I do wonder if they wouldn't be better off contacting each other and trying to compliment each other rather than competing?

Other than it being illegal it's a great idea

Ah shows how much I know doesn't it . Luckily I can stick to vibration analysis professionally and don't need to worry about that kinda thing with any kind of consequence. Would it really be illegal for them to speak to each other along the lines of "if you do the 90, I will do the wagons to go with it"?

 

How have the oil companies managed to do that kind of thing by working together controlling supply to match the demand for so long? Surely almost everyone in the world would have a valid claim against them if it's illegal. Sorry distracting slightly from the topic, but I find things like that fascinating. 

 

All the best,

Dave

Back to a more modelling related topic, does anyone know the difference in chassis between a class 90 and 87? I know the 90 at one stage was even going to be named the 87/2 and there are similarities, but are they close enough to allow both models to be produced from one set of chassis/boggie/underframe etc. tooling? I know I am jumping the gun hugely and someone producing a class 90 is the first step, but the thought came to mind when thinking about the additional runs that would be possible with a class 90. 

 

All the best,

Dave

""Seven Sisters" was a common term for the seven transnational oil companies of the "Consortium for Iran" oligopoly or cartel, which dominated the global petroleum industry from the mid-1940s to the mid-1970s."

 

"Despite the fact that OPEC is considered by most to be a cartel, members of OPEC have maintained it is not a cartel at all but rather an international organization with a legal, permanent, and necessary mission."

 

No law breaking here, move along please 

 

Thread drift over.

Engaging pedant mode

 

The earlier builds of classes 414-416 were based on SR rather than MK1 carriage profiles, so the MK1 versions of those pretty much didn't hit 40 years in service

Even more Pedant, SR designed 2EPB 416/1 (416/3) was built after the Mk1 2EPB 416/2 (416/4) and the SR designed 2HAP were delivered along side the second half of the first Mk1 batch of 2HAP (414/2). Only 53 SR designed 4EPB were produced before the first Mk1 EPB was delivered (5701 in Jan 54).

Did anybody know who produced the sound for the Revolution 92? I've got a standard version and was thinking of adding sound....
