Edward Thompson’s standardisation programme was predicated on that precisely that basis. Hence why his standardisation programme included a 4-6-0, 2-6-4T, a large 2-6-0, a large 2-8-0 and two Pacific types to do the mainstay of the work going...

I thought that was gnerally the norm everywhere. Only railway enthusiasts subscribe to the idea that the identity was according to the frames.

I think this was also true of some T9s. A number were converted to oil firing after the war but were withdrawn and laid up at Eastleigh when the short lived oil burning scheme was abandoned. In the 1950s when some of the older surviving T9s came...

I think the same held for the SR. I've mentioned before a case where you can demonstrably show that to be the case, at least in BR(S) days: In a couple of cases, pairs of "long frame" and "short frame" M7s went into the works together, and what...

I agree there is little or no doubt about the provenance of Evening Star & Flying Scotsman. However there are other cases, some in the National Collection. NRM used to have information sheets online about various locos. Gone now. The one for...

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...

"Accountants' rebuilds" gets somewhat derided as a concept in railway circles, but I think it made a lot of sense. Essentially the companies had "renewal" accounts and "capital" accounts. The renewal account was to "make as new again". That...

Such restrictions might no longer be applicable for a GWR railcar movement via Robertsbridge since the Hastings Line tunnels were singled, in the 1980s, in order to ease the loading gauge for new stock and electrification. Wouldn't it be nice?

It's a dodge to get around registration regulations - for some reason it's easier to register a replica aircraft if it can claim an 'existing' identity off the back of a data plate rather than register as a 'new' one. For the sake of the...

More KESR/Col. Stephens prototypical would be using anything but a GWR coach and having the Railcar haul that, I hope it will happen soon :)

Previous reports of W20W have said the railcars were designed for multiple working and capability would be retained in '20's restoration in case the opportunity to pair it with '22 ever arose. That was reported a few years ago and things can...
