Nothing sniffs like that sniffs, so if thats not close then its certainly not sniffy, I guess therefore its the opposite of sniff, but unsniffy... ballast cleaner ?

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted January 12, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2021 I wonder if its one of those announcements where at 11, but theres no replies until 11.05, because it needs basic primeval human responses of the natural instincts... 1.

That wasn't my interpretation, but in any case we can now speculate free from the pesky constraints of evidence as the picture has gone. Very suspicious indeed - looks like the work of the illuminated reptiloids to me. BTW have you ever noticed that you never see Fran and Hillary Clinton together in the same room? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel_H Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 13 hours ago, Mel_H said: I'm going to put my fiver on the MTV (later the Zander), built from the 1970s onwards on 35t tank chassis and finished off in engineers' use. NMP EDIT: Paul Bartlett's page says: "From 1975 Standard wagon built new open box bodies on the underframes from 150 ESSO vacuum braked tank wagons. These were branded MTV and were used for stone, aggregate, sand, scrap etc. From the late 1980s they were transferred to the Engineers fleet and coded Zander" Source: https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/mtvzander I guessed it would be a 4-wheel wagon, as they are cheaper to manufacture, so went for the MTV/Zander as it’s a simple wagon that had a (relatively) long life. But, I’d have never gone for this in a million years. Indeed, I wasn’t even aware of them, and I class myself as a bit of a wagon geek... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomScrut Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Wallet runs to hide.... In all seriousness of there is something up my street (i.e. present on the network at the moment) I'll be happy, but if not I won't be disappointed either as I have enough stuff I am waiting for already. In the true nature of these threads, I'd be chuffed if it was a 68, 88 or a 93 (model to turn up alongside the real thing, doubt it though). I do however expect this will be steam given the hints dished out here and there. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre Grouping fan Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 The picture of part of the running gear of a loco posted (then removed) on the loco section of the website hinted towards a WD loco with the wheel style Would fit with the 'Powering Britain' motto Accurascale has with its wagons. A modern 8f would also be great too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
