bigwordsmith Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 There is some weird synchronicity in you mentioning three way asymmetric points, Lord Duck - I've just removed one from the West end of Waverley East as I try to rearrange the throat into a simpler layout while still preserving two-way running in all five lines. Clearly much greater forced than even our SWMBOs can summon are st work... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwordsmith Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Not pallyhole, but certainly Bally ole as I was told 40-odd years ago to cut out carbs when I needed to lose weight to join up! One thing I'll always remember from my short time in a green suit was the engineers' motto- If af first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!

RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted September 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) Is that one of those Pallyhole diets then? I tried giving up almost all Carbs once and it was as if I was coming off some sort of drug or becoming tea total. It is called Carb Flu. I am told that certain GWR loco's were fitted with a Carb Flu to improve their exhaust gas emissions I tried a high fibre diet once. It was called The F-Plan, which I'm sure was an abbreviation for The F@rt Plan. It certainly improved my exhaust gas emissions.

Phil Just out of curiosity, have you found any running problems with the tender Phil ? For some reason one axle on my T9 kept sticking whilst running and needed some minor work to correct it. Nice loco nevertheless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
