As always, it is good to have answers from the Project team and to see the steady progress which is being maintained on this build. Small items...
Please note that it is running as T2 NER 2238 as it celebrated it's 100 years last year.
Ouch!!!
True, my other concern was the shock loading onto the temporary fixings/struts when the chains 'slip' each link. I reckon the lads will have it...
Went to see GSN last week, at Swindon/Cricklade Railway, whilst it looks strangely out of place for such a 'small' set-up, they have a place where...
Extremely impressed by the progress being made nowadays and the obvious careful thought given before each stage, well done to everyone and it...
Yea, like removing it with rags and putting it in a receptacle to dispose of somewhere else where it will not cause a problem! Washers only flush...
I hope this has better luck than the trip from Newcastle, Morpeth, Stockton, Darlington to Wensleydale a few years back with a dodgy WCR 47 and...
You are right Sheff. 'Water ingress and wear as a result' is the phrase quoted from Chairman Trevor Tuckley. They need £53,520 but that is...
Yea, well I am on my way to the dole after those clangers! So glad you good folk out there can keep us right. Actually I was that keen to do the...
Just a little example of the cannon boxes on the 401 Barclay at SRM, we stripped these down to expose the spherical bearings and cleaned all the...
What a shame things go so wrong, and so publicly too. I remember visiting some years ago when they invited 'Clan' to take up residence, such good...
Perhaps there is some confusion with the method being used here? It looks a bit as if a cutting torch is being used, whereas I assume they are...
If my memory serves me correctly, forgings can be straightened, because the steel is malleable, whereas castings tend to crack unless treated...
It'll be good to see No 29 return to action again in the near future! It has been a good worker in the past.
Are we getting another chimney made? Is this to suit the re-designed draughting? Would it be a new or altered pattern this time? I wonder if the...
As publicized elsewhere, 'High-tech' Bagnall 401 is at the point of steaming and entering service. It was weighed and balanced by NYMR staff on...
Already got one in store I understand. Not sure if it is a chime or not, sure it is discussed earlier in this thread:rolleyes:
.. and don't 'Clan' know it! But we learn all the time. I did wonder if the 'friction pads' were, to some extent, sacrificial, as in easier and...
From my days in structural steel engineering, I seem to recall that 'faying' surfaces had to be clean of all rust, grease paint and other material...
