31:52 Correct that is Ja 1250. After Auckland Anniversary weekend, we did a big shunt around the yard to move 1250 into the workshop

2:06 your not alone I also refused to film The Main North Line thanks to National which like you didn't want to buy them rubbish Thomas 2D reboot toys.

The low pressure side needs more volume because as the steam expands over the course it powering the high pressure side the volume increases, the aim of the game being to have sufficient volume of partially expanded steam admitted on the low pressure side and sufficient space and time for it to expand and act on the piston in the low pressure side in a way that matches the output of the high pressure side. You could also do this by having a longer stroke instead of a bigger bore but this introduces all sorts of problems of it's own. It was very much a gimmick in most cases and quite impractical in terms of extra labour maintaining the additonal parts of all these systems when compared to the cost of running a simple 2 cylinder loco that might consume a little extra coal and water. Makes a great deal of sense on a ship where you have limited resources of coal and fresh water to work but on a railway where you pass multiple water sources and can easily supply coal along longer routes its not worth it

Man information is very scarce about the Mallet I think it has around 9800 Ponds of tractive effort but I'm not sure.

Dont worry had a mishap on Saturday at ferrymead so your not alone but mine was just stupid wont go into context

Shame you can't make it over to the Awdry event this year, although there were some right weird people last year. It was worse, as they copied what a few of us had did on Awdry 2

I don't quite follow the bit about weird people, although I'm not sure if I want to know what they were doing.

I remember going there. I really loved the show, but not that stupid reboot which is an insult to my childhood.

What are the black engines like are there 3 Thomas’s

I don't think the WWs were supposed to have names, but I did overhear one Dad say to his son that they were meant to be Donald and Douglas (despite looking nothing like the Caledonian Railway 812 class, let alone 0-6-0s). WW 480 had nameplates reading 'Terry' on the DOWT weekend in 2007, but I don't know why the GVR didn't give her and 644 names this time around.
