RJS1977 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Surprised nobody's posted one of these yet. Oops, the number is a bit of a give away.

richardw1970 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 A fairly early shot of a 150/1 judging by the lack of NRN & TPWS, also the view out of the cab window probably dates it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

meld Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 BIG Jim's is a 'NSE Networker Train' Concept style cab. And bearing where he works/did work I suspect a 168. Look at all those engine fault lights - OMG!, Analog and Digital Speedo - Neat ... Is that a G-SMR handset Jim? MC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Trainshed Terry Posted March 25, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 25, 2013 I never did resolve this one and still have not. Any further ideas Terry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium TimC Posted March 25, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 25, 2013 I never did resolve this one and still have not. Cab of what.jpg Any further ideas Terry I worked for a few months on the Networker project in 1992 at the Technical Centre at Derby. Also in the NSE area, there was a small group working on the preliminary work on a potentially large project to replace third rail slam door stock. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called or the prospective class number. It was not clear whether the stock was to be gangwayed or not (this might seem strange now but remember Networkers are not gangwayed - everything was then designed around single man operation). This might have been one of the cab mock ups for these non gangwayed units. The project was cancelled, I recall it was a bit of a shock to the team but not surprising given privatisation was just around the corner. There certainly were mock ups for these units made at the RTC workshops but it could well be something else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted March 28, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 28, 2013 BIG Jim's is a 'NSE Networker Train' Concept style cab. And bearing where he works/did work I suspect a 168. Look at all those engine fault lights - OMG!, Analog and Digital Speedo - Neat ... Is that a G-SMR handset Jim? MC sorry not looked on here for a while, its a 165 unit in my pic, the digital bit of the speedo is the ATP display, only 1 engine fault light but there are various other fault lights (tripcock, atp etc) the switches at the top are isolation switches where you canisolate the failt to get out of trouble, the light above comes on if you isolate it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
