RLinkinS liked Hermod's post in the thread GWR four-cylinder arrangement?.
A very good reason for making articulates as compounds,was that flexible steam pipe to articulated front truck only had to handle receiver steam. Max 4 bar and 175 Celcius instead of 18/400 .

RLinkinS liked Steve's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
We used to stop at Farwath several times a week to take the lady who lived at the farm there to and from Pickering. She didn’t drive and used to make besom brooms which she sold in the market. All part of a service long gone.
