Oh if it was only that easy. With 25 years as mental health nurse I can speak as with experience on this subject. Suicide is often difficult to predict, and ironically its not those who have no money or happiness who are most likely to jump under a train. Its those with implusive natures...

Todays 1F00 Willesden PRDC - Warrington RMT hauled by 87002 at Longport http://colinburgess.fotopic.net/p62799930.html Happy new year all!!

The flange on the wheel is designed to hit the rail. Its the flange hitting the rail that causes the change in direction hence why they go round corners. The squeal can be down the the back of the wheel hiiting the check rail but most of the noise comes from but in most cases. The flange...

87002 was on the mails this morning from Willesden to Warrington (1F00/1M00) and is routed via Colwich-Stone-Stoke-Crewe. One of the few non pendolinos to use that line. Sadly i was in bed and missed it.

I've had colder trains, but it wasn't exactly tropical on the train. opened the windows in the tunnels, much to the dismay of fellow travellers, but the hot exhaust helped push a litte heat in through the windows. 47798 was suggested as heat but i was told it failed to start (no surprise there)...

With the freezing cold weather my finger was welded to the shutter realease button, but I'm Always trigger happy and there will always be someone who says that you should have waited a bit or shot sooner. With digital it costs nothing to develop and store them so I just rattle away at the...

I've been a Damned fan since I was 11 and thats a good while ago. I just wish that I knew then that the Captain (Real name Ray Burns ex toilet cleaner) was a train fan, as it would have stopped some of the grief I got from my school freinds that thought liking railways was just 'not a punky...

Looks like another Chuggington Experiment gone wrong. Quick send for Underground ernie. Either way its the future

Don't you know anything:roll::roll: It's so they can catch more pigeons.:D:D Its all to do with giving better clearnce on some routes

I have more cameras than Jessops, well thats what the missus says. Nowadays i use a Canon 40D. with either of the two leness that came with it. (As soon as I've saved a grand and a bit I'll be getting a decent lens for it. I have a Canon 350D as backup and various Canon SLR, Pentax...

It doesn't turn a wheel without it been reported on gen sites/lists by someone. Froth is enthusiast term for over excited, etc As for the air horns they never had a problem on the GE before and surely the DRS ones still have roof mounted horns? and they are over there at present on the...

Ran as far as Walsall at lunchtime after some problems morning. What with class 37,s having their air horns moved to the bonnett and the odd looking class 70 looks like Chuggington and Underground Ernie are taking over the rail network

Not quite the shade of blue under the grime is a bit too red.

DB Schencker (Formerly EWS) own the 37. Where have you been for the past few months?? 37425 is currently froth central since both repainted DBS tractors 670+419 went pop.
