    I'm not sure I wholly agree. Certainly I think some railways are too focussed on the commercial at the expense of the heritage - I won't deny that. And in the case of the NYMR I think they're both overly focussed on the commerical and apparently...

    Completely disagree - to survive they all or at the very least the majority need to be commercially minded with their business model bearing in mind that the majority of passengers (and target market) are tourists and the leisure sector.

    7 coaches - 2 TSO: 2 x 64 =128 2 TSO: 2 x 60 =120 1 Easy Access = 48 1 BKO = 39 1 RMB = 44 Total capacity = 128 + 120 + 48 + 39 + 44 = 379 seats 2 trains per day = 758 seats capacity/ day

    With the wheels balanced, surely a quick win is to build up the kit of parts that are to hand to build up the tender. It was mentioned in January, and see no reason to not start, manpower dependent. As @Sheff says, fitting the boiler, without...

    If nothing else, it'd give the Trust something to crow about at their Convention.

    I used to work on the Wheel Balancer occasionally at BREL York as a relief machinist. A Wheel set came to me direct from the wheel lathe. I would then set it up on the balancer rollers bolted by the threaded connection on the axle end, driven by...

    I would have thought the tyres would be considerably more uniform than the centres. Presumably Tornado has disc wheels, so the machining for balancing would look different. I seem to remember from the RCTS books that the LNER did not originally...

    Just can’t get those LNER knock-on weights any more. I don’t recall this happening on Tornado’s tender wheels. Assume you’d have to repeat every time they fit new tyres?

    I want to say that I honestly regret any comments which might have made me come across as being judgemental on situations I don't know about. We can always strive to be better on these things and not point the finger and be critical of things we...

    No 6. Nothing has happened yet, but I this is what I think it might be eventually... No 7A - just keep taking the tablets, something will come to pass eventually :-)
