I was joking! You'll just have to keep an eye out for £15 Class 37's!

 

[Boothby97]

I think the wheel of a Class 37 might cost more than £15!
Maybe I could steal a Class 37 from EMR Kingsbury!

How hard can it be? Just hot wire the train, drive it down the line (of course, there won't be any other trains about!!) whilst navigating lights, junctions and level crossings. Then pull up somewhere, negotiate the small matter of quietly getting it off the track and onto the back of your Ford Fiesta, then drive it home (at 2mph, or the train could fall off, still, nobody will be watching). Arrive home, get it off your Ford, through the front door and into your garden. Though it'll have to stay in the shed for a few years or somebody might just go 'hey, there's that stolen 37!'

Nah just paint over its TOPS numbers, then no one will know which 37 it is. Simples!

Unfortunately, I don't have a shed and do you know I'm 14 next month, I don't have a driving license, and another thing it would take for ever to drive from Kingsbury to Cleethorpes.
I know, next month for my birthday I could either a) ask for a Class 37 for my Birthday or b) Get a car and driving lessons for my birthday.

Well, it looks like we're going to have to take the 'pull it home with a rope' option!

Beware, the local train depot is probably crawling with cameras and security dogs, not to mention metre high fencing and a direct alarm link to the nearest police station.

I hope I don't see you on the front of tomorrows newspapers, charged with train theft!

You read tomorrows Daily Telegraph, I'm going be on the front.
I'm in a jail cell, but I sneaked a computer in with me to give you this update!

You'll be an accessory

The 37's at EMR are not on rail, they are standing in the mud! Or at least they were when I was last there!

I wish I could buy a locomotive so it could be used as a garden feature.[/QUOTE]

I am tempted to suggest that if you buy a 66 and put it in the garden it would make a lovely conversation when you argue with the planning department that you don't need permission because it's a shed...:roll:

Oh, I forgot about that. Do you think they'd trace me? *cell door slams*

Nice thinking as "Shed" is the nickname for a Class 66

That may have been the point...

I know you're on a posting spree, but still, thinking continues to be important .

Could you go back and neaten up the quote in that post for me please, I fell a little obsessive compulsive today .

 

[HST Power]

A posting spree indeed!

Over seventy posts on day one!
