Quite agree.

Also a channel called I think 'freightlinedriver'or something similar where he uses a camera fixed to his hat! Very interesting, although a bit disconcerting when he suddenly swivels round to look out of the side window! Mostly of south/south east plus Acton and cricklewood etc:

The class 73 loco's had problems way back in that when they didn't use the diesel engine for a long period, the big-end bearings suffered from brinnelling due to the vibrations from track inequalities.

Surely wooden keys and dreadful bullhead track are no loger used in serious applications/

Williams and Schapps do not warrant their names being attached to anything serious.

Re previous post, this obviously also applies to Southern and any other conductor rail system. Also to Tramlink etc: although not so likely to be contacted by livestock.

The current on L U is D C as you say,but is not particularly well smoothed(not necessary for application ) and has a strong ripple on it from the A C supply. This would sound the same to a hum seeking animal.

First 'car' was a 1950's Ford Ten van with offset engine etc: reg: N U W 424. How about that then?

Mods note - split from this thread: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/mk-3-ex-fgw-first-class-being-used-for-a-thai-restaurant.213640/ For a long time, there was a Mk1 coach down on the pavement near Deptford station in use as a snack bar--don't know if it's still there.

Come in under budget??? you must be joking!

Door used to be in the narrow roadway at west side of St: P in the angle as the road turned sharp left. Think it has disappeared with the re-building -St P Thameslink sta:

Not quite as bad as these, but signal duty in the old St: Pancras tunnel box.

Quite agree.

2H A L 's and Schools class 4 4 0's (guess how old I am!)

Thanks very much. M D

Very interesting. Oh.those clipped all-british voices but noticed that the dreaded loud intrusive background music is begginning to rear it's ugly head!

Are there any photos extant of L U tube stock crossing the Forth Bridge on their way for overhaul in a Scottish dockyard (cant remember the name)?

Surely this track-bed should be retained---- it's an obvious case that it might be needed for a direct route in the future ,not completely obliterated by buildings etc:--but then this is the short-term lack of vision prevalent in the 50/60's by jobsworths in bowler hats and wire-rimmed specs...

Don't seem to really make anything in this country now.

Thanks for that B M
