Re: L.m.s Crab 42859 Yes, and apparently not. Pieces of them were seen at Riddels yard in Horncastle, LN9 5PN late last week. Amazing in this...
Re: L.m.s Crab 42859 That seems like a very old picture, I am told pre-2004. This is a pic I got from the NB loco preservation group which was...
Cox had some strange ideas about some things. His Locomotive Panorama books were a pretty good overview of the locomotives he discussed in those...
It wouldn't be authentic. Primarily because 45562 was a vertical throatplate engine, whereas 45699 has a sloping throatplate. There are other...
What's suspicious about hiding high value items? I don't get that. That's what you would do. I don't know the detail, but I've seen a list of...
You're forgetting 35025, which has been mentioned this week on another thread. In which connection there's obviously a big heap of parts lurking...
I think you'll find that it was the other way around. The components were stolen two or three weeks before they due to be transported away....
Yes, well everyone can see that. But there's also a degree of lynch mob mentality which arises whenever Carnforth is mentioned, which is quite...
Maybe another example of loose journalism (having another poke at Carnforth) and everyone reading it will believe it (urban myth material), or...
That's a load of nonsense isn't it. With all the thefts that are going on, there has to some sort of security. As an aside, I don't know about...
You have to go back more than twenty years to see the reason for that. A fairly well known (in railway circles) journalist kept badgering David...
Ah yeah. You mean a bit like - use an 8F boiler to make a county. A bit of plastic filler and some paint, no-one will notice the difference.
Yes, and judging from some of what one reads, the same kind of thinking still prevails today.
Oh No! Believe me, they were very different engines. They might have looked similar at first glance, but the performance was like chalk and...
You obviously don't know or remember much about the politics that went on when 35018 was at Ropley. I can remember a time when volunteers were...
Unfortunately you're overlooking the problems caused by oversize stays. There are limits, which have to adhered to. In any case it is the stay...
One thing is for sure. They have to spend it wisely and not let it get to their heads and pour it down the drain as so often happens.
That argument is a non starter. It assumes that little or no copper will be required to repair the 8F firebox, and I know for sure that is not the...
You misunderstood. Vendor in this case means the supplier of the alteration work, not the original boiler. I used the word vendor to emphasise...
Richard Watkin is one of the very few people around who actually knows what he's doing with boilers. But he is also the vendor in this case. Even...
