I'm guessing they'd break the platoon up and revert to 3 vehicles. Road trains were ruled out only a short time ago as unsuitable for this country. While on a motorway there wouldn't be too much of a problem, you have to actually access it, and motorways are sometimes less than 20% of a journey.

Yodelling ?

If you think about steam locomotives, the pony trucks don't have outside bearings, although I'm not sure where you get a disc wheel like that.......I model pre-grouping.

They'll be out in the fields where foodstuffs are plenty this time of year, They're seed eaters and lots of plants will be going to seed at this time.

Oh no you're not !

I understand what Martin is saying and think this is probably what Peco have done to make it look 'right', it's a shame that Peco don't explain how they achieved the look, but I doubt they would tell their customer base they've been modelling 4'1.5" considering the angst it causes. I've actually found it an informative discussion and have learnt something.

The inference is that he's not seen them, whether he has or hasn't the title of the thread is "Worlds worst ever movies" so I don't see the point of your post which seems critical of the OP. Wiki has become a byword for inaccuracy, I'd also wonder whether you could be acused of 'Plagiarism' when all the attributable quotes listed within Wiki have come from other sources with no material being original.

Drivers 2 and 3 will be just steering, but being pulled closer together to save fuel by reducing air turbulence means they'll have less forward vision.

This one. I put a link to a google earth image (post 60) http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/81072-abondened-wagonscoaches/page-3?hl=cartic

Now as far as Sharnbrook (56M 56Chains) where one of the slows has been taken out.

I wouldn't say that was necessarily the case, I worked at Royston BO for a couple of years in the early 80's and we had the highest number of first class season ticket holders on the route as well as standard, a chap came down from GN house to study the record cards and found that the majority of them lived in the Cambridge area and sent some a questionnaire. The results showed that passengers were more inclined to travel to Royston for the better service into KX (1 fast, 1 slow an hour minimum) than the service from Cambridge. And Cambridge had seen a huge percentage of it's regular commuter traffic drop off a cliff.

Some might use it to bind up your keyboard fingers.... It's one of those products that uses a 'generic' name to market it, everyone I know calls it 'Duck tape' when it's actually 'Duct' and was used for taping up joins in Ductwork. As Mullie says 'Gaffa' is the other name people use. I find several layers wound around my models improves them no end.

At work, Duct tape is the preferred option, wound round the finger a minimum of 8 times to make doing things really awkward.

Any idea what sort of speed it'll run at ? I can already think of half a dozen uses for a Motor/box combo like that.

How do you know you're not actually listening to the chime from the hour before, or even the day before.....

That showed when the presenter was cutting a 45* angle on some styrene, it would have been easier for him to use a chainsaw with the way he was hacking at it......works for me.....

Series 11 to 15, 1 hour 17 minutes in

I think Branchlines did a motorising kit for this in the 90's ?

Especially in the style of "Dark Morris" courtesy of T Pratchett. So many seemed to have moved about, I sleep in the room I was born in.....but then, there really isn't anything outside of Bedfordshire worthy of note...

If you actually read the listing, he wants just short of 4 grand but isn't including the plastic baskets shown in the pictures which you can get for free from any grocer/market stall. Tight arse

I wonder if it's the UV/Sunlight actually lightening other areas. There are a couple of very large windows in the 'railway room'

No matter what political persuasion I don't think you can lay the blame at the feet of the current PM. My wife worked with Government departments for a while, and the only thing that stayed constant was the civil servants. They are the ones that really wield power and influence.

Drive past it most days. We thought it was a gay club opening but turned out to be swingers........the bricklayers were most disappointed

There's a swingers club just up the road in an old pub.........wonder what the neighbours hear there.......

They use ABS (?) so you need Butanone.
