Class 150 at Man Picc

[Phil6219]

by that point you could just buy 100 class 172s and declare 150145 as a retail unit and lease it off to SSP...

Brilliant idea! The preservation railways tend to have a carriage stabled at a spare platform for the usual model & spotter shop. Maybe Ian Allen could move a few doors down to this new prime retail unit.

On a serious note I saw a 150 a few weeks ago in platform eleven a bit late on in the day and it seemed to be revving it's ballhooks off and I mean seriously revving as though it had a stuck throttle, yet there was no bugger about and it was just left alone. The only thing is I am positive that this was a 150/2...

but anyone else here who has ever tried to free a ceased floating jornal bearing will know you don't want to be doing that on your back. Or with an audience, that you would gain by doing this on the station

I sense a perfect opportunity for a time lapse video clip

I was doing it once with a low(ish) load journal with bearing shells that had welded together, took nearly 3 hours, as you can imagine, the load on a final drive will be higher...

I see it's still there.

I'm guessing their plan now is to wait for someone to invent the Transporter so they can beam it out

 

[Nym]

Nah, turn it into a shop

It was still there this evening. I wonder how long it will be before NR start charging rent?

It now been moved, but only into the siding next to Plt 1

Wondering if they just dragged it, to hell with the final drive, just minimise the distance, or if they actually managed to put it on skates...
