    There are multiple "hard engineering" solutions in the cutting north of Toddington on both sides now; certainly on the up side it's quite clearly been a case of failure, retaining wall, failure on the next bit, retaining wall on the next bit etc...

    Charles Thompson Ltd and CTL Seal were linked 5 years ago but are now completely separate companies. They are working together on our boiler project. Their web site does need updating

    Is said membership secretary part of the railway's salaried staff likely to be in the loop regarding the bought and paid for awards scam, or are they a volunteer being hoodwinked by the Park Street Polit Bureau? If the latter then I don't think...

    That is good news, that is part of the original strategy, so it does imply that things are keeping (belatedly) to plan. Fascinating as to where you draw the line with modern tech. If building it from the ground up, would you even bother with...

    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    So this para on their website is obsolete?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,...
