Full size railway reference and picture thread
Re: Full size railway reference and picture thread
Very nice, thankyou!
Strangely, despite having been a lifelong railway enthusiast and the large number of 'em around, I don't think I've ever ridden behind a Black 5...

Re: Full size railway reference and picture thread
So great to hear a steam loco working hard.
Thanks for the video.

Re: Full size railway reference and picture thread
Work is progressing well on the full sized replica of one of the Southwold Sharp Stewart 2-4-0T locos. Shouldn't be long now before it's in steam ....

Wow that slipped right under the radar! What's left?
Doesn't Southwold have a IoM Beyer?

You'll have to scale up your plans and print them a couple of carriages to go with it Rik...
I knew it was happening, but I hadn't realised they'd got this far either. Doesn't sound like there'll be much line for it to run on, which is a shame given that it'll be such a lovely loco. Maybe it could go on holiday to the IoM?
Cheers.
Andrew.

As long as they pay for the plastic filament .....
I'm sure it will eventually do the rounds, maybe even skipping over to Ireland. I suppose they could always run it down the High Street, as happened in the Titfield Thunderbolt...

Re: Full size railway reference and picture thread
From what I gather the locals (or the wealthy weekend ones anyway) don't feel even remotely Titfield-ish about "their" railway, hence the difficulty in achieving anything more than a short length of line. Which is a great shame...
Re: Full size railway reference and picture thread
Yes. It's unfortunate that all the plans (five or six) to reopen sections of the line have been opposed by a vocal group who seem to think it will ruin the tranquility of the neighbourhood. They seem to forget that the railway was largely responsible for creating the community which they now value so highly.

Re: Full size railway reference and picture thread
That's terrifying! Yet they all seem to be taking it perfectly in their stride, even when they crash.
I love the little German line in the second film too, very characterful...
Cheers,
Andrew.

Re: Full size railway reference and picture thread
It might not be major engineering progress, but to me it's a significant step - the rear buffer beam of the Southwold Sharpie has been lined.

Re: Full size railway reference and picture thread
That does look nice Rik.

Re: Full size railway reference and picture thread
Going through my digital 'archive' I came across some photos taken in 2014 of the Darjeeling B class No.778 (formerly No.19) when it was the star attraction at a South Tynedale Railway 'Indian Summer' event at Alston, Cumbria.
I've combined the photos here to make the most of the 2 photo limit, but if you wish to view the photos at a larger size, they are available on my Flikr feed. https://www.flickr.com/gp/peerjay56/bvrCcB There is also a better view of the cab on Flikr.
Sample views of the front of the loco and the rolling stock _
Three quarter views of the loco and train, and of the various makers/rebuild plates on the locomotive. _
Obviously the tender is not original Darjeeling practice - AIUI it was added to meet the need for air braking to enable it to run on British light railways. Likewise the air hose connections on the rolling stock are not as per original stock.
