While I was looking for some resource material on my next project, Staniers Turbomotive, I came across this web page;
http://www.turbomotive2.com
I would definetly support the idea, just thought, since we have some LMS fans here, might as well post this up.
My Turbomotive is nothing but a set of wheels, frames and a running plate at the moment.

Mike,

I only ever saw the Turbo arriving and departing Stafford. The most obvious thing was the lack of an exhaust beat, so heaven only knows what it sounded like at speed.

I dont know why they havnt started using gas turbines as an alternative to Diesel loco's, its cleaner but I'm not sure what the cost would be.
