    Clacton Express Preservation Group - Class 309 EMU

    Travelled on these quite often in the early 1980's - was familiar with them from the 1960's. The usual formation had more power than a Deltic!

    I don't think anyone can disagree that the best run motive power department (including all aspects , fixed plant as well) was the GWR. But it did...

    Sir Nigel Gresley - The L.N.E.R.’s First C.M.E.

    The crux of the matter is really Gresley's health, and to a lesser extent the loss of Bullied to the Southern. Had he been fully fit it's likely...

    Edward Thompson: Wartime C.M.E. Discussion

    Probably an unresolvable debate. The V4's were the most advanced engines Gresley produced, and undoubtedly had he not died early there would have...

    Yes, I think it was fortunate to be allocated to the old GER where the K3's did more 'top end' mixed traffic work - elsewhere by the 50's they...

    Sir Nigel Gresley - The L.N.E.R.’s First C.M.E.

    He believed it would reduce wear and tear, have less impact on the track than certainly a 2 cylinder design, and produce a smoother riding engine....

    Sir Nigel Gresley - The L.N.E.R.’s First C.M.E.

    I think you'll find it was a deliberate decision at board level to liven up the company's image. At which it most certainly succeeded.

    GWR 94xx Pannier Tanks, ex-Edward Thompson Thread.

    Always liked the 15xx. Remember seeing them as station pilots at Paddington ca. 1961. For me a really good looking engine, and should have been an...

    Takes all sorts :) The Crab's certainly do have a 'presence'. And their L&YR heritage is pretty plain to see despite the silly tender.

    I think the Crab's were very highly regarded in their day, and certainly more versatile than the K1's - no-one would be happy to see a K1 on the...

    It's certainly a valid point that by 1960ish BR was overstocked with passenger tanks due to mass introduction of DMU's/EMU's and the L1's were...
