NWRMainLineTerminal The original E2s had no extended side tanks, and Thomas was an E2 X I remember, that meant he had the extended side tanks, and he had those since he came into the world.
NWRMainLineTerminal When did the Skarloey Railway open, when did it first have locomotives, and when was the loop around the lake added?
ROCKINATOR Going to wing this and get everything wrong I know it, 1901-9 for the opening of the skarloey railway. 1901-9 for the first loco, and I think the loop was added in the early 1920's?
Super @"NWRMainLineTerminal" Its been more than 24 hours since your question with no correct answers. It may be that a hint is needed or you have stumped the members and they give up.
NWRMainLineTerminal Ok, the opening is in the 19th century, as is the first use of steam locomotion. Adding the loop, was for the centenary. If you can get the first two, you'll get the last.
Super Its time to give up NWR, Your question has stumped the members and killer the thread, You win. 🙂 Please give us the answer and post another question to keep the game alive. Also please keep it to one question with a single answer if you could and avoid the multiple parters.
NWRMainLineTerminal Opened as gravity railway in 1806, commenced steam operations, in 1865, centenary loop was added in 1965. [size=large]Who was the first real life engine to appear in the RWS.[/size]
Super Thanks NWR I didn't know any of those answers. I increased the size of your next question to make it easier to see.
Super HenryNWR3 wrote City of Truro I don't know if thats the correct answer but I just looked it up and that engine is AWESOME!
chrisjo HenryNWR3 wrote City of Truro Pretty sure that's right, City of Truro appears in the first story ("Domeless Engines") of RWS book 13, "Duck and the Diesel Engine". Nice to be back from my holiday in Crete, I've got a lot of catching up to do!
