A new build Lion would be first on my list I think! There's a group looking to do just that. We've the drawings, the patterns for wheels and a boiler design (100psi so we can use injectors). Oh, and it would be to the original design, not the "what if" produced by the LMS in 1929...... Al...

Full Size Railways

I was just wondering how many of us on this forum have our railways as "Bus Men's Holidays" or are volunteers on the real thing? I suspect quite a high number!

I'm a fireman on Planet at MOSI. She's my little baby :D

It was only in the steam tram era that reversible bench seats became common upstairs along with a flatter roof profile. .................... or even just a roof, to keep some of the smuts off the passengers! The Liverpool & Manchester way back in 1830 had reversible seats in their open 2nd Clas...

Well done on making a start Mine is the 'Reddish Vale Light Railway' named after the country park five minutes walk from my house. The stations (Somerford, Windmill Lane) are named after real streets. There's a sort of fictitious history it was built to serve the Calico Print works which were once i...
