It was exactly what I’d have done back in my development engineering career, albeit the model phase would be significantly quicker these days with...
Well it had to have new cylinders and steam chests. No idea if it was a monobloc or three separate castings - is it relevant ?
IIRC there was going to be a scale model of the gear produced to check fit and function, followed by a test rig featuring one full scale set of...
It’d be a lot more complicated than that. You’d have to scrap the monobloc and cast 3 new cylinders c/w steam chests.
Nope.
I caught wind of it after the event, but saw it on the end of the lunch time news, don’t know if it was full length, but a real eye-opener. They...
Indeed, and very satisfying that we helped make it happen. :)
Yes, confirmed to me too.
Ooops - I forgot the 1F. Sorry I’m not old quite enough, but I know a man who might be …….
Apologies if already covered above. Locos to Haworth not from scrap, iirc … as well as 41241 there was 30072, Pugs 18 & 29, J52, 45212 also N2,...
Where do I send my money?
