These days, with DCC (although possible with DC) we have lights etc. operating according to the direction of travel. I wonder, has anyone set up a driver in the direction of travel? I imagine pop-up / pop-down figures in each cab... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder, has anyone set up a driver in the direction of travel? I imagine pop-up / pop-down figures in each cab... Interesting idea, I suppose it would be possible on a loco but harder in a dmu where there is less space under the floor. Another solution might be an inflatable driver that the air is sucked out of when you inflate the driver at the other end and vice versa (sorry, that's given me the mental picture of the auto-pilot in Airplane, which still has me in stitches every time I see it). This would be useful on Cwmdimbath for auto-working, if I ever go in for DCC, which I intend to when I win the lottery. Now, somebody is probably going to be along soon with all sorts of dodgy inflatable activities for passengers. You are all very bad people for thinking this. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the way from Newport, presumably with an Old Oak driver who signed the traction. My best memory of 1200 was watching it with loaded 35ton loose-coupled iron ore hoppers flat out through Newport High Street at about 20mph on the up relief middle road on a Newport Docks-Llanwern, ground trembling under me, proper thug of an engine. Impressive! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
