Either that or the full LNER. I have photos of 3505, 3506 and 3534 with all four letters. Another of 3535 just has NE so it possibly carried both...
The earlier preserved lines did have a good idea of what was the best for them. I started at Bridgnorth in June 1969 and the stud (working order)...

As I said, different terminology between the two disciplines. I was once asked - by a motor mechanic - what the torque settings were on a steam...
Likewise in my time on the spanners, but as I found out working in Bridgnorth shed, there are many differences in accepted practice and...

The Brit cab mock-up was ordered by Riddles who wasn't happy with the first attempt, ordering more detail and a better standard of finish....
It's not that easy. There are many variations of Black Five frames from thickness to wheelbase to plain and roller bearings. They don't all...
I don't remember seeing any of those at Barry. If we're talking about pre-1968 or thereabouts, I too have a wish list. But they'd all gone by then.
Agreed it's a statement of fact - and circumstances. The lack of LNER engines, discounting big Pacifics(!) - is unfortunate but that was because...
I hope we aren't going to go down the 'Our engine's better than your engine, my dad can fight your dad' route.
On the same score, what use is a tail lamp since there isn't a Bobby to check it's there? But if you set off without one, you might have a bit of...
