    Another first for the Windcutters! [ATTACH] This wagon went up to Leeds to have its wheel tyres "turned" to a correct profile. When it was unloaded I was told that it was actually shunted briefly onto NR rails so the first time a 16Ton Mineral...

    Interesting. There is a persistent rumour that Gladstone’s chimney is a wooden replacement, but making an exhibit out of toast is a new one on me ;) Tom

    I'm just writing the intro page to my now completed chapter in my SA steam memoirs book that covers my 1991, and last trip there. I cannot be the first gricer who has done this with excess cabin baggage to make sure everthing vital for a long...

  9. أعجب silversteellady بمشاركة Inzynier' في موضوع FR & WHR & WHHR News.

    I believe the question related to whether Welsh Pony/James Spooner would be running by mid-August. Given that the recently completed repair work on Welsh Pony was to cure a hot box problem rather than anything to do with the boiler, I would hope...

    Quite remarkable statement really given the size of the FR's fleet, only 3 locos are in long term storage, everything else is either active or under repair. I remember reading something that it is current policy to keep locos operational, as...

    Yes the boiler and tanks are toast but an interesting museum piece . The bogies are an incomplete set of worn out bits.

    A later shot when Standard tanks were rostered. This comes courtesy of the SVS Nine Elms site that is full of Southern anecdotes from steam days most of which are from those who actually worked the trains. https://svsfilm.com/nineelms/index.htm...

    As a lad, living in Wimbledon, my meagre finances didn't stretch far so the service for postal workers between Clapham Junction and Kensington Olympia was a great opportunity to get behind steam at low cost. I stumbled over it by chance when I...

  15. أعجب silversteellady بمشاركة stumpytrain' في موضوع South Devon Mixed Traction weekend 20 & 21 June.

    I followed the TKh around for most of Sunday, so I can perhaps add a bit of context regarding the timetable. One of the issues on Saturday appears to have been an underestimation of how long watering would take. The TKh only has a relatively...
