Noticeable that for most of the advert they are standing up on the train. Is that because the seats are so bl**dy hard you can't sit on them for long?!!!
Having been off-line for a week I have just come back and now Hattons pre-owned section has virtually nothing for sale - just the odd coach and wagon. Is anyone out there still seeing loads of stuff ie dozens of locos per day etc?
This is a total myth. They pay for their Type Rating - which is a requirement to be allowed to operate a particular type of aircraft (and is common practice in many airlines) - but once they begin flying passengers they are paid.
