Are you claiming that there was really nothing at all wrong with the L1s once the leaks had been fixed? Or was it rather than (like most designs)...
There are headings in small print at the top of the page, but it's not immediately obvious that "Railtours" only shows those other than the...
Most overhaul teams seem to prefer to say "It will be ready when it's ready"; but the A1 Trust has a very different business model from most of...
I hope no-one here would disagree with that (except perhaps on the aesthetics and slight benefit of the A4s' streamlining). But was there anything...
That statement was indeed perfectly correct but it was your making the contrast with divided drive (rather than with the third set of valve gear)...

It was you who implied that divided or unified drive was significant when you said "divided drive locomotives had better availability than the...
One problem is uncertainty whether someone is already negotiating behind closed doors. If anyone is, a bare "watch this space" statement would be...
If I were buying that house I would be asking who is responsible for ensuring the viaduct doesn't fall down, and what exactly happens if serious...

Any fool can start a project. Some have. The question is whether enough people could be found to complete the 7027 project.
I'm losing track of what is the argument. We know that the conjugated gear had some flaws, which were most significant in wartime conditions. What...
No, it needs more than that; enough people to provide all the labour and money.
The fact that lots of them are in regular operation shows that they are viable with appropriate volunteer support and fundraising. None are viable...
Thank you. That is a very clever arrangement and seems intuitively to be less prone to degraded performance through wear than Gresley's levers.
Point of order: conjugated valve gear was superseded by a third set of Walschaerts. That happened to be combined with a change to divided drive,...
I don't think the highlighted statement is true. What some are saying is that saving 7027 is unlikely to be viable, one reason being the number of...
I'm half tempted to do one of those that miss Carlisle for the sake of the Upperby curve, especially if the Watford PU continues for those, but...
I see that N1, S1 and S2 identify rakes of coaches, but what do they mean? How do they relate to the timetable?
What can be seen in that photo looks like a rocking shaft giving 180º out of phase for one inside cylinder; which would imply four cylinders in...
