  2. So what happened to this in the last two years?
  3. Unfortunatly what you regard as dengerous does not count it is what the law says amounts to dangerous. In this case if the facts, as deduced from the evidence, simply could not, as a matter of law, amount to dangerous then the Judge is required to direct the jury to acquit. What appears to be wrong here is that if careless driving could be established from the facts then this could be put to the Jury to decide. I'm afraid that the CPS leave a lot to be desired in this and many other cases.
  4. Yes they can but it is normally to acquit (Clive Ponting case of recent times). There is a risk that the whole jury could be held in contempt of court however.
  5. Are you going to be making these rods available?
  6. If it is intended to provide something that can stand-up to this year's battering then I would suggest some form of rock armour is going to be needed. The problem with reflective walls is that they can be undermined quite easily. You need to de-energise the waves before they reach the sea wall.

  8. Look at this topic: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/41365-basic-dc-controller/
  9. While you are waiting why not order (Mitchell kit) one from David Geen - www.davidgeen.co.uk
  10. I was of course referring to the accident. The UK operation is to release air to cause the brakes to be applied and to pressurise to release the brakes. A failure, i.e. a break in the air line or an uncoupled wagon, will by default have the breaks applied. A failure also includes someone failing to manualy apply the brakes.
  11. Surely the root cause of the accident is not having fail-safe brakes.
  12. That is Flemish Garden wall bond.
  13. Sandwell and Dudley. Sandwell dosen't exist and Dudley is in another County Borough
  14. It's nothing to do with water tables it's to do with pore water presures in the slip mass.
  15. Then they will be waiting a long time because unless they start lowering the water table within the slip it ain't going to stop any time soon.
  16. Well if they are waiting for it to stabilise on its own they will be waiting years as the nature of these sort of rotational slip failures is that they continue to creep for a long time. You have three choices: off load the top, load the toe or lower the water table within the slope; or a combination of all three. The best is to get the pore pressures down but that's difficult now it's moving as the drains break. If it was me I would start piling rock on the toe, get it stabilised and then get some effective drains into the slope.
  17. I assume you mean 12 Hornblocks? You usualy have the four outer hornblocks resting on their stops on level track. The two centre hornblocks arethen usualy adjusted so they have about 0.5mm upward movement on level track.
  18. The 1938 edition was an emergency edition because of impending war. They were not going to be concerned with the niceties of railway sidings. The map will have been based on the 192x edition.
  19. There used to be the towers on Sedgley Beacon: http://www.sedgleymanor.com/historical/beacon_tower.html

    The problem with the Peco turnouts is the end of the switch rails dangling in space rather than supported on a slide chair. Very toy like.
