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?

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...
Mainline connections from both ends, it would make a good cross country railway! Its worth, it, its just complicated. Like all good endevours.
Sensible? Where is the fun in that?! Im delighted this got the green light, because bluntly, no one else has the bravery to take on this project....
Grantown is more than justified. The current line terminus is practially in the middle of nowhere, and offers virtually nothing compared to what...
No idea about the A21, but from a local perspective the A95 is an arterial route, its vitally important. Level crossings and or traffic lights are...
Pushing against an open door on that im afraid. Try getting some new railway built for Scotlands two most populus areas furthest from a station......
