RMweb Premium Richard E Posted January 24, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 24, 2019 What can one say other than what on earth are we coming to, uncontrolled rage is perhaps a sign of the stresses of modern life but in a civilised society we should not be taking it out on each other. Here is wishing you a speedy recovery and I hope the police can find the perpetrator and that the book is thrown at them, none of this wishy washy treatment from the courts in this instance.

The last time I did anything like that I got a Class 60 and a train of HBAs. (Which was exactly what I needed so I was happy and then spent a good part of a day doing with it what I wanted to do between Swindon, Reading and Didcot before giving it back.)

TIA At the moment it doesn't get used due to the derailment last year. But it should be back in use shortly. It's used everyday in normal running for running round trains eg 1s that come from nuneaton for birch coppice and return 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the reception roads be used as a goods loop? - once 767 points get re-instated! I cant see hams hall being very happy with us asking to put a train away in there. It would interfere with their workings big style. Their shunter has to be involved in both getting a train into and out of the yard. The only time I've put a train in there that had nothing to do with hams hall was an enthusiast special that went straight through. As whitacre loop is close by and bidirectional that usually suffices unless the train is too long then we can usually hold it at waterorton and if that ain't possible then pull off and give the driver greens. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
