  1. It's Murder on the [RMweb] Dance Floor

      Was it Handbags yet again by any chance?

  2. Webpage scraping is unfortunately rife, the main culprits being the large tech firms filling their boots to bolster their AI credentials. Many web sites are now adding nofollow and noindex tags to prevent such theft. https://www.lumar.io/blog/best-practice/noindex-disallow-nofollow/ (But I suspect you probably know about this anyway.)
  3. Red Panda stuff is absurdly good - is it still manufactured? (I suspect not.)
  4. I picked up a copy recently, about £6 I think, have just started to read. My Mogul knowledge has now ramped up!
  5. Ooooh, just a thought - on a crimson lake 517, there is a question over the colour of the valence. My guess is probably black.
  6. (I've got quite a bit of catching up to do on this thread - can't remember where I last left off.)
  7. Yes, tank tops, footplate and splasher tops in black, tool boxes and sandboxes in crimson. Here's a Lee Marsh chocolate 517 for a guide (except for the lining of course!!)
  8. I have never seen a picture of a crimson lake 517 with lining. Apparently, crimson lake for a few 517s was tried in 1919, by which time, lining on tanks had fallen out of fashion. I sometimes wonder if this pic of 828 (Swindon, 1921, looks like it is just out of the shops) is in crimson lake, and there is clearly no lining on it.
  9. Don't forget to allow for smoke deflectors on the undersides of gantry signals, where these were fitted (some companies seem to like them, others did not).
  10. Looks like the Practical Wireless circuit vintage 1972.
  11. 3338 - topfeed but seems like no box/cover for the firebox side! Still with polished splasher beading and wooden roof but I can't detect any lining, so maybe 1917-19?
  12. I feel this is something a host should do automatically.
  13. The later versions of the AMR Handheld from Len Rich had such a switch. And that was getting on for 40 years ago.
  14. I feel the radii in your footplate kink are a bit too small - here is the Finney etch, where there is nearly no straight part inbetween:
  15. I agree that topfeed and boxes/covers go together. The cover on 3335 was a non-standard shape (see this post).
  16. The thing on the right-hand side of the smokebox is the smokebox damper, common at the time. They fell out of fashion c 1918. Very difficult to tell the tender capacity - I suspect it is 2500g, because of the presence of the small springs, although small springs could still be found on 3000g units around that time.
  17. Yes, big coal lumps, also noticeable in those pics that both 4572 and 4526 take advantage of the lamp shield to coal to the max.
  18. https://www.cs.rhul.ac.uk/~adrian/steam/RCHWagons/index.html
  19. I've got a suspicion the positioning of the ATC varied a bit across the class. (Westbury, 1958)
  20. Undated, but typical early to late-20s. 4407 at Newton, with extended bunker, no cab shutters, front struts fitted, V-shaped cab rainstrip, and looks like a flush-riveted front smokebox ring.
  21. Thin parallel chimney would be normal for 1919/20.
