Sorry don't get the in joke with the foreign language posts.

 

It's probably just part of the current Zeitgeist.

 

(Well I guess there are plenty of less agreeable foreign expressions ... like Schadenfreude, for instance.)

Is it the  opposite of Brexit?

 

Am I allowed to say that?

 

 

We might need to have a "People's Vote" on that question (although I, personally, would have no problem were your comment to remain in this thread).

Could be worse. When Germans decided to appropriate 'an English word', they chose 'shitstorm'.

Warley announcement?

 

"If you thought the Deltic was a big announcement, this one's bigger".

 

That'll be a Conflat L then!

 

Or an O gauge Deltic.

PS. Deltic is just one letter away from Celtic

 

Its a secret project the lads have been working on for months, code name 'dolomite'...not sure if this is connected, but I heard a rumor from a woman at work whose mum lives in Norfolk and she heard that 2 Irish sounding lads were seen traipsing over fields with cameras and stuff somewhere near here...

Ah! I guess that must be the two Irish sounding gadgees that were 3D scanning the Conflat L (blitzkrieg version) as seen in this vid?

Its funny you should mention Conflat Ls Poursea, I was in the pub the other night talking to this rather attractive nurse when the subject of Conflat Ls came up, and how nobody since Tri-ang had been brave enough to make a model of them (apols to Mr B Bedford)...and she says "there's one of them things at the bottom of my street", of course I didn't believe a word, how many nurses do you meet in pubs know what a Conflat L is? Any way, it turns out YES there really is one at the end of her street and yes her friend sitting opposite really does own an Austerity tank engine (full size)...the moral of this story is, I should go to the pub more often.

That Kato DC controller is the earlier version which isn't the smoothest starting for some locos but clearly no problems for Accurascale.

 

Have feedback DC designs, which admittedly have fallen out of favour a bit,  like the Gaugemaster HH been tried ?

 

 

Bump. Maybe the question is not valid until the electronics are finalized ?
