Way before. The GWR and Armstrong goods are an example. Some were built as renewals, and given the numbers of withdrawn locomotives, and some on...
AIUI 111, 4000, 4009, 4016, 4032 and 4037 were not classified as renewals. 4037 and I think 4000 had very major repairs post war, 4037 at least...
Cook is quite unequivocal about there being a potential saving in upgrading Star to Castle. There was probably no-one better informed on the...
And with the same principle a number of old small locomotives might be withdrawn and replaced by a smaller number of larger locomotives for the...
In his book "Swindon Steam", Ken Cook, the GWR's assistant works manager at the time, records that the Star renewals as Castles were done because...
I would be utterly gobsmacked to hear that an ISO9001 registered boilermaker had changed the specification unilaterally because they were a piece...
Or, just maybe, it could be based on experience with the other boiler. Has anyone compared a photo of the boiler on Tornado as its currently...
Its very well established legislation used all the time by the motor trade etc. So legal complications seem unlikely.
That's the legislation being quoted AIUI. So potentially very controversial as the 'owner' , again AIUI, doesn't get a say in what happens.
Is it me, or is this thread descending into rehearsing what anyone wishing and in a position to buy a locomotive would find blindingly obvious?
I suspect that wishing not to saddle their heirs with a relatively illiquid asset that will be subject to inheritance tax will be a major part of it.
Not just temperature, there are also electrochemical effects to consider. I know absolutely nothing about the subject in detail, but understand...
Simple sums should tell us that GWS locomotives will typically spend at least twice as long on display between overhauls as they will with an...
I didn't spot this post at the time, but I now have a GWR document listing minimum curves, and also some other comments. The 14xx was basically a...
An even more critical statistic might be the age of the main support and volunteer base compared to the likely finishing date of the project. Any...

What reputational damage? Anyone liable to be involved in procurement for the industry is going to be very much aware of the circumstances.
Just thought I'd go through my 1958 Observers book and count up all the classes originated in the 19thC GWR 1.5 (Dukedog = 19thC chassis, 20thC...
Its interesting how it worked out. There's very little pre Churchward GWR because Collett and Hawksworth did a major fleet refresh of six wheeled...
And yet more Terriers have survived than all pre WW1 GWR locomotives put together!
