    2 weeks to cut up 46243 City of Lancaster

    The way it was enforced was that the locomotives never actually belonged to the scrapping companies. They paid an agreed price, which was the...

    35011 "GSN" to be restored

    The reason I asked, is that it seems to me that there are too many people on the sidelines sniping and heckling, without actually knowing very...

    35011 "GSN" to be restored

    I can't recall exactly where I passed it. Somewhere around Gloucester/Worcester I think. I was on my way back from Plymouth. It was dark and was...

    35011 "GSN" to be restored

    That's certainly true. I was told that the wheelset taken out of 35011 and put in Braunton was in absolutely excellent condition, which surprised...

    What is the long term future for the unrestored Barry engine

    You only 'think' do you. You don't really know. But you still chose to make some somewhat nasty comments, and I dare say not much actual...

    35011 "GSN" to be restored

    I passed 35011 heading north up the M5 towards Birmingham just over an hour ago. I'd heard a few months ago it might be staying at Williton, but...

    What is the long term future for the unrestored Barry engine

    Because you know it would be well justified. So what was the purpose? A quick glance down that list and the comments, as someone has already...

    Bulleid Pacifics - Past or Present

    As far as I remember they have five. From 35006, 35008, 35011, 35018 and 35021.

    If you're referring to the turbo, that's only correct in the sense that it was tried out with boiler 9100 (now on 46203) whilst its own was under...

    70000 Britannia

    70013 has boiler 982 in fact, and that's correct, it doesn't have the same problem.

    70000 Britannia

    There are a few people who have made the same mistake of assuming only one boiler was like that. Several of the early boilers had the same...

    I've been told it's going to be restored at Sellinge when time and manpower allows. There are other projects to complete first. Also heard that...

    Bulleid Pacifics - Past or Present

    It's not profound. It's wrong. Two of the BB's were converted in 1958, and another two in 1959. Likewise seven of the WC's were done in 1961, and...

    Bulleid Pacifics - Past or Present

    That's rather misleading. I haven't noticed 34051 being anywhere close to working. Typical SR error. There's almost one for every page they print.
