How are you going to get the body over the seats? -
Just having a general chat about WR Diesels while we wait
-
How many round trips would a SUB make per day?
-
Funny really I like so many different types of loco, only thing 99% of them have in common is country of manufacture. I like a certain 10 coupled freight steam loco, a particular 4-6-0 passenger loco with visible front bogie wheels, most products of EE, lots of the pilot Diesels. And much more. At least I chose a Deltic which visited the South West and a real one stormed up the bank at Exeter
-
The refurbished ones seemed pretty handy to me, had some excellent trips and 50,017 seemed to be the best to me
-
Probably shifted a lot less people than that (same person 1000s of times ) but it would be a lot more trips I think. 10,000,000 passengers would be possible
-
D800 Warships to me are ugly, the Westerns stylish, but I do like the looks of the D600s
-
I am so glad I was able to see D601 and D6122 before they were scrapped and I would love to have seen both preserved, even if static only.
-
Does this include the 50s as the crews seemed to like these? I have had some good runs behind these and often saw them haul 14 coach sleeper trains over the Devon banks singly.
-
That is an excellent model very impressive
-
My dad once had to strip one to fix an exhaust manifold leak. A right nightmare. BTH I think the later Rootes group lumps were among the best push rod lumps in that size range, seen over 7000rpm on a > 100,000 mile engine, only thing the XFlow had over it was port size.
-
Not keen on the Chevette engine, 3 bearing, pain to work on, everything is on one side .
-
Too many pianos about
-
I like Avengers too and used to own a Sunbeam (hatch version) Tuned 1600
-
I like it, great way of terrifying the idiots who cut you up. I work with someone with a Dakar 4x4 and he can bully the buses down the lanes. BTW I have seen on TV a Scorpion tank (I think Jaguar engined) doing 70 on the motorway.
-
Well I tend to save some money by buying second hand stuff off Ebay, bought a Clayton rather cheaply, 4 Lima DMUs for less than the cost of say the Dapol 121/122.
-
Those underframe bits are good, basically a similar method to what I have used for my E1883 bar car, but to be honest a lot better standard. My air brakes are just smoothed off sprue!
-
That is rather nasty if you use it for modelling - basically it makes the drawing worthless.
-
I was thinking of his model.
-
I think you need 2 units, with enough differences to be worth doing.
-
Looks much better in blue I think
-
9Fs unable to do it. That sounds unusual. After reading the S&D Footplate books you would think they could do anything.
-
Wow it's Merlin
-
I notice you have replaced the small Airfix couplers with screw links
-
And I use a species from David Brins Uplift Saga to deal with Ur
