In response to point 1. Yes that is what "can" happen if someone leans right out of the window of a moving train! I have never leaned that far out and I am not that daft :). I was always careful and if necessary, I pulled back into the safety of the coach when lineside objects were coming up (I...

I have three favourites. Class 60 (Because they sound like a GE Dash 8 and sound lovely to me!) Class 319 (I love the sound of the traction motors) Class 185 (I love the sound of the Cummins QSK19)

I own TSW and I am looking forward to getting this add-on if the immersion of the CSX Heavy Haul is anything to go by :).

Not even worth a reply. I always put my cap in my bag before I open the window to have a look at the train as it goes around the curve. Although I have lost a couple of hats in the past from an open top bus but I never wear a hat when window hanging on a train as a flying hat could be a hazard...

I have quoted the above from the train driver rulebook which should be helpful on all possible uses of the train horns. Personally I liked it when the drivers used to give two tones at the "W" boards as I think they sound better, but that was back in the BR days :).

I have ways and means of learning about facts although I am going to refuse to post my sources as there is too many people that cannot handle the truth as clearly evident by some of the past snide remarks which I feel it is rather childish to say the least in my opinion. It is indeed because I...

Well I am still here and in one piece, but I use my brain and common sense :). Not my fault if some people ignore the warning signs and they lean right out and come off the worse is it? :roll:. I enjoy my hobby of flailing and I always look in the direction of travel and I am always prepared...

Having fond memories of seeing 89001 back in the days with GNER in around 2002ish. I am pleased to see that work is being carried out on this unique locomotive. I don't know if a railtour with a Mk4 set could be viable when the IEP's replace these trains in 2018? But I would love to ride behind...

Best of 5: Class 60 With AP Sounds Class 43 HST Enhancement Pack (All versions) Class 150/1 with Enhancement Pack Class 40 Pack AP Class 67 Pack DTG Worst: Class 321 DTG (poor quality textures) Class 220 DTG (just get the JT one instead) Class 56 (poor sounds and textures) Class 8P...

I thought that all carriages had these warning signs as a safety requirement that look like this one I took last year on a HST :). HST Warning Sign. by BritishRail60062, on Flickr Its risky to lean out when the train is moving but I limit myself to 6 inches maximum and pull back in when a...

I am at a lost as to what you are referring to in all honesty. With ignorance? Yeah that works a treat! :lol:. Cheers mate. Oh and keep up with the nasty snide comments (from some of you) as my ignore list is growing nicely ;). I fully understand that there is a lot of people on here that...

This year. I have been doing a few trips on the railway as back in June. I bought myself one of those East Midlands Rover 3 in 7 Day Pass and here is my June report summary. June 13th 2017. Oakham to Peterborough (Bus) Peterborough to Newark Northgate (Class 91 225 set) Newark Northgate to...

Maybe that is the case. To be honest, as I am not an American and neither have I lived in America as of yet. So unfortunately I am not in a position to explain how their politics or voting system works. But I am truly confused as to why Donald Trump is President if Hilary won as the media claims...

I think Brush should rebuild some Class 60's as I stand by this because if they rebuild some Class 60's for GBRF. They could use a traction package from ABB and rebuild the cabs with new control consoles and also add new functionality like regenerative braking that would be implemented into the...

Here is my thoughts and perhaps an honest question for you. If Hilary Clinton won the election. Why is Donald Trump president? I have my reasons to be skeptical of the mainstream media although I will keep my reasons to me and my friends only :). That is entirely up to you mate. Although I am...

I have driven a few types of vehicles on and off. On the road: Land Rover Series 3 Vauxhall Corsa (too small for me) Vauxhall Astra BMW 3 Series 328i Mercedes Sprinter Private Land 1984 Leyland Olympian 2002 Dennis Trident Alexander ALX400 Soon to be going on a Train Driver...

Shortbread dipped into some molten galaxy chocolate :).

To be honest with you mate. Having not owned a television since 2004. I am very skeptical to what any mainstream media might say, post or show. In all honesty, I take everything that the mainstream media says with a pinch of salt :).

Haha! Guilty as charged mate. I put that down to being a Scorpio moon with lots of Aries in my chart :). I like it mate, although sometimes I do regret cleaning my glasses with rub-in alcohol as my spec are a bit too HD than I am liking. On the flipside though. If I was an American, I would have...

I could be mistaken here. But I thought I saw one of those Class 700's in the compound at Peterborough last week for possible testing. So I am wondering if the PBO-KGX are to get some Class 700's at some point soon? I am a bit confused considering that there has been some Class 387's operating...
