    Have decided intelligent life has left the UK as people on Social media think recent Electric Storms in Clouds, are Alien Invaders.

      @Captain Kernow That is very true .... the idiots on social media I mean, not the alien invaders!! 😂

    RMweb is now, for all intents and purposes, unusable.

      Working perfectly fine here and normal speed, no waiting for pages to load or display.

      For reference, I dont use any Ad blocker, and hardly see any ads!  I am using Apple Safari if it helps.

    Hi folks, just joined up to see what everyone is up to :))  Loving our new Union Mills locos, had a string of poor runners from the big boys, have high hopes these will prove strong and reliable;) More pics of the layout in my profile.

    A Maritime 66 just pulled into the Belle Vue siding (wakefield) towing Virgin 90 "christine" and DB 66 "Benjamin Gimbert"

      Ah DB Cargo UK red livery.  Yes that was the loco named at Knottingley.

    Well that is three days running that RMweb has made my laptop crash for no reason. 

     

    Form 1 needs to be sent out.

    1. MarshLane

      MarshLane

      Try using a different browser and see if it still crashes.  It could be a browser update that is causing the problem, rather than rmWeb.

    Have any European class 66's ever visited the UK?

    1. MarshLane

      MarshLane

      The advantage of the Euro 66 is that GM used the British body shell!  Those pictured above came in by ship from Hull Docks, and were towed to Longport for overhaul and repaint, before being towed back to Hull.  The three have been given temporary numbers for the movement - 66999, 66998 and 66997.  

       

      There are 3 from Sweden that GBRf have been purchased and will be into traffic this summer.  They are currently at Longport and will become 66790-66792.  In the current fleet, 66747-66749 were formerly Crossrail Benelux EU locos and 66750/751 are both ex-EU locos. These five have had major mods to the cabs, signalling systems etc to make them compatible with the UK network.

       

      Four locos from the 66773-779 could also be said to be former EU locos although they have never been in the EU!  EMD had four power units on the ground in the EU prior to the new emissions regulations coming in.  GBRf acquired them and shipped them back to the US, and EMD built four 66s around them - because the power units had physically been in the EU they were valid despite not meeting the current emissions regulations.

    I’ve just spotted an article on Rail Advent where the A1 Tornado is written as ‘ex-LNER’. That would make sense if the loco was that old, but Tornado never ran for the LNER because it is way too new. How can it be ‘ex-LNER’ if the LNER never had the loco?

    It would make sense if the design was what was ex-LNER.
     

    ??

    1. MarshLane

      MarshLane

      Classic example of why I don't bother with Rail Advent!  It shouldn't be ex-LNER - its to an LNER design, but cannot be ex or former LNER as it never was.

    WTF, NRM York need to have a long look at themselves after taking back the prototype HST from the group that has made a wreck into a runner

      Agreed.  Diabolical decision on the part of the Science Museum/NRM.

    Why do I receive notifications about topics I'm not remotely interest in?

    1. MarshLane

      MarshLane

      No problem - if you go onto your Manage Follow Content, then click on the 'Change Preference, a window will appear where you can Unfollow, or change the notification setting to None, or emails to immediate, daily or weekly.

    1. MarshLane

      MarshLane

      It may just be things that you’ve followed in the past but long since turned the notifications off. With the reset it’s turned them back on by default - try just going through your content list and ‘unfollowing’ or turning off the notifications for anything you don’t want. The software really is no more difficult than it was, things are just in different places or the names have changed over the years.

    I cannot access my feed thro' Feedly now; prev no probs

    1. MarshLane

      MarshLane

      No problem, just so we're on the same wavelength.  This is one of what are now called activity feeds?  Ie Unread content, or content you follow?  If so, then go to the page on rmWeb, at the top of the page (below the rmWeb banner), you'll see the page name, ie Unread content.  On the same line, over on the right it says RSS - and you can copy the feed address from there.

    I can't for the life of me make any sense of this 'updated' site. As far as I can see it's a 'downdate'. Sorry guys, you've dropped it somewhat.

      Have a look at the FAQ thread.  Also the first post on there explains why the upgrade was done.

      Click on the 'Activity' tab at the top, then 'My Activity Streams' you have a variety of options for what you want to see, or you can create your own 'Activity Stream' to replicate what was there previously.

      Be aware if you do, there's no turning back! OO and N will never have the same appeal!

    Has anyone ever encountered a form of technology that was less user friendly than a supermarket diy checkout?

      Did you ever try a question to a Woolworths staff member? supermarket DIY checkouts are so far advanced in comparison :)

      I sense (only by a small amount) that your not quite satisfied with your printer Craig :)
