Once came across a product made by a company (name omitted in case they are still trading) called "Caterburgers", allegedly due to the lack of meat in the product.

There was a proposal to link the Marlborough GWR Branch with its Calne Branch to create a through route. However there was a GWR Bus 🙂 Marlborough - Calne GWR Bus link poster 1904 However as noted in the link below the higher ground at Yatesbury would pose an issue for a railway route. Comment on Calne Branch and extension Any warmer ?

Worked for a company and we had equipment containing Winchester Drives aka hard disks, and two data centres, one at Warrington and one in London, with a common spares pool , this sometimes required transfer between sites. After a couple of "Dead on Arrival" incidents when trying to fit a spare that had been moved between sites out of hours, it had to be impressed on staff, that motorcycle couriers were not to be used to move them.

2E Sub Shed replied to GW Jim's topic in USA & Canadian Railroads
Hi Have you looked on the TCS website and their DCC installations page. - TCS DCC installations They have a complete non Sound DCC installation into a Walthers FM H-10-44 described. - Walthers H10-44 DCC install The body removal instructions on it are : "The H-10-44 shell is attached to the frame with the screws through the front and rear coupler boxes. Remove the front and rear coupler boxes and the shell will pull right off." -

Detatching vehicles from through trains
2E Sub Shed replied to DavidBird's topic in UK Prototype Questions
I was at college in Bournemouth in 1979 / 1980 and have memories of an 08 and a parcels van in the bay at Bournemouth Central (opposite end, same side to that used by stopping services). Never saw the 08 in action at anytime. -
Detatching vehicles from through trains
2E Sub Shed replied to DavidBird's topic in UK Prototype Questions
Late 1960's I remember sitting on Northampton (Castle) Station and on several occasions observed Northbound parcels trains which would pull into the riverside platform and vans would be unloaded during an extended station stop. The other platform face of this island platform was used for Northbound Passenger trains. GPO traffic came out of Passenger train (EMU's) guards compartments and was met by GPO staff, the Sorting Office being remote in the Town Centre. However there was a large amount of outgoing traffic and the former Northbound bay platforms would both contain parcel stock, being filled with amongst other items, large quantities of inflated footballs in large paper sacks from Mettoy. Do not remember any detaching of vehicles. -
Unfortunately only works if you can be in when the Postie calls, although I work from Home some days, I can still be dispatched at 0 mins notice.

Best excuse for non-payment for a completed auction was "my girlfriend won't let me spend the money". In slowly selling a large collection on eBay I have had several cancelled three day old bids with reason "entered wrong amount", which gets an immediate promotion to my blocked bidders list, as does non-payment. - However blocked bidders, blocked for non-payment, come back with new eBay ID's. Slow payers are another problem as they generate additional trips to the Post Office.

Not even boxed ! Good condition ? Google defines it as "fit for intended purpose, of satisfactory quality, not damaged and capable of any agreed standard of performance" This weeks trainee must be from another universe.

Probably a result of the conversion of paper records into electronic format, (done off-shore I believe), where a cut-off date for clinical history being entered took place. Myself, it omitted a long and protracted period of issues and the hospital investigations, and for her indoor's significant surgery in her pre-teen years, both of which have a significant bearing on our current health.

Unusual reasons for delays...
2E Sub Shed replied to Nick C's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
A friend who regularly commuted to London from Swindon in the 90's, experienced a delayed journey due to "llamas on the line".
