While that is generally true, there are a lot of locos that used vacuum on the loco and had no steam brake. This arrangement was used on the standard gauge by some GWR (all?) and LNER locos, and is also used on NGG16 Garratts.

and some southern locos i.e the Lord Nelson class and the schools class

ah Cheltenham possibly the best engine there cant wait till we get her on the mid hants and take her hill climbing

nope its still missing a few bits

ah just back from York after a weekend helping with 925 Cheltenham what a weekend

hi all

anyone going to railfest???

humm looks and sounds like the valve timing is out i wonder what type of blast pipe she has

Better still Triple headed, with all the successful replicas that have come out of Boston Lodge recently and of course Tornado we could build 30586 again ! you could even use some of 30586's original parts for instance i believe 30585 is carrying the dome cover from 30586 as well as a few other bit...

no 30585 is owned by the Buckinghamshire railway centre

umm 30585 is currently in ticket and is based at the Buckinghamshire railway center.

HS2 = wast of money

it wont earn back the money invested
it will cost a lot more than has been said
the track bed will be about 50 meters from by back garden

edit: having just had a look at the posted link i now realise some ones taking the mickey

sorry to hear about your loss don't give in to them. Personally id be going out on a vengeance mission :twisted: thank goodness i live with someone who would stop me from doing such things ;) id recommend getting some cctv cameras fitted even if they are fake ones, it may well make the b*****ds thin...

i must admit that i watched the whole thing.......from a pub in the Caribbean the ships company got the day off to watch the wedding

Ah, poor Meenglas. As one of the railway magazines once pointed out, it's an absolubte scandal that she's rusting away outside when there is enough room in the building for her... tell me about it me and my dad put an offer in for the pair of them last year but no one is sure who owns them so they ...

:shock: :shock: :shock: that CDR class five looks lovely, is it scratch built or is it a kit :lol: its a shame that two of the three survivors aren't looked after this one is No.4 Meenglas (originally No.16 Donegal) Columbkill (the one in the pic) lives in the building behind Meenglas http://i806.ph...

congratulations on passing out as a fireman. I remember the day i passed out on the Severn valley, all the early mornings suddenly seem worth it ;) although i must say ever since i passed out i haven'd done done many turns on the SVR possibly something to do with sailing round the worlds oceans:lol:...

i know what you mean and to be honest i have got to the stage were i wont buy off ebay to much hassle

how olds the Mamod if it was built before 1992 the paint could contain lead if it was built after 1992 the paint should be lead free.

sounds like a lead based paint to me... might be worth trying some industrial paint stripper on it?
