Went for a bimble to Swanage and Sandbanks today as the weather was perfect.
Bumped into a lovely bit of kit....
Overlooking Sandbanks....

Nice day for it!
Funnily enough I had a few days off last week for my wife's birthday and we went to Cottage Lodge hotel in Brockenhurst - highly recommended!
Hired some bikes from the place behind the railway station (Cycle Experience - great service, also recommended) and went for a 21 mile bike ride along disused railway lines etc. Came back after about 5 hours - and the odd Guinness along the way! - and the barriers were down with lots of people standing around with their phones at the ready - only saw the Flying Scotsman on its way down to Swanage! Made our day too - a wonderful locomotive.

It looks nice and sounds terrific but it’s basically a reproduction. It was rebuilt and altered several times by LNER and BR in its working lifetime, then by Pegler, Macalpine and who knows since. It has more in common with the new build Tornado than Doncaster works in May 1928. Would you honestly want to travel in anything that old at 70 mph plus? Rather like HMS Victory, where the timber has been almost completely replaced since Trafalgar. I think the only reliably genuine bit is Nelson’s death location. Us Brits are a bit good at kidding ourselves . Never mind, it’s a good story. For now, at least, our F-types are authentic!
Interestingly, I watched a few videos of the train at around the 100mph mark and just couldn't get my head around the sheer weight and mass of metal flying around at an amazing rate i.e drive from the pistons to the wheels.
Thanks for the info...I'm happy not to take the train for the mo

We have had it up in Yorkshire I think last year we saw it at Pickering while out on bikes. Stunning. Although Sandbanks is equaly stunning. Bought a classic Suzuki GT 550 triple from a rich guy down there a couple of years ago. Lovely place. Yes you guessed he was a property developer.

The power of steam is amazing. My friend builds Model steam engines & traction engines & you cannot believe the pulling power for such a small unit. He even makes his own crankshaft's very clever guy.Tel wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2019 7:46 pmInterestingly, I watched a few videos of the train at around the 100mph mark and just couldn't get my head around the sheer weight and mass of metal flying around at an amazing rate i.e drive from the pistons to the wheels.

We follow a lot of Steam rallys, and I've seen small traction engines take on some big multi engined machinery at tractor pulling...no competition!
Steam cars always amaze me at the instantaneous acceleration available...just a shame that you need to stop every 5 minutes for water!

For sure it’s been changed rebuild and modded by many to keep it going and could be argued to be Triggers broom, but surely it’s better this and keeping it safe and functional, than having ended up as scrap. Arguably better this than like the Mallard that just gets dragged from its museum stand every few years
I’m sure it gives pleasure to millions
