    I think that the Ratio hoist was the one at Laira, but I expect that they were pretty much the same.

    If that's the case, why did they spend the money on a judicial review? Fitting CDL isn't a 5 minute job, we (DML) got 6 weeks to turnaround a HST set.

    I don't know about your particular diagram, but all the sleepers that I have travelled in had clear glass and either blinds or curtains.

    I wasn't thinking so much for construction work, more when maintenance is required, track cleaning, recovery of recalcitrant stock etc.
  5. Siberian Snooper
    Biscuits!

    When I were a kid, 60 odd years ago, getting off a moving slam door train was de rigueur. Nelson's first and then BIGs, CEPs and finally VEPs. The odd SUB and LAV.

    In the diary, I now have to work out the logistics.

    Seems to be more of the same from WCRC.

    You can get 2021 bits and/or kits from Dave Ellis at Nucast Partners, I recently started building a saddle tank and lost a couple of the splashers, a phone call to him resulted in the recalcitrant parts, plus an unexpected bonus an Armstrong Standard Goods with a Dean tender. I don't have the contact number to hand, but if you pm on Tuesday morning, to remind me to find it. It's currently too cold to go over the workshop as a special trip.

    Will you be building a cover for the drop-down section, to avoid damaging it whilst it's down and you're up against working on the main board?

    I was under the impression that the terminus was going to be Euston, one day, I hadn't realised that it was going to be Brighton Sea Front.

    I used to use an optovisor, but some years ago I read somewhere about asking the optician for a pair of prescription X3 glasses a BOGOF. I find them a boon, once I got used to them and if things get really tiny, I use the optovisor as well.

    I need to fit handrails to a couple of Parkside Micas, but so far I have not yet plucked up the courage to have a go.

    A belated Happy Birthday.

    I was taught to do loco handrails in two halves which join in the smokebox top handrail knob.
  16. Siberian Snooper
    Is there any way of getting a side elevation of those curved supports?
  17. Siberian Snooper
    Can you please post a link or two, to the YouTube videos, I'm struggling to get my head around it, more so than I did with Templot. Thanks.

    When I was in Washington last September and had a look at the White House through the railings I came across a bloke with a secret service written on his bulletproof jacket, I said to him that to me it didn't seem to be very secret, he just smiled and walked on.

    If I have an 'at on, I always take it orf when I enter a pub, is that good enough?

    Would that lead to Exter, Plymouth and back to Exeter from Liskeard? Or will Plymouth be absorbed into Exeter?

    I don't think that I'll be holding my breath, any time soon!!!

    It's about time that another set of crossings are installed on that section, to break it in two, to reduce the time it takes for a train to pass through the section. The number of times there's been perturbation through there, recently.

    Is that Tiverton or Tiverton Junction? There's also Maiden Newton, the run round was a gravity shunt move as per the Princetown branch at Yelverton.

    Pulborough heading towards Arundell.

    Mike the station master is your best bet for such information. The GW were pretty parsimonious in providing permanent speed restriction signs, there's were circular mostly black, with a white circle and the speed within. Newer BR signs are to the standard of the time.
