What, the rife speculation that metal fatigue (due to a stick valve) probably wasn’t the cause, despite the incontrovertible fact that it was the...
What, when there was a legitimate mechanical failure and some tried to blame witchcraft, bad management and the cows coming home before accepting...
I wouldn’t worry if I were you. the next overhaul will roll around, and it will inevitably be problematic (because nearly all mainline steam...
Any Aberdonian's?
Wages should absolutley not be half of turnover, more like a third at most! Cost of delivering services, true cost, including track wear and tear,...

Is there any news on the Grantown extension?
Indeed, but the recieving clinet will have a drawing that the boiler should comply to, and of course a dimensional report will be on hand...
This farily making progress! Well done to all involved!
Boiler due in APril according to TCC in tornado thread. Exciting! Im guessing here that they have gone with the same design as the A1 then, with...

The Tay Bridge situation of only working there to Ferryhill is odd to me, im guessing part of that was the constraints on MPDs in and around...
Appreciated. Im going in to this cold. What is the design they are proceeding with and why is it flawless?
A scale model will need to account for scale wear and tear. Its imperitive to understand the forces and stresses on the individual components. As...
Typically this is done with heat, and the steel is at the correct condition & material specification before its pressed. There are also rules on...
Expense I can believe. If one has a decent radial drill or similar in house, outsourcing such a large part to a 3rd party will always feel more...
Please might someone correct me if im wrong, but have we recently moved in to an era of fabricated tube plates, as opposed to pressed ones? This...
