with Brits to my mind were adaptations from other locos that were found wanting on a 2 Large Cylinder as opposed to 3 cylinder loco. The Slide bars Lner/ Bullied pacific Laird type ... unsuficiently robust/supported for a 28inch...

The difference is that it was you who did it. This is rather like claiming a new world marathon record by driving it in a car.,

LMS2968 liked Johnb's post in the thread Fakeography.
I recently saw a great picture of a train taken during the eclipse, the photographer had the skill to get the exposure and post capture editing spot on. AI means that anyone can sit in front of their computer and by typing a few instructions...

LMS2968 liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Fakeography.
The problem is you can no longer believe what you see. Which is particularly an issue if people are relying on photos as a source of historical truth. For example, taken at face value, @Johnb has changed a tour that happened during the day to one...

LMS2968 liked 26D_M's post in the thread BR Double blastpipes.

Possibly, but at what point does the image cease to be your work? Can you really sit back and think, "I did a good job there,", or must it become "The computer did a good job there." I got some satisfaction from my photos, even some of the ones...
