  1. Yes that was me on 090, I did give you a wave, but the groundstaff was doing a brake test and then we were getting hoofed out. That wind does cut across EMG
  2. You miserable sod !!! You could of come and said Hello !!!!😁
  3. How about the BR Traction Manuals, (Working Instructions), Has a overview detail of the unit, plus underframe equipment ??? Worth a note that the manual for this one is Class 143 and 144
  4. No we were the very late running 4L76, basically DB took the decision to let it leave EMG after network rail promised road would be open at 21.30, I relieved at Peterborough at 03.50. after it was held back, we made it as far as Manea, waitng for the 4 in front to get remanned, 2 in front of me got Run round at Ely, as we were 100m from the Station, 66017 decided AWS was function negative and came to an abrupt halt.
  5. I wouldn't be surprised !! but fine print is usually more fine than my eyes😄
  6. Picking up on something that has been puzzling me !! The missus who works in a retail industry where they had a whatsapp group chat, that I stress was for internal employees only! they shared images of known shoplifters (backed up by the store CCTV footage) so there was no misunderstanding. So that all employees had a reference of who was coming instore to lift something. After a management change, this was promptly stopped, citing breaking GDRP So question being, how is this a problem, but your ebay transactions are free to be passed on to HMRC
  7. Give over !!!! Theres a general election on the horizon, don't you know. They'll all be knocking on my door canvassing what a great idea they're putting forward. And actually believe it themselves. Reality ------- there is Stagecoach No 46 runs 7 times on a weekday, last departure 17.45. Hardly an oversubscribed route !!! So how we going to fill a Class 153 or anything longer ??? Election Hot Air
  8. You may want to look at Mountsorrel fuelling shed too, they look very similar abeit Mountsorrel's is grey
  9. The reason was shunting !!! One of EWS grand schemes was to bin the Class 08s so, LDCs stipulated when shunting 2 drivers must be used to see shunters etc, then came the wing mirrors and hey presto we could shunt on our own.
  10. Does a bear hang his Charmin on a branch in the woods ???
  11. Vote for a 141 from me !!! and definitely a 151 😉
  12. Hiya Charlie Your an absolute gentleman thank you, I assume you just gently tug them out ??
  13. Hiya Charlie Yes it was off a well know auction site probably well over a year ago, at the time nothing was ever mentioned about DCC let alone sound. and I'm still locked in the technology less era. So just running on DC. But engine starts and revs fine and lights work correctly just they pull away from one another If you promise not to laugh ......... on an analogue Lima controller
  14. Thanks for that Tony, I have zero DCC idea and it was quite a surprise to hear a 156 fire into life on DC
  15. I'm hoping for a flash of inspiration please I have a Class 156 for a while and have changed the body shells, so making sure i haven't ham-fisted it, I put both vehicles on the track for the first time with me. powered up and both sound fired into life and engines revved and nothing, lights are on, it would appear the each vehicle is going in opposite directions, causing it not to go anywhere ................ BUT i'm DC only !!! so you can imagine the surprise to hear the engine spark into life !! Now the problem being I have no DCC equipment whatsoever. so basically how can i get the vehicles heading in the same direction Thanks all
  16. They were indeed !!! I also was told that Toton TMD had to be registered as a nuclear installation in case all 135 we in the vicinity !!! I never worked out if tha was true or not !!
  17. Strange you brought this up, We in the federal republic of Wisbeckistan have just had our local councillor having a moan that is seem that the idea for Heavy rail between March and Wisbech has been quietly put on the very back burner and the favour would seem to be a tram !!!!!!!
  18. Lev 1 - 3 Class 140 Class 151 ?? Prototypes for pacer/sprinters
  19. I believe the site was taken down about 2 years ago ish
  20. Are you sure it was a 158 ?? They had a 156 a while ago memory says 503 or 504
