      here's to another 18 years of preservation, burst KV10's, blown up rad fan unit's, pissing out liner seals, exploding generators, under active AVR's, dead battery's, burst heat exchangers, dripping intercooler's, …...............flaming fan contactor's.......

      Who the bloody hell invented the bloody things!

      There was a problem yesterday. Most stuff posted between 11:30 and 13:30 were lost.

      No worries. The server reset to an earlier version of the site, I believe.

      Jon020

      Check the period too... there was some swapping around. Just don't start me on deltics - same bogies!

      sixteen 12by 10s

      ah.. That one, 37 190' / 37 314 got cast ones under it, when we did a traction motor change, the motors had Deltic number painted on. Pics here http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php/gallery/image/15844-img-7301jpg/

    3. Pixie

      Don't forget there's two types of cast bogies!

    where's the "realistic photo album" that was on the front page gone?

    1. Andy Y

      Andy Y

      Work is underway to use that album to replace the recent gallery images filmstrip at the top of the index page as I've seen some poor quality stuff going up there (not what's there at the moment).

    2. vac_basher

      vac_basher

      Ok cool. Thought there was something wrong with my computer. Thanks!

  10. vac_basher

    1. RedgateModels

    is keeping up his new years resolution so far (which was "don't buy any locos unless they're absolutly neccesary to my collection")

    1. NGT6 1315

      NGT6 1315

      I'd say "absolutely necessary" is, in fact, very much open to interpretation! :-D

  16. vac_basher

    has successfully smuggled two new locos pass Mrs Vac Basher.

    1. Mallard60022

      Mallard60022
