Sheff liked W.Williams's post in the thread LMS Patriot Project Updates.
Manifestly not. Tornado, P2, a certain pair of Black 5's West Shed, SNG, Clan Line, Aviemore are just a few examples of highly professional engineering, without any caveat required. Preservation or otherwise. You can X-Ray a whole Trent XWB if...

Sorry I didn’t make myself clear there. Yes the inspector was ‘independent’ but they were engaged by, and reported to, the manufacturer, not the client. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sheff liked Monkey Magic's post in the thread LMS Patriot Project Updates.
If I have read correctly post appears to suggest that there was an independent inspector. Boro had an independent company verify the castings but the xrays they made were of such a poor quality that errors were not picked up. So if I have it...

Perhaps they should have used an independent inspector, or at least had one examine the results obtained by the manufacturer?

Sheff liked ruddingtonrsh56's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
I wanted to give a huge shoutout to the Bluebell for their recently updated Volunteer page (https://www.bluebell-railway.com/volunteer-at-bluebell-railway/) - it is fantastically clear about all the opportunities to volunteer at the railway...

The book is now being printed. The excitement is building. I am confirming a few details with the publisher and will hopefully be able to share the front and back covers later today.

Sheff liked Oswald T Wistle's post in the thread Dalesman and Pendle Dalesman 2021.
The last Pendle Dalesman of the season, no reason to change my plans so off to Chapel Lane at Hoghton. It was a proper autumnal morning, condensation was dripping from the car, the sky was filled with a thin layer of high, white cloud through...

Sheff liked Pete Thornhill's post in the thread Vintage Trains - 2021.
Yes he certainly is dismissive, it’s my one bugbear with VT though, all the others manage to give you a rough idea which VT seem unable to do although all the other operators do. If you have to travel to board the tour it makes it difficult to...
