    Parts of Liverpool were closed off today after a suspicious looking object was seen in a car. Police later comfirmed it was just a tax disc.

    The Grim Reaper came to see me last night, but I grabbed the vacuum cleaner and fought him off. Talk about Dyson with Death....

      That's a bit harsh

    How about getting the track and ballast airbrushed?

    I believe that on the class 74's the circuit boards were in racks with slide in connectors like the 'eurocard' style computer boards used in the early systems, which may have explained why vibration was such a problem. The boards were probably fairly easy to change, but expensive.

    My avatar is a picture of the data panel on D5900.

    I have heard that the Baby Deltics are now due out in March.

    DP2 was a success because it didn't have all the electronic crud crammed into the class 50's. I think BR may have had a hand in the addition of the 'embrionic brain' to the class 50 design. At the time the class 50's were coming into service, BR had also rebuilt 10 class 71's as class 74's, which were also packed full of solid state electronic control equipment. Even though it was unsucessful at the time, it paved the way for the modern computer controlled traction equipment that does work (most of the time).

    DP2 would have probably have been cannibalized and withdrawn by the early 70's under the National Traction Plan as a non-standard design.

    Look on the bright side, it could be worse, it could be a Baby Deltic.

    Cracking modelling photo's in your gallery, Ron. Superb modelling, looking forward to watching the project progress.

    Charlie Connor's 'Houndsditch' layout. I believe the closed station is based on 'St Mary's, Whitechapel.

    What an absolute tragedy the D6319 was cut by mistake - the last class 22 overhauled, and the last in existence.

    A view from Jim Connor's 'Sidney Street' (North London Railway) layout which we retired from the exhibition circuit a couple of years ago:

    The NBL built MAN engines in class 21 and 22 probably went 'thudda-thudda-thudda' most of the time anyway, possibly followed by a lot of swearing and cursing from the depot staff.

    The Jouef 40 is a bit crude, but it does have the character of a class 40 about it. Aswell as stripped worm gears, watch out for the worm flying off the shaft and the loco stopping and sitting there screaming its guts out. The wheels do have the classic Jouef 'pizza cutter' flanges which run on the sleeper chairs.

    I love the smell of diesel in the morning!

    I liked them with the wipers at the top, as they always reminded me of a BELL UH1 'Iraquiois' The headcode boxes ruined the front ends aswell, of course.
  24. Baby Deltic
    I think the position of the windscreen wipers made the class 29's look particulaly ugly with full yellow ends, compared to the class 22's.

    Nice work there. The only thing I think it needs is a proper footplate between the tender and loco. You can't have the loco crew dicing with death every time they step over the gap between the loco and tender.
