    NYMR Spring Gala - 1st to 4th and 8th to 10th May

    NYMR Spring Gala - 1st to 4th and 8th to 10th May

    NYMR Spring Gala - 1st to 4th and 8th to 10th May

    TBH, that's a waste of a hire fee. Better to get it into the shed, and get it sorted; we're going to need that engine in a few weeks time.

    NYMR Spring Gala - 1st to 4th and 8th to 10th May

    Trailing Coupled Wheels: Flange Wear

    Not at all. 9F's, like WD 2 10 0's have flangeless centre driving wheels, ie they are effectively 2 4 2 4 0's. Eight coupled locos are far more rigid.

    What's happening here?

    What you say is correct, and the cause of most of the noise heard. I assumed that Richard & Chirs realised that already; what I posted was...

    Left or Right?

    50026 Indomitable
