I stood on the train by accident and when I ran it the train derailed and the yoke fell out.I can't refit as the drive shaft is in the way and i'm not sure how to remove it and I'm nervous about breaking the shaft?

They had a deltic (koyli) outside open to public so it would have been nice to have apt-e open.I just spotted for the first time a middle piece of the apt-e outside uncovered which looked a bit sad and open to the elements
-
Went to the Flying Scotsman shed bash at Shildon today,nice to see people taking photos of the apt-e also.

One show on bbc1

Just watched it on iPlayer,good stuff, btw read an article in railways illustrated today called hst versus apt and apart from the usual talk of motion sickness it mentioned the danger of the two trains sticking in tilt mode then colliding when passing each other which I had never thought about before.

At Wensleydale diesel gala today,got talking to some teenage train spotters who started because of the BBC 4 train spotting live ,showed then some pictures of the apt-e on my phone and they could not believe it was a British train as they said it looked too cool
-
The APT got a brief mention on last night's show(train spotting live) saying that it tilted too far and that it caused passengers to feel sick as the pendolina does not tilt as far and so is more comfortable,they also said if we had gone with Brunels wide gauge instead of standard gauge trains would be able to go faster and be more comfortable and reduce the need to tilt?

Some footage of the HST-P last night,electric trains tonight may have something about the apt-p ?

What trains did Kit work on before and after the apt-e?
-
Was the one driver seat on the apt-e a sneaky ploy by BR to introduce one driver only cabs on the apt-p or was it just a one off for experiment?
-
that's fantastic I would buy one of those.

Last year they had open days once a month on the apt-e,got to sit in the cab,see the engine and sit in the VIP coach but did not get in the control room coach,wonder if they still have open days?
