Andrew P Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 Things are moving on, but with nothing moving yet on the moving front, I have spent the last week or so sitting on my but, and doing nothing other than moping around as I'm bored with not having anything to plan or build. Last night I was chatting to my mate Jeff / Binny and he came up with an idea that I will be implementing later today. This should hopefully re kindle a little enthusiasm over the coming weeks / Months before we can sell / buy and get moved. I have some work to do first, but will let things be known on here soon. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ‘enthusiast’ should try watching trains at busy places!!! Paul. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Paul, Eastleigh has lots of interesting and conflicting looking moves, such as the Aggregates 66 leaving Platform 3 to the North, but has to run Wrong Line for a short distance to enter the top Yard. Similar moves happen with Locos coming on and off the Depot, to Platform 3 from the South. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't that Class 31 been transferred away yet as being unable to pull the skin off a rice pudding? Class 31s weren't called Peds (i.e. pedestrian) for nothing.

They always looked good on a Kings Cross suburban train. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted October 17, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2019 I’ll have you know that in late 75 or early 76 I saw a Brush 2 that achieved Paddington to Reading in the 34 mins allowed for type 4 power (there was an evening diagram that had 2 x Brush 2 allocatedso I assume that one was unavailable). The fact that it then sat down and couldn’t go further is irrelevant! Paul. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
