Actually I beg to differ. The cylinders fitted to the 9Fs were different to those fitted to the Brits/Clans. Although cardinal dimensions such as...
I'm happy to be corrected but, I'm guessing this is a broadly similar arrangement to that used by Ivatt on his Cl4 2-6-0s that found its way...
On that point I will not opine for a number of reasons. If not already done so, I recommend SSLCo's engineers discuss this with their insurer and...
Not a comment about wheels you'll be pleased to know. Although there is much merit in your suggestion I have my reservations for a number of...
Those that have been following the Std 3 wheel debate on the Hengist thread might be pleased to know the wheels with 17 spokes will eventually be...
My my! I never thought my original post on wheel design philosophy would decend into such acrimony. For the record; the drawing I used was SL/SW...
Your postulate never was considered. There was no surviving pattern for either the Std 3 or Ivatt/BR Std 4 before the driving wheel pattern for...
As was mentioned by ghost, I didn't say the wheels were an identical design. I said they followed the same design philosophy. I.e near elliptical...
I think you'll find all the BR Standards share the Ivatt wheel design concept that was derived from Stanier's. The design philosophy of that to be...
Readers might be interested to know the various brackets that have been spotted and drilled through the frames recently have now been squared up...
Although I am not directly involved with the project I think it would be a great shame for it to be abandoned now. I know at least one of the...
http://www.82045.org.uk/index.html indicates people have suggested that this type could be an ideal candidate for limited series production. My...
Thanks for the input. In that case it makes sense to go with SGI. That information also fills another gap in my knowledge of metallurgy.
Before going too far down the road of proposing the use of SG Iron instead of steel with grey iron liners has anyone confirmed the self...
Spelling lessons to follow .-)
I'm not sure if this isn't a troll.
As someone who is very close to the pattern-making aspects of 82045 I'm sorry but I must tell you that is only partially correct. When I first...
Digressing from the main topic briefly:- Thanks for the info. My original correspondent obviously didn't have access to all the original drawings....
Many moons ago I seem to recall being informed the 9F v Brit/Clan cylinders differed only in the spacing from the frames. I.e each of the 9f's...
Confirmation that the pattern for the Combined Frame Stretcher and Brake Cylinder Support (SL/DE/21990) is complete and that for the Exhaust...
