RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted March 8, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hardly surprising it failed. There should be 6 driving wheels not 4! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crisis Rail Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Maybe suffering from a bad case of too many wheels? Yes - didn't notice that to be honest - totally unprototypical - an email has duly been sent to the RSR before the rivet count brigade are informed.

TomJ Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 As a parent of a Thomas mad boy I'd be rather grateful if it was broken and so unusuable! In fact I wish the ones at the NRM would break down from time to time. I may have told him they were broken on more than one occasion..........

Edwin_m Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I was pleased to find last week that Dublin Airport has installed some desks with sockets where I could do an hour's work on the laptop after arriving early for a flight. But less pleased to find that right next to them was a ride similar to this one (not Thomas) that played a burst of music very loudly every 2min or so even if nobody was using it. Then I discovered it was plugged into a standard switched socket... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
