Helpful. Presuming FEA is stressing, and there will be a fluids analysis to help with valve events... If so, timing the valves for optimum flow through the ports, probably the first time anyone has ever done that for steam. That alone will...

I suggest that a valid comparison in terms of contemporaneous main lines would be the GCR London Extension? This was also built post the pick and barrow era. I’m not aware of any history of structural failures there? Not sure what conclusions...

I think those images appear to come from an account on YouTube, who posted a YouTube short of the loco moving. Glad to see 6024 in steam again. Personally I hope it does end up in matching GWR livery to 5029, because (in my opinion at least) the...

So this para on their website is obsolete? “Since the acquisition of Seal Engineering (now CTL Seal) in 2009, our operation also includes the design and manufacture of bespoke fabrications, structural steelwork, heavy precision machining,...

I think we established a long time ago that 'profit' and 'business sense' have not been at the forefront of recent decision making. If it were they would have prioritised fitment of CDL for the Jacobite several years ago, rather than putting it...

Thanks Ian, I had no idea where the CTL name came from. Are they still the parent company of the Diamond Group?

Thanks for the insight into the 'personalities' of 5197 and 6046 - very interesting to note and it will add to the appreciation when next travelling behind or filming these magnificent locos. Well done to all involved in the railway's...

Definitely sounds that way. The loco seemed to be struggling or certainly being handled very carefully and skilfully. 6046 always appears (to me) to be stronger than 5197. Vegetation seemed dry so possibly a conscious plan to prevent possible...

Could be for safe access, looks like the start of a scaffold stairway with uppermost landing in place with ladder access.
