RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted May 23, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 23, 2014 was this the one with a Captain of Industry on board?? No idea if any VIPs were on board it today, Don. This particular Captain certainly wasn't, but then again, I'm not a Captain of Industry, merely (according to certain friends) the Captain of a sludge carrier...

trisonic Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 The tracker seems to be out of sync with the action, today..... Or is it just me? Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcriout Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 The tracker seems to be out of sync with the action, today..... Or is it just me? Best, Pete. The signal tracker on railcam appears to be slightly in advance ive always thought that it showed signaled clear to that berth ime probably wrong someone will put me right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 An Up Freight train earlier came and went on the tracker without appearing on the Web Cam......at least before I had to go to the loo! Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted May 24, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 24, 2014 The tracker seems to be out of sync with the action, today..... Or is it just me? Best, Pete. I've just watched a nodding donkey go past on the Up and the times seem about right for a train stopping at Dawlish. The description moved into the berth at Dawlish platform about 3 minutes before the train passed the camera and it moved into the next berth less than a minute before the train passed the camera which matches fairly well the fact that there is a signal slightly in advance of the Up platform at Dawlish. I don't know how the td feed to the website works but on the basis of that single example it is very closely in step with only a slight delay after the descriptions are stepping up on Exeter panel itself. And to think that only 15 years ago it would have cost the better part of a grand (GBP) to have that on my desktop PC at work, that is what I really call progress.

How times change - running HST power cars like that used to be prohibited - it means they can't be assisted from the rear if they fail. Maybe they don't fail nowadays?

RMweb Premium Gary H Posted May 27, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 27, 2014 followed not that long ago by this.. ff.JPG Excellent! Im glad some one caught it Michael. I'd just come off track having been with the ultrasonic testers, walked down a fairly long flight of steps down to the bottom of an embankment and glimpsed it through the trees. I had to have a double take just to make sure I wasn't seeing things! How times change - running HST power cars like that used to be prohibited - it means they can't be assisted from the rear if they fail. Maybe they don't fail nowadays? That's what I thought!! Certainly the first time ive seen it happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
