  1. Miff liked Aberdare's post in the thread 6024 King Edward 1.

    When 6024 came out of service in 2012 (?) a "Rent of workshop space" contract was agreed between the WSR and 6024 Pres Soc so that the society had space to overhaul the locomotive in the workshops at Minehead. This suited both parties as they had...

  2. Miff liked burnham-t's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.

  3. Miff liked Fireline's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.

    That was from 1986, when it was found that the boiler was life expired. In 1986 that was much more of a problem than it is now. Sat around until the deal with the Isle of Wight to buy two new boilers at once.

    Something similar (Bodiam dismantled and left in the open for years) has already been done in the preservation era at various times in the '80s & '90s. Nostalgic though I am for the Col. Stephens era, hopefully not again any time soon :)

    We could also take the chimney off, and dump it in the open at Rolvenden for 10 years, for added authenticity..... :)

    Surely time for a un-named spell as “No. 3”, in the final version of KESR green. Not yet done in preservation.

  8. Miff liked DismalChips's post in the thread Steam speed records including City of Truro and Mallard.

    I dunno, I find the idea quite appealing. It is (as stated above) probably marketing flannel and doomed to failure but there's something in human nature that sees something assumed to be a settled question and says "we'll see about that". Comes...

    Pointless? How will they get on/off that section of track then? :D

    I hope not. :) It's hard to think of anything else so pointless.

  11. Miff liked S.A.C. Martin's post in the thread Steam speed records including City of Truro and Mallard.

    Background: David Andrews and I both bought a load of ex-LNER dynamometer rolls over the last two years (he has subsequently donated his, post his research, as I intend to once my ongoing research is complete). I have a meeting this Friday to...
