Nothing unusual. 'Antwerp' used to take 6 on the NYMR which does have some uphill bits, unlike the GCR, which is dowhill in both directions. ;)
Can I drive it please, mister? :):):)
I was going to suggest something similar. IANAA but the real reason why something was capitalised or not was to do with which column of the...
I thought that was gnerally the norm everywhere. Only railway enthusiasts subscribe to the idea that the identity was according to the frames.
Probably because they wanted something better than chocolate & cream. :D;)
Best wishes for Christmas and the forthcoming year, Mike. See you sometime.
Either you’ve got a fantastic memory with incredible recall or you maintain an equally fantastic reference book. :)

That book by Adrian has passed me by and it’s a bit late to ask Santa for it now but I’ll have to save my pennies and get it. It will be...

Er..... I hope that no inner firebox ever gets near 600C, even for a short time. If it does, its time for serious panic. The plates are kept...
Spot on.
Interpretation ( I think) The slewing of the headhunt to connect with the running line has been completed. The Q6 will now be moved before the...
I've only had experience of the three piece arrangement. Not come across a two piece one. Presumably that requires a sperical seat machining on...
I wonder what that does to their supposed flexibility?
I'm glad that I'm not the only one to be confused by @W.Williams statement. U shaped foundation rings are forged to that profile and certainly...
The plan is indeed to slew the headhunt over to the running line this coming week. I understand it’s not quite that easy as the two lines aren’t...
As I understand it from reading on here the boiler on Tornado is its original, refurbished. The asymmetric boiler currently being discussed is new.
Looking at the pictures, the foundatio ring doesn't look to be a U shape, a la Bulleid light pacific. It could be a built up channel section, though.
