I would like to keep that one under our hat since we have done a lot of work researching it and It will be handy if we get a chance to use it at some point. All I will say is it was a 1980s comedy.

Darn, now you've really got me intrigued indeed!

I seem to recall some local chancers trying to get not only nearly 30 people as "helpers" on their club layout during a 3 day weekend show, they then tried to claim their entire fuel expense... for every single day.  Their request for nearly $1000 was dismissed as ridiculous.

What are they sorry?

Not heard of them?

Size? Rough cost? Output? Normal application?

Thanks!!

DRS Group 7 or Group 20 motors would be a must!

Bury loco in your fire grate for six months.  Then offer for sale on eBay.

Oh, a fire sale.  Nice.

I have a lot of reasonably good photos, but I'm too lazy to crop out the bits that evidently make it look all a bit small scale.  However, I reckon this could fit the bill.

 

Gresley W2? A cut and shut, based on certain aspects of Gresley designs that were never built (the rear bogie comes from a proposed 4-8-4 locomotive!)

 

I'm going so far as to actually build this as a project for a staff competition on another forum:

 

 

Believable? No. Fun to design and now build? Yes, definitely. Once finished, it will be a fun bit of "playing with people's heads" when I get my dream exhibition layout built (in, oh, thirty years time...!)

Should be quite an interesting build when completed.

If railways were completely straight with no curves, points or uneven track, that would be a great loco.

The Short Haul Hercules cracked me up, priceless.
