Re: Mallard, Bitten and the rest
Hmmm, given modern LPG fired high pressure flash boilers that heat up in mere minutes and produce no ash that requires extensive cleaning out, might a return to steam, perhaps steam turbines driving a generator and thence multiple distributed axles, be a realistic possibility ?

Re: Mallard, Bitten and the rest
I used to commute past Southall Railway Centre every morning and evening. Always used to see running steam engines going in or out of there. Convinced them to let me come and poke around (the joys of being a journo!) but never did get to take them up on it in the end.
I write words for money - but not here. If you think my words here are written to the same standard as my words for money elsewhere, you're wrong. Have a nice day.
