600HP I believe - the same EE 4SRKT can only manage 88 tons in Hampshire-unit form "over the Alps"... (A full 3-car set is 118 tons, though of...
@gricerdon @The Gricing Owl This weekend should be 30506 and 41312, subject to the usual caveats.
30506 and 41312
Yes and No - that is, 30506 is booked for 15/16, but locos for 18th not yet known.
That's a treadle - basically a small switch that's activated by the wheels as the train goes over. They're used for signalling purposes on bits of...
The name would have been carried from 1930 through to when the loco was sent back to the mainland in 1947 - it didn't carry a name when in BR livery.
Just the one - 2510. IMHO if a new-build were ever considered for the island, it'd be best to go for an early one, such as an IWR BP - that...
I think the only reasonable way you could go without needing to reverse would be Croydon - Tulse Hill - Brixton - CLJ? I can't think of any other...
Having had, until recently, relatives on the island, I can confirm that's the case...
That's because they saw you were coming from Leeds and wanted to make you feel at home ;)
Also a couple in the council-run bit of the Alresford station car-park. The Bluebell have a couple at Sheffield Park too. They're generally run...
Indeed so. It seems that it was a traditional each-car-counterweights-the-other type funicular, so presumably the cable snapped - the 'why' will...
Awful news this morning that there's been a crash on the Gloria funicular in Lisbon, with at least 16 dead....
That's where having the undercover storage makes a huge difference, especially as it's all wooden-bodied stock...
I was thinking of the 150 which only needs to go one way!
Are they cleared all the way to Alton?
This is the bit a lot of posters here don't seem to get - the 150 isn't going to be replacing a steam loco, it's going to be allowing a 2-train...
It sounded quite odd to me - not used to hearing such a quiet Diesel!
It might be easier to go to TW, but for anyone coming from the west it's a lot cheaper to go to Eridge - for me, £38 instead of £51 as it's a "not...
Probably a silly question - when a fireman refers to the 'back' and 'front' of a firebox, is that relative to your viewpoint (so 'back' is...
