    Not,so sure it does, stop on the 1st lane on a smart motorway and you automatically have a “potty stop” 😱💩

    Nor does the text on page 26 talking about the Britannia and annotated as #14 the picture actually shows a DMU. I have not seen mention of a DMU in the press bumf but the mag as above shows the old TT DMU, I really hope Hornby release a DMU in the new range.

    The original design of the Smart Motorways was to have refuge areas at much closer intervals than they are now being built, they got changed to much further apart to save mon…..err…..because studies said they were just as safe, who ever would have thought that?

    But usually, almost always as I recall dual carriageways have a kerb/pavement or grass verge (even cycle lane, shock horror) space one can use in an emergency, where as Motorways have an Armco barrier two feet from the smart/1st lane, which IMO makes the Smart Motorway design flawed.

    Indeed, I have Kadees on my 00 stock which is fine if a bit finicky uncoupling sometimes, with all the resources of the entire industry I find it odd that a reliable delayed industry wide coupler hasn’t yet been designed, the laziness of “that’ll do for them” attitude I think.

    Delayed action couplings…..nirvana, if only……we can but dream.

    Our visit was by bus…..a LT Bus on a special trip, I think it went from Victoria Stn. All I remember is we left in the dark and got home in the dark 😆

    My Mum took me to Biggin Hill air show, it must have been in 1968/69 as the Beagle (Pup) was being shown as new, and I remember that was the last time I ever saw/heard an aircraft break the sound barrier, it was a display by a BAC Lightening and it sticks in my mind the sight of this aircraft, first a small dot coming closer and then low level right along the runway completely silent until it past and there was an almighty BANG and then the roar, it was amazing. No idea why they didn’t allow that anymore……pardon? 😆

    Of course it is…..

    Still don’t like it though 🤣

    Dapol 08

    boxbrownie replied to Kickstart's topic in Dapol

    I’ve used it in everything, even with a 7mm sound `Heljan it’ll last around four seconds or so, more than enough but TBH on most Heljan diesels and their weight I am not so sure they even need it 😁
