Then it's off to Bristol via Barnsley.

 

Hmm, now for which of those places will you need most visas...... 🤣

Or indeed  inoculations.

It must be 10years plus since I was last in there , I remember a Rotherham Corporation bus , smallest production double decker sticks in my mind . Could be wrong why it was in there , possibly a Crossley (spelling?) 

derek

 

Yes there is.

It's HET513, RCT fleet number 213, the very last true Crossley to be built; a DD42/8 model.

Mirfield speed signalling too. 🙂

Whilst I just didn't understand it.......      😋

Thanks that’ll do it.

 

i’ll make a new xls, and revise is based on the content in here and turn it back over to @leopardml2341 for the front page.

 

 

Thanks all, that's what I like about RMweb; teamwork gets the job done 👍

I may still have the original xls which the pdf was originally based.

 

I’ll have a look later tonight

 

 

Thanks, I had forgotten you'd helped me out, though I think I added some items after that, but at least all would not be lost.

.......but not a bus or a lorry, which, due to size & length, needs to adopt a wholly different position with regards the carriageway, to negotiate bends and corners.

Which reminds me......

Having passed my PSV test in a vehicle with the 'steering wheels' well behind the driving position and driven vehicles of the same style almost all the time since; I once got into the cab of a bus (Leyland  PD3) where the 'steering wheels' are directly below the driving position.

I had to turn right into a tight entrance and positioned the vehicle as I would for one with a front overhang and promptly kerbed the front nearside wheel. Remembered every time since though. 🙂

I suspect it's due to the server migration. I've asked if it can be restored, but if not I'm afraid it might be lost forever as the device I had it backed up to has also bitten the dust.

I let my phone go to voicemail after 7pm unless it's someone that I know.

When I was single, one of my friends used to call me anytime between 11pm and 1am, because he knew I would be up, but not in my workshop. 

It was annoying when complete strangers rang me at 9.30pm to ask if I would sell parts from something I was advertising, rather than the whole thing. That's why I never put a phone number on any eBay listing.

I don't have that problem, nobody ever phones me 

As detailed on another part of this forum, I recently bought a so-say Brand New Heljan Class 15 from an ebay seller. This exhibited similar stuttering in one direction. I was using a feedback controller so couldn't understand why....

Investigations showed that at some point the body had been removed. Brand New? he said.....

I removed the body (again) and discovered a DCC chip had been fitted. Brand New? he said.....

Heljan don't do DCC fitted, and even if they did, they wouldn't fit a Bachmann decoder would they? Brand New? he said.....

Caveat emptor. Though in this case I didn't lose out, but I don't know whether my feedback controller has fried the (bonus) DCC chip.

In any case the lcocmotive was certainly not 'Brand New' as offered.

Some years ago I went through an EFAD (Emergency Fire Appliance Driving) course.

 

The instructor told us "only to signal when that information will be useful to another road user or users".

Indeed that was the IAM way too!

And I don't move back until I can see both sides of the vehicle I have just overtaken in my interior mirror.

Me too!

Generally this means there's a safe distance between the both vehicles. 

It's all simply a whole pie which can only be divided up in a certain number of ways. Each portion brings with it a greater or lesser onus upon the person/system inolved to do their bit to the best of their ability and accept the responsibility for doing just that.

The easiest answer to all of these problems is to NOT keep introducing systems which take the responsibility to make decisions, based on conditions and risk, away from the driver and thus giving the driver something to blame, or rely upon to compensate for, their skills deficiencies.

I do know that what I've said will be seen at best as controversial; maybe by some as provocative but hopefully not inflammatory.

I know I've said it before, but I tend to find that drivers who do not extol their own performance are generally those with (at least an aspiration to) higher standards.

I fixed some 40 odd year old airfix ones a year or two ago with decalfix!.

As these are absolutely ancient pressfix, I would be willing to bet that the adhesive has dried up.

 

Whilst you can revive cracked waterslide transfers with liquid decal film, it won't work in the same way with pressfix transfers.

 

CJI.

Though I do recall reading somewhere in the dim and distant past that 'dried out' Pressfix transfers can be applied in the Methfix manner, so all may not be lost.

In one of Iain Rice's many volumes IIRC.

Item received today, and whilst it's in good condition it is certainly not 'new'. I've reported this to the seller who's offered me the option to return or a partial refund of £10. I need to do a bit more investigation into slightly hesitant running in one direction before I decide.....

Well.....

I decided to take the offer of a partial refund. I then began investigating the hesitant running which turned out to be due to the fact that the loco was fitted with a DCC decoder which didn't like the feedback controller I was using. Removed the (Bachmann) decoder and all is well.

Clearly the loco was not new at all!

But I have a DCC fitted Class 15 for £75 which on the whole isn't a bad deal and certainly not madness.

Indeed, which is why I made the offer.

 

The offer has been accepted, I'll report back......
