Dunsignalling

I knew I should have preceded my post with the phrase "all else being equal". 🤣

TBH, that's been the case ever since newspapers stopped being printed in Fleet Street.....

How long did it take for anybody to spot that Flying Scotsman's final BR overhaul had been botched......

I feel a second pre-order stirring.....

A Great Western crew would get agoraphobia in a cab that size. 😉

Agreed. The working principle is that none of the corner chains can become slack unless another becomes longer. Thus, if they are all taut to begin with, nothing can move.

Shouldn't the vicar have been addressing that remark to Mr Murdoch?

The MN, ditto.

Was there more than one of this diagram? Every photo and reference I've found relates to No.41910. There was also an instruction that it had to be coupled next to the brake van and not run for more than 25 miles before being inspected (and, presumably, re-lubricated).

Oxford is Oxford. Nothing to do with Hornby any more.

I reckon Oxford Rail are pretty safe from any risk of duplication with this one. 😉

TBF, I didn't believe the original price announced for the crane (£19) was possible in the first place. Given what's happened to prices across the rest of the industry since, and the fact that they are now going to include a match truck, I reckon we'll be doing OK if it doesn't exceed four times that.

Nice to see a couple of sixties Rootes group cars in the 2025 announcements, Including a Series IIIa Minx, the car I learned to drive in.... John

I've often wondered how much they pay for the privilege, or is it just a matter of mutual endorsement?

If they know it's going to happen a lot more will though, that's just human nature. I know several people who brag that they've not paid full price for anything since 1970....
