    Call for all real 377/387 drivers [TSW question]

    I don’t sign the route you are on about but have been a driver since 1991. The correct way to drive is how you describe in the second part using the gradient’s to control the speed of your train. I used to sign 400s also 375s but now drive 59s and 66s.

    Moving TOC as a PQA or experienced driver

    I know, it’s ridiculous. I suppose it comes under a lapse of concentration, making it a safety of the line incident.

    My Settle & Carlisle style viaduct - OO Gauge Layout

    I remember travelling on them when I was young when I lived near Margate. i just wish a refurbished unit would be produced as I used to drive them when I worked on Southeastern based at Faversham.
