    Agree, I'm talking rubbish again, blame it on the heat

    I think you've answered you're own question. 800s, ordered under DfT control, ridiculous usage/maintenance conditions. 802s, ordered independently, less restrictive conditions

    Well plenty of people seem to have bones to pick with Dave.

    I note in the serious thread a suggestion they could be used as mobile restaurants with menus geared towards local delicacies. In Cornwall the Bodmin & Wenford could run Pasty Pacers.

    There are plenty of others forums which do seem to be used as a clearing house. One of the things I noticed when I first joined RMWeb, and have continued to notice, is the lack of such content. Long may it continue.

    Probably best to wait until it's on the lorry before handing over any money.

    Never trust a draughtsman; I should know, I was one for 40 years. I once suggested that amongst all the standard notes found on drawings, do not scale etc, should be one saying Any similarity between this drawing and the finished product is purely coincidental!

    I stand corrected.

    Ah but if you did that you might run into industrial relations problems over single manning

    It just occurred to me that if there was a quid for every DJM related post on this forum, we could be quite a way to repaying those who have lost out.

    You may well be right but from the limited experience I've had of 3D printing it is not suitable for large or even medium production runs. In the time taken to produce one 3D printed component, an injection moulding machine can produce a few hundred if not thousands

    Don't use an RMWeb thread; it'll wander and drift all over the place. if it gets too bad it'll get locked then nothing will move.

    What goes around, comes around.

    You could resell it on eBay

    That would seem to be the crux of this latest argument. I'm sure the liquidators would welcome information which will help them carry out the task assigned to them. What they will not welcome is being told how to carry out that task.

    Does that mean the SR used disc headcodes on their DMUs?

    A friend of mine travelled on an IET service from Plymouth to Newton Abbot yesterday. Bearing in mind how hot it's been the last few days, guess what - aircon not working. Isn't modern technology great?

    I noticed that one, and the note, "Currently unavailable, not known when available again" . (Thanks for pointing out my mistake. You can tell I didn't buy many of the books).

    It's surely better to wait a few minutes for a return phone call, than waste a lot more minutes driving to the shop to find they don't have what you want.

    Out of interest I googled the Ian Allen books but they don't seem to be available. I did find this though: http://uksteam.info/gwr/hcodes.html. Not sure how relevant it is to the original question.

    i hadn't seen the Zeller cleaner before, but, as you say, they do look very similar.
  24. rab
    I 'd say we've come close to it quite a few times.

    Saw this link on Facebook. Just wondered if anyone has tried this cleaner?
