British Railways standard classes Very full treatment of all the Standard types, and especially the Britannia class, where all of the faults encoutered in service (with the exception of the late fault of the slide bar failure) are handled in considerable depth. Jarvis was responsible for the brilliant design work which enabled this class and sixty of the light Pacific to be modified at a reasonable cost, and yet combined the best of the Bulleid features whilst eliminating those of questionnable value, such as the thinly constructed smokebox and the oil-bath. Enginemen considered that the 9F class fitted with double chimneys were in a different class from the remainder. www.steamindex.com /locotype/brloco.htm

BRM - forum view messages However, some of these classes were numerically small - particularly the Class 3 2-6-0, The Clan Class 6 4-6-2 and the 8p 4-6-2 Duke of Gloucester. I have perchesed a bachmann standard 4 and i am about to order a hornby 9f and bachmann 4mtt and egerly awaiting for the release of the bachmann 73110 the red knight. Class 2 2-6-0 and Class 3MTT 2-6-2, were made by Triang Hornby, and may be found second hand, but bear in mind these are pretty crude by current standards. www.brmodelling.com /forum/view.asp?postID=3496

4mm loco kits Like all the BR standards, there is an abundance of plumbing on the engine and up-to-date photographs are essential to ensure accuracy - although it can be a little difficult getting a photograph of the top of the firebox where the steam manifold is located. Like all the BR standards detailed on these pages, the biggest problem is finding accurate photographs of all the external plumbing under cab sides, on the firebox and around the smokebox. Details amongst this small class of loco are different, from two or three windows on the back of the cab, to different arrangements of the access ladder on the left hand bonnet side. www.bryan20.freeserve.co.uk /kits/4mm/4mmloco.htm

Backtrack Volume 11 Cites one family (Warren) in the way that the middle classes were forced to shift to ecape the undesirable effects of railways and suggests that the brothels in Maiden Lane may have led to the name change to York Way: feature page vvv inspired this contribution.

71000 Duke of Gloucester - Modifications In Restoration Two attempts were made at producing drawings for the chimney before the desired BR Standard appearance was pronounced acceptable and K. Patterns of Peterborough made it. The Duke's steaming performance was often measured against that of the rebuilt Bulleid 'Merchant Navy' and Peppercorn 'A1/A2' Pacifics, the boilers of which were not so different dimensionally, so it made sense to compare the three types. No 71000 differed from the LNER design Pacifics in that the exhaust ports in the smokebox ran from 'port to starboard' and not 'bow to stern' - something which meant substantial redesign of the blastpipe casting. www.dukeofgloucester.co.uk /modify.htm

Mid Hants Railway's Main line Steam Railtours: photos, movies and letters tell the story to 2004 Pics of #73096 in BR service seem to be rare as I have only ever seen two and I have been looking for many years. I would say yesterday's effort was going well, probably on line for a slightly better time than 28th March, but a serious slip robbed her of a great deal of momentum as it took a couple of goes to recover. Twice this week, Wednesday 1st and Sunday 5th October, my aged father and I, have ventured out, to see 60009 "Union of South Africa", a Gresley A4 Class loco, pull a Steam Special through Havant, en route to wherever. www.watercressline.co.uk /rtlist.htm
