brianusa Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Having seen and heard the word 'bogie' seemingly forever, how did it get the name? Also, when did its alternative, 'pilot' come into being? Its used more over here as that was when I first heard of it. Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted February 9, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 9, 2018 Why does it have LMS cylinders? Well, that's rather impertinent, coming from one sentenced to many years on the Naughty Step, without hope of remission, parole or apple crumble, but perhaps you should consider it this way - 'why do LMS locos have GWR cylinders?' 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's missing some metal rods though to help make the wheels go round and round. Stanier was obviously a quick learner and soon added these missing bits to his own locomotives.

RMweb Gold teaky Posted February 10, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 10, 2018 There's something slightly disturbing about that donkey. Even more so if Noddy's bedroom is on the first floor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castle Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) Hi All, No. 5322 is known as ‘The Donkey’ at 81E as it bucked about a bit due to its poor valve timing on its first steaming after overhaul the last time round - I’ve been on that, driven it, but not nodded at it. That’s a genuine GWR nodding donkey - does this make it more authentic? I will nod at it the next time I’m on shed and report back...

sp1 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 This morning I have been mostly nodding at my Dapol GWR Railcar - had to test it, as you do - arrived yesterday from Sheffield at a bargain price. I will adjourn to the sleeping quarters shortly though to contemplate the finite existence of the 5 pints of Batham’s finest bitter that I have also just tested...... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
