Cheers Chief!

Chaps, given this tour is now booked 60163 plus pilot diesel Exeter-Plymouth-Exeter, has anybody got any idea what the diesel is going to be? Is a 67 a possibility? Also, the operator site suggests a provisional time of 14:00 at Plymouth - not seen any timings yet (have just checked...

Fantastic! Thanks one and all.:D

Great, thanks again!:D

Applied to join that last week. No reply yet, hence posting here. Are you able to share?

Thanks for that, I really appreciate it. I've had a look at the IRN forum, (still waiting for membership to be approved), and cobbled together a piecemeal running order from that based on October & November observations, so this gen is very useful. I've trawled everywhere looking for diagrams...

Hi Chaps, Visiting Cork in June and wondered if anyone had the diagrams for the GM-hauled services to Dublin? I've been told by other people that DMUs are starting to take over everywhere, so any gen would be appreciated. Also, any good photography locations between Cork & Limerick...

Driver experience at the Valley is excellent - I did D821 last year. Brilliant day out.

I'd agree with that to a degree - stick a 14 or a Hymek on it....:wink: Personal choice would be Bere Alston - Okehampton, hydraulics and Bulleids only. :D

My post wasn't a Leftist hatefest, OT. I was on BR under both parties and am well aware of the damage Blair did - hence 'Son of Thatcher'. I lay the blame at both parties' doors. I was also in the NHS under both parties and the damage being done now is too much, too fast and without proper...

James were the epitome of Indie. I saw them in Plymouth for £1.25 when they'd just signed to Factory. When I mentioned Indie in my post I did mean 80s/early 90s Indie. Although several of my favourite Indie funsters eventually went to major labels (James, New Order, Cud, Wedding Present), they...

Enforced by the EU, like lots of legislation in many areas. Member States are supposed to play by EU rules. The last government may not have been perfect, but privatisation of the railways is why we are in this situation today. Am I bitter? Yes I am, being an ex-railwayman. Why? Because now I...

Don't know if it fits here really, but if it came to Fantasy Island I would have stopped D818 Glory getting the gas axe and put her back in running order, but with NBL engines and Voith transmissions as a Class 43, because there is a machine sadly missing from today's preserved hydraulic scene...

Never. No No No. Are we talking Reggae, Lovers Rock, Dub, Bluebeat? Let alone the modern re-inventions like ragga and dub-step? It will never ever fit. Why? It's a totally different beat. Soul and Funk is 4/4 time, Reggae (which evolved from Ska) isn't. Heresy to put them...

Grinds teeth in dismay.... :evil: The Generator 47s are 46s with not enough wheels. Ergo, they are inferior. Peaks are Peaks. Yes, I know about the internal gubbins etc., but they preceded the Duffs. In fact, there are fewer Peaks because they needed a lighter type 4 so the electricals...
