Indomitable026 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Yes! Next show is Warley. This weekend were going to have a heavy session........... We're are also hoping to do some work on the layout and get through some of that 40 item snagging list. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 The pasty trucks will be heading North then? Congratulations on the Warley deal. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted September 30, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 30, 2011 Sadly I can't be with Damian and John this weekend but, based on experience, I'm sure they will indeed have a heavy session. There may also be some modelling but I'm guessing lots of banter and food. Guys don't forget to dig out the Treneglos drapes which will be needed for the Spalding show (week before Warley). All the best all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Shades of Laira Blue 50's? Click on link http://railwayherald.org/imaging.centre/showimage.php?image=209563&gallery=X4&raildiary=2011-10-04 This is not my picture, but I have spotted this loco parked at Doncaster for the last few days but not been able to get a shot of it. There is also a very good shot on therailwaycentre.com - todays pic of the day (07 October 2011) It struck me that the livery resembled laira blue as applied to the Engineers 50's in the DCWA pool in the early nineties and it warranted a second look. Don't get me wrong though, I will never bring myself to like these modern machines - they sound like washing machines on fast spin to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted October 7, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 7, 2011 Don't get me wrong though, I will never bring myself to like these modern machines - they sound like washing machines on fast spin to me. Isn't the sound due to the fact that the 710G prime mover, like the 567 and 645 before it, are all 2-stroke diesels, whereas those of us more used to Sulzer designs are attuned to 4-stroke sounds?

Well its the 'Splat splat splat splat' of a 50 engine that really does it for me. In fact if it was legal I would marry that sound on the bank out of Exeter..... Sooo, have Murican things always been 2 stroke? I'm worried now i'm buying these locos for 'Owd Grinders' murican project (once upon a time in the west) and they all sound like washing machines? I feal a few nighmares coming on tonight..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted October 8, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 8, 2011 No, while the GM products have - at least until 710, I'm not sure whether emission issues may have prompted a rethink since then - always been 2-stroke, Alco, their main rival until the mid-60s, were always 4-stroke, which is why US enthusiasts think Sulzers sound a bit similar. GE, who only really got into volume production in the early '60s, and became a very real threat to GM's prior dominance (itself a dubious by-product of wartime controls) have always been 4-stroke, too.
