rope runner Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I really don't know where this notion of the Caley liveried one being the only open backed cab is coming from It's the only 14" design Hattons are offering with an open cab in the first run.

SDJR7F88 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Sorry about the delay in get some close-ups of "Little Barford", was a tad cold up in the loft last week as you can imagine. Sorry about the orangey tinge in some of the images, really need to get my loft lighting sorted. Hope there of interest! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tlqVjZvklE 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I've just ordered 'Coronation'... Probably because having chicken for dinner caused me to finally makeup my mind which one... (And before anyone posts "why not have more than one" it's because I have only just enough spare money to buy one.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And before anyone posts "why not have more than one" it's because I have only just enough spare money to buy one.) Surely your spare money buys food whenever you can, whilst necessities like model steam trains take priority? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Emphasis there on spare. As in disposable. A rather unfair comment on your part, I feel, as I certainly would not class food and general living expenditure as being 'spare'. Besides which, you now have a PM.

Hroth Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I'm down for the BR Black one, seemed a logical choice as it could be converted to industrial if desired by scrubbing off the BR insignia, and a splodge of dirty black paint would cover everything neatly. However I'm definitely falling for Katie's charms! Drool..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, you only need 1 piece of chicken to know what chicken tastes like, but a Bucket of Barclays will feed your mind for weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lu4472ke Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I've got coronation on order, I chose that one as it's quite useful because it's got no company logo on the sides. Katie was never really an option for me being the shade of red that it is and the big buffers, makes it look too toy like to me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Same reason here. Also, the green is a nice match for my de-branded and named MSC Peckett. Admittedly the WTT one is a better match for the lining, but I would rather not be removing lettering when I can just put a nameplate over the top of the printed one.

Porcy Mane Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 So when did AB2226 lose the cab back sheet it carried when working for ICI? "Loose them" They never did. Some probably got misplaced. Just unbolt them when things got too hot then return them to winter spec as and when. https://flic.kr/p/a1trxC P 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We loose/louse* things off. e.g., "Oi!, be careful as you loose/louse* that bolt off." There's quite a few of those Barclay thingies running about wild up here in the North. I may pop out over the next few days and see if I can bag a couple. *Delete as appropriate. Edited March 9, 2018 by Porcy Mane 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More commonly, I've heard it here and at home in Scotland in the sense of setting free; to lowse or finish work; lowsing time for knocking off and lowsed, finished for the day - all terms familiar to the lads at Barclays in Killy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've just taken me straight back to 1984 and my first shift as a Timekeeper at Ayr TMD. Driver's coming up to the window asking "Am I lowsed?" and I didn't have a clue what they were on about.
