bgman Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Whilst on the subject of food, how long do you cook your sprouts in ( diluted ) cider vinegar mate ? Sounds very interesting, I might try that then finish 'em off in the frying with some smoked bacon lardons ! G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted December 5, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 5, 2018 I am chuffed as, when looking for info for ANTB's Mr. Sweet and Co, I found my pic of Bulleid Diesel 10203 in Black Livery on an up express at Seaton Junction in 1954. There is another somewhere of it on the Down ACE but I have not yet refound that. P 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianusa Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Wack em in the micro for about 2 minutes only and check; keep em hard!!!!! P In this sorry land, Brussell sprouts are the object of ridicule. Along with fruit cake, every Yuletide brings out the usual cracks and comments; kids won't touch them neither will a lot of adults. But since my early years, sprouts have been my favourite add on to the roast chicken or whatever was served at Christmas lunch. It was usually at Grans house across the lane and it seemed that the scullery was shrouded in steam that would make any leaky loco envious, from the crack of dawn. The chicken was in the cooker and the pud on the boil, all to come together about one o'clock. There were five of us around a small table in their equally small kitchen but Christmas dinner was always special, complete with paper hats. Afterwards, the grown ups cleared everything away or took a nap if the sherry was out, which gave me the opportunity to play with a favourite gift or visit with my friend around the corner and compare presents. After that it was leftovers for tea and the opportunity to look forward to a second round tomorrow on Boxing Day! Not exactly "A Childs Christmas in Wales", but the memory has remained to this day. Brian. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted December 5, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 5, 2018 Don't fret Brian, at least you won't have to drop the Brussels in Brussels Sprouts on your side of the pond. (That is unless Trumperman does one of his bigly laws). Phik Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted December 5, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 5, 2018 How do you get a banker onto an HST - they don't have couplings, or buffers come to that? Might be be referring to the power car at the rear end? Serious head on - you hook on a loco using the adaptor coupler bar carried on each power car.

Mulgabill Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Serious head on - you hook on a loco using the adaptor coupler bar carried on each power car. I knew that ( not often I can jump in and say that). However I didn't respond sooner 'cos it did leave me wondering whether the bar would be as efficatious when used under compression (banking), as compared to the normal tension? I'm sure you can enlighten us more John. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you can enlighten us more John. It's over 30 years since I was involved directly with HSTs but my recollection is that the assisting loco had to be on the front. In compression I think there would be a risk of the adaptor coupler bar jumping out of the loco coupling. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P Actually, being serious for a moment (rarely possible with me) they are actually bliddy historic things and are great fun to travel on compared to most of the other plastic carp being used these days.
