Luckily I can stick to vibration analysis professionally and don't need to worry about that kinda thing with any kind of consequence. Would it really be illegal for them to speak to each other along the lines of "if you do the 90, I will do the wagons to go with it"? How have the oil companies managed to do that kind of thing by working together controlling supply to match the demand for so long? Surely almost everyone in the world would have a valid claim against them if it's illegal. Sorry distracting slightly from the topic, but I find things like that fascinating.

DavidMcKenzie Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Back to a more modelling related topic, does anyone know the difference in chassis between a class 90 and 87? I know the 90 at one stage was even going to be named the 87/2 and there are similarities, but are they close enough to allow both models to be produced from one set of chassis/boggie/underframe etc. tooling? I know I am jumping the gun hugely and someone producing a class 90 is the first step, but the thought came to mind when thinking about the additional runs that would be possible with a class 90.

""Seven Sisters" was a common term for the seven transnational oil companies of the "Consortium for Iran" oligopoly or cartel, which dominated the global petroleum industry from the mid-1940s to the mid-1970s." "Despite the fact that OPEC is considered by most to be a cartel, members of OPEC have maintained it is not a cartel at all but rather an international organization with a legal, permanent, and necessary mission."

Only 53 SR designed 4EPB were produced before the first Mk1 EPB was delivered (5701 in Jan 54). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
