JeremyC Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Put a copper chimneycap on a certain LNER pacific. I believe that K.J.

Guest Max Stafford Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I often do this to P4 groups just to wind them up! Dave. Or the similar "Is this EM? to a P4 layout. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Ooo - new take - how to get lynched on this thread! Getting lynched on the thread is easy, insert an inappropriate rude comment or toilet joke and you're away. Threatening Mod3 with a water pistol is unlikely to make you popular with him either!

RMweb Premium Jason T Posted March 2, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Dress up as Ringo, stand by a P4 layout and in a loud Ringo voice (nasal Scouse), provide a commentary / story for all movements, giving each loco a name. "Rupert had been told by the fat controller that he had to shunt troublesome trucks all day and he wasn't happy, so he decided to go far too fast and bump the trucks, as well as stopping for no particular reason on the points by the goods shed" Edited March 2, 2012 by Sandside 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaGrange Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Live diesel locos are also available on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.u...=item19cdfa726e That is not a live diesel as its a sparking engine, not compression - so 'petrol electric' LOL. There must be a device that can do this! There is an Iphone/Android app, you just need the wireless host address and port number - usually written in big writing on the card stuck to the back of the layout with the train address numbers.......

Ringo, dressed up in full LNWR Guard's regalia, complete with Red / Green flags & whistle. Acting out the role, every time a train leaves the station.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 3, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2012 Not quite lynching but conversation today with another RMWeb member at Abingdon show Stnmster 'Surely you're not working it with that mobile thingy' A N Other 'No, I'm checking my email' So if in future if you see anyone control a layout with one of those Blackberry 'phone style things you can always ask if they're looking at their email. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scots region Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 A design simlar to the fell once cropped up in my imaginations, a disscussion between an Artist and an Aleneian Civil servant. The Artist complained that the design was blinding passengers. The Civil Servant pointed out that it was senseless for form to overtake function. Not if the form is Public health issue retorted the Artist. The Civil Servant stated that what really mattered was there were passengers getting on the trains, the condition of their sight was irrelavent. The Artist accused the Civil Servant of being a Fascist The Civil Servant accused the Artist of Being a Communist The Artist indicated that he had cardinal knowlege of the Civil Servants wife. The Civil servant indicated that the object approaching the Artist's face was his fist. The matter was not disscussed again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 That is not a live diesel as its a sparking engine, not compression - so 'petrol electric' Wrong! It is not a petrol engine, its is a glo/nitro engine. It has no spark, and relies on compression assisted by a glow plug to fire, so calling it 'petrol electric' is in fact much much more inaccurate than calling it 'live diesel' !!!!

Good point as the fuel is neither petrol or diesel. The Glo Plug needs power on start up and then glows on its own. Unique to minature aero engines and being two stroke, a lot more power from small cc. No mention of brakes on the model so fitted though. Does it have any?
