    I believe the LMS 3F tanks were used on passenger trains out of Broad Street and maybe elsewhere. It would be interesting to know whether the "Douglas" Austerity conversion to a tender engine was any kinder to the track?

    I almost can't wait for that length to be reconnected at the ends! I gather some major engineering projects (bridges, level crossings) will have to go in before that can happen, though. (Shouldn't be too long, though; many/most of them seem to be...

    New web site added to signature. Back to normal now. Sorry for taking up this webpage but thought better to keep on the same site for continuity.

    If using beach Shingle as Ballast, besides any chemical reaction, you will get Smoothing of the stone producing rounded stones. Whereas what you need in ballast is angular stones that lock together. For an example try shovelling Shingle out of a...

    I'm pretty sure those are original L&B (more tapered) rather than later SR posts. Interestingly, as I understand it, the L&BRT, where they've reused posts of either style, have rotated them through 90 degrees, so the fence wires are clipped to...
