Just be careful with which one you choose as they can make folk quite drowsy.

Re: Coniston Bye laws/Ruskin
Reading that was enough to give you a nosebleed. 😄
I don’t generally look at the PH forum after knowing what a bear pit it is so I give it a wide berth.
After reading the last posts on here I thought I would go and have a look to see what this was all about and I too noticed a couple of interesting points. Firstly, I too noticed there are two very distinct writing styles in prose and grammar for ‘William Norwood’ so there has to be two people using the same log on.
Secondly you can tell by their last post that Novie posting on this forum has really, really needled ‘William Norwood’ almost as if it was personal. Ironic that they mock our Novie for his spelling and grammar yet theirs is atrocious in comparison.

Should have left the Teabag in longer. Oh wait, that was before his time.

Re: Coniston Bye laws/Ruskin
The one thing I struggle to understand is how we can go from the highs of Bute with Gina singing our praises and talk of running K7 globally to swinging the baseball bat at our legs as Richie succinctly put it. What was the trigger for this about face and treachery? As a point Gina has changed tack ...

Re: Off the Rails - Train Stuff
Copper nob is an old Furness Railway engine (No3) that was on display outside the station at Barrow in an ornate glass case until the station was bombed by the Luftwaffe. The loco is now in the NRM at York still bearing the shrapnel scars. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcSE8S...

I can ask at the local museum to see if they have any drawings Richie

Why such an aggressive tone in your postings?
If you are representative of the Ruskin or Coniston it’s not doing you any favours in name calling and being aggressive.

Re: Off the Rails - Train Stuff
Probably because carrying a condenser and a way of cooling it would be difficult, bulky and no outside source to cool except fresh air.
Take nuclear subs for example, still driven by steam via turbines and gearboxes but instead of coal, uranium. The nuclear reaction heats the primary circuit to many hundreds of degrees which is also pressurised to prevent it boiling. This is pumped via the heat exchangers and in turn heats the feed water pumped via the condenser hot wells to the feed pumps. This is then heated and turned into steam but must have most of the moisture removed as not to damage your turbine blades on your main engines and turbo generators. After that it’s into the condensers which are in turn cooled by seawater heat exchangers and round it goes again with various chemicals added to the feed water to keep everything happy. 🤓
