We matched new TAS bolts with ex-Netherlands primary suspension rods. The nut will stay with the specific numbered bolt. Some were stubborn and needed fine cleaning of the threads. They need to be a good secure fit though as they take quite a bit...

Totally agree. It isn't a criticism to say that original Bulleids have unique set up and maintenance requirements but with the right regime are capable of astonishing performance. As you say 34092 was exceptional, especially after the Geisel...

I don’t think you can categorise its usage in the heritage era as ‘intensive’ in comparison to its BR days? There appears to be recurring instances of front end problems, judging by the failures and audible evidence from videos. Regarding this...

67’s travails have nothing to do with why the Bulleids were rebuilt. One only has to look at how good ‘92 was on the main line as well as 67’s performances earlier in her main line career to show what they are capable off. ‘67 has sounded well...

At the moment it appears to be held as the reluctant flagship of the 10A fleet when their major and proven skills arguably lie more with Stanier designs. Won't happen of course, but it would be interesting to see how it performed if put into the...

Jammed with fragments of piston or valve ring?

The afternoon train was well filled today when I was there. 29 facing forwards.

It sounded bizarre leaving York with the excursion. It sounded even worse later on leaving York with the thunderbird diesels. The drain cocks were jammed open on other videos I saw of this trip. Sent from my XQ-BT52 using Tapatalk

Piston rings was mentioned elsewhere soon after the failure. There are videos of it leaving Newcastle with only 4 beats rather than 6. Another at York shows it slipping on every wheel revolution while heading back to the NRM with the 67s in tow....

Departure from Newcastle looked odd. Engine was blowing off, not a good idea if you’ve injector failure, unless it had just happened and thus couldn’t quieten the boiler down? But lots of steam from the taps and little/no exhaust beats...

I think you miss the point. Would you consider running through Morpeth at 50mph to be a highlight of a steam tour on the LNER mainline?

As this post appears to have been exhumed, I’d just add that was our normal usage too on the WV in the early 70s, it’s probably the same today. So 12-41, 52-12, 50-25; we always pronounced them as two numbers.
