Was on the DN sleeper last night :wink:

What a pathetic dig at FGW!, so i suppose that track circuit failures/points failures/trespassers on the line/snow etc etc are FGW's fault??? Mmmm FGW have come leaps an strides compared to a few years back but its easy to blame them than think about the real cause of delays hey!

i have seen the refurbed interior and i wouldn't hold your breath its more of a 'refreshment' than a refurb', the PIS looks better, lilac walls new seat covers an thats about it:wink:

OOC send them round the greenford loop if 'wrong way' round, nearly every day i see one going round there ;o)

Err that is not correct, big use is made of engine braking on diesel powered trucks, using exhaust brakes. a Diesel engine is a very high compression engine and as such is very good at 'engine braking', i've worked with and driven diesel driven trucks, mobile cranes, cars for over 25yrs. if you...

Tell your conductor mate to come to HEx and train as a driver, i can tell you now he won't even get thru the first assessment stage!. Also for the record we learn 2 types of traction (332 also 360/2's) both on very different types of service one express the other a tightly timed commuter...

lol no probs chap:D

Always were 70ton, dunno where the 76ton came from unless you're looking at the weight of the prototypes?

Traction packs on 332/333's are different type so no they'll stay the same:wink: All the electric Desi's are getting it, drives a bit better too :)

You will notice a difference in sound as we're modding the traction packs on our units, 203 already done :wink: Its a similar mod as undertaken with the 450's

I'm well aware of that i'm not a kiddie, if you read a couple of posts up you'll see a post about the noise ;o)

You also have to take into account the 3 different types of silencers involved. All 3 locomotive types (57/66/67) are fitted with essentially the same type of engine an EMD 2stroke V12 (66/67 slightly bigger bore and electronically controlled), The 66 will be the quietest type in having the...

if you can get one that works and cleared for the mainline possibly ;o)

Hmmm! now that is not strictly true, it's more to do with capacity at DIRFT than cost! Unlike DBS knocking that goes on 'at any cost'!!

Nope they have a system when they reach 25-30mph (don't know exact speed) that 'pushes' out the door into the seals so you get none of the banging when another train passes or when you enter tunnels (which is handy as there's a few!) having travelled on them it works very well, best of both worlds!

Line 4 particularily between subway junc an royal oak

That AWS size is standard kit now,part of the TPWS/AWS fitment our 360's are the same size, not sure about that DSD pedal, i suspect that the whole plate is the reset plate an not just the black plastic bit, tho i do agree it does look a bloody mess!, those screens could have been put next to...

Have one sitting in my cabinet ;o) Silverfox do a RTR OO gauge model

That Colas 66 ran down that way so poss might with that on the front?

As it ran yesterday (wed) i take it it won't be running today (thurs?)
