one word about it though STUNNING why couldn't it have recieved that 2 tone green earlier Thanks! I did the design of the new livery and how it would fit on to the loco. It is based on a well-known 1960's BR diesel livery, but all will be revealed in due course. It could have appeared earlier if it...

Re: First Bertie run - and many surprices
The fitted pressure gauge doesn't work though, just stayed at 0 despite the pressure gauge popping. Any ideas? Almost certainly not the pressure gauge at fault, but needs checking.

On the Lady Anne, Jack and others the aerial lead is connected to the dummy cab roof vent, but the vent i...

All steam engines had red inside the frames, so the crews can spot cracks and defects in the frame more easily. It also reflects light so they can generaly see more easily. That is exactly my understanding too. There is an exception to the Red Rule though, and that is Gresley A4 Pacifics that had t...
