You've forgotten the key limitation: COST! Different visitors will have different wishes; what we need to do is focus on those who intend to buy...
Just to respond to this - engines need crews. We simply do not have enough of them to put every available loco out. The more engines you have...
Jon, There's some cracking shots there. I'm glad you've enjoyed yourself, and thank you for your offer to support our appeal. Ed NYMR Driver
TBH, that's a waste of a hire fee. Better to get it into the shed, and get it sorted; we're going to need that engine in a few weeks time.
"City of Peterborough" is supposed to be making a visit, as a "return favour" for 30926 going to Wansford last year. Obviously, subject to it...
The counter point here is actually how SMALL (300 or so) the number of people actively involved on the NYMR is, and just what it takes to resource...
Not at all. 9F's, like WD 2 10 0's have flangeless centre driving wheels, ie they are effectively 2 4 2 4 0's. Eight coupled locos are far more rigid.
What you say is correct, and the cause of most of the noise heard. I assumed that Richard & Chirs realised that already; what I posted was...
Let's not forget that NER engines are RHD. IIRC, some LNER standard types,built for use in the North East were also adapted to RHD.
That is a credit to diesel preservation. There are too many locos sitting on preserved lines, without a clear plan & fundraising scheme to return...
John Beesley - very well known, good kit, esp the greasetops, but expensive. You should also take a look at the NYMR shed shop for footplate...
Lots of half understanding in this thread. You're refering to the GW system, with the jockey valve on the regulator. The last portion of the...
Black Book Page 59! Steam operated cylinder drain cocks. The actuating lever also operates the steam supply to the atomisers for the cylinder...
Leather Drivers bags seriously cost, and to be honest, I wouldn't feel that you need to buy loads of expensive kit when you are just starting out....
Firemen aren't the problem - wc have a couple of youngsters off the Moors. Drivers are a different problem. You can't just crash train someone...
Where are the crews going to come from, esp. drivers? That's going to be the killer...
I suspect that you wont find a figure in any publication aimed at operating staff, for the reason we both understand. However, there has to be...
I don't see why confidentiality should come into it. There is no point in issuing a safety warning, if everyone is not told about it. For...
You should NEVER rely on any form of continuous brake after the loco has been detached.
I am not going to post a view on what has happened here. However, if someone has got some decent footage of the incident, with good quality sound,...
