Brake shoes on the leading bogie wheels. Someone took their remit seriously! Very impressive. What can anyone tell me about the state of play...
And scrapping the block, designing and making a new one, and all the associated knock on's wont be expensive.....? Making a dramatic change at...
The P2 group have committed to the Lentz gear, right? Now that major components are made, you would be insane to switch to something else at this...
It needs proper modelling, stress and a motion study. Its more than a simple on paper job to make it all that it can be. It requires someone to...
Interesting development. The project 100% needs good engineering leadership to be successful. That tends to come at a price. Given the technical...
Trick question. Residual thermal stress from welding on the inner wrapper should get washed out with the fact there is above 600C for longer than...
Ah nice, thank you for this! Makes sense to use more of these, but this doesnt get us to the answer on why we have assymmetric staying on the...
This is becoming a pretty hilarous discussion on geometry! Saying in which plane the U resides is probably the way to avoid all this churn....
The U shaped found rings have the U section on the inside... Struggling to understand why anyone would think they are on the outside... I would...
Oh, there is a lot more work left than I had realised. Is the valve gear desgin actually frozen yet?
From memory, is it not that the channel found rings are drop forged? the ones in the corners do see a lot of load. Just spotted the assymetric...
Well, it looks good, and it has arrived, so thats also highly positive. This does mark a fundamental milestone in the project, but the machine...
Copper coating the inside surface of the firebox, that is fire side, would last about 10 of a hot coal fire, I imagine. Not sure of the value of...
If anyone is labouring under the delusion that only “hobby engineers” can be afflicted with the curse of counterfeit fasteners, allow me to very...
Do we foresee the P2 hauling 15 or 16 coaches out of Stonehaven any time soon... Its still a 1930s design fundamentally, but with modern...
