Just come back from a weekend filled with travel on Northern 158s. They were all (save one) in disgusting condition inside. Some even had a medley of different seat cover patterns and carpet patterns, meeting in the middle of the car. Two units were very quiet - engine sound wise - but the...

Can I do this? Normally I hop on, the conductor comes down and sells me a ticket to where I want to go. Fine. But I want a return ticket to come back on a different day (going sat, coming back sun) can I do this on the train, or must it be done in advance?

Right so admittedly it has been a couple of years since I have used a train here on the Hull branch. This evening I popped down to Ferriby station for a couple of hours just to see what's going on now. Must say I was pretty surprised that all Northern's workings were all 158s and all FTPE's...

I'm not meaning to tread on anyone's toes here etc... but I just thought I'd show my work so far on this - as I don't seem to be able to find one already done. The train I'm using is the 170 from Trainsimcentral. I haven't modified the train files and if I do distribute this it will be...

Firstly this route is amazing. I love it and love driving it. Kudos to the author and those involved! I'm having a little bit of trouble with this particular diagram, but don't know if it's me or not! Towards the beginning of the run I tend to end up chasing yellows, and sometimes...

The class 43 has to be my favourite traction I think. However I don't actually know all that much about them - so, I have some questions. How many units were built? Were all the powercars paired up and that was it? Or have they been paired differently throughout their careers? Were the...

Which dmus currenfly have the oldest engines? What sort of mileages arw they likely to be at?

Do these run MTU jobbies? I've just spent a weekend down in london and seen plenty of power cars - they're a bit noisy ain't they!? Travelled on one when the MTU units were new and noticed how quiet the power unit was. Two EC powercars sounded positively horrible on my travels! Almost like...

Right. I was on one of these t'other evening. All very nice it were. I do have a few questions though. 1) Which vegetables exactly do HT have? 2) How many trips between Hull / London does one set do per day? also any ideas on daily mileage? 3) What faults have arisen since they've been...

Right when I used to use trains the engines on the 153/5/8 units were always off until a couple of minutes till departure (sometimes the guards would close the doors before they were started). They were then started and left idling until departure. I have recently started using trains again...
