There is good news that the six main forgings for the inner valve gear components (To replace those stolen in 2022) have now been completed, with the relevant certification. They are due for a final inspection before despatch to Daniela Works.

Very pleased to see this loco on the way back, the mainline has been missing a King - the ultimate GWR design. There was the disappointment of 6023 becoming heritage line only, & never getting to prove its new chimney draughting arrangement -...

5322 I think is complete, some pics appeared on Facebook last week. Looks stunning, shame it's not operational. Last time I was at Didcot was approx 5-6 years ago and 7808 was looking quite scruffy then, so a cosmetic restoration probably...

I wonder if it’s a cosmetic restoration, wasn’t the same planned for 5322?

I was fortunate to be able to visit Cranmore engine shed yesterday. 46447 was outside in the sunshine with more parts being assembled. What struck me was the average age of the young fitters as it was probably only in the mid twenties. Well done...

On a dull Good Friday morning, Tornado is seen passing over the 1837 built Grand Junction Railway Grade 11 list structure at Penkridge with its engine and coach move from Tyseley to the East Lancs Railway. The seven arch viaduct crosses the River...

Some comments on the gradients at Shap Summit. The normal gradient profile shows a mile of level track between mileposts 37¼ and 38¼, and post 37¼ was the top of the Shap Time Trial section in 1995. However, on timing these trains and others it...

Some horsepower calculations for 60163, using the RPS spreadsheet and my GPS data. All the usual caveats about inherent uncertainties with values given to the nearest 25 and an estimated uncertainty of ±50 to 100HP. Grayrigg North (MP13-MP26)...

The beauty with Tornado is it doesn't matter, she can pull either. If last Saturday proved anything, the blueprint for Tornado being the 'Ultimate go anywhere, do anything' 21st century mainline steam loco, is fully realised. Combined with the VT...
