Grand Central HSTs?

[Sir_Clagalot]

yes thanks :-P Is 61 enough for you?! (My record stands at 124 in under half an hour!!)
Not sure if I can post any, as I was taking them by request of the management. I will make some enquiries.

 

[diligentdave]

Yup, 084 was looking MUCH better finish wise! The shed got clagged out nicely with both 67 & 80 running! I think I met diligentdave!!

Yes,indeed you did.I hope most of your pics outside the train come out all misty, as the amount of clag that was around looked quite atmospheric.

[Jord]

To ease your confusion Jord..Myself(BOSCH) & Sir Clagalot work for GC,diligent dave works at heaton for Northern "abraiding" people,whatever that is(sorry dave) !!!

 

[Sir_Clagalot]

But we aren't drivers (yet!) I didn't twig who you were diligentdave until I was on my way home!!
Pics have come out nicely, Tom was impressed, and has already made his selection for the ones he wants on the website!!

 

[Jord]

So you will become drivers like? are you learning etc?

 

[Sir_Clagalot]

Bosch will be moving up to "Shunter Driver" in January, I will probably have to wait another year or two.

 

[BOSCH]

So you will become drivers like? are you learning etc?

Myself and another colleague(not SC,YET) will be starting training in the new year to become depot(shunt)drivers and then eventually main line drivers (presuming we pass everything of course) but when I do I promise to keep "clagging" !!!

 

[Sir_Clagalot]

I thought I was Sir Clagalot.?

 

[BOSCH]

I thought I was Sir Clagalot.?

Im abbreviating to annoy m8internet(where is he by the way ???)

 

[Sir_Clagalot]

dunno, perhaps we've scared him off!! I was actually refering to you saying you'll keep clagging!

 

[Jord]

Ah ok [about the driving bit] good luck anyway

 

[diligentdave]

OK,which one did you think I was SC?
The important looking one or the one running around like a looney with bits of train in his hand?

 

[Donny Dave]

KNowing you, you'll have been the looney

 

[Sir_Clagalot]

Were you the one who, when realising I had hold of a camera, said "I'll talk to you later" (or similar), then disappeared off down the train with a load of tools in his hand?

As you have spoken to me before David,then yes, correct.
SC,when you turned up I knew who you was,as you had spoken of your intentions on this very site.
And yes,as I wended my merry way down the train,I did iterate "I'll talk to you later!", as indeed I have.

Not sure about Legendary.....Legweary maybe after walking up and down between P/C's all day long.

At least one of the faults is now cured.

22:45 ONE Life
The Train You've Been Waiting For

Ian Yeowart and Sean English want to do something no one has done for a hundred years - start a new railway company from scratch. Grand Central is its name and Marilyn Monroe its inspiration. Filmed over a year, we see Sean and Ian's enthusiasm turn to exasperation as the work takes longer... and longer... and longer. Deadlines are set, and missed, and eventually it dawns on them - Grand Central is a company missing one vital ingredient - trains. The film provides a metaphor for the state of a once-great industry, but it's also an affectionate portrait of a small but dedicated group of people who just want some trains to play on.

Indeed, very nice. It was partly that you said you took it with you most days, and most canon EOS owners I know have a small point n shoot they carry day to day. My comment was also that i would have thought the GC PR dept would have had their media photography team on board to do the lighting etc for teh shots so they were also of the suitable format for the press releases, website etc all in one go. It wasn't a personal dig! Honest.

Lurking in my (work) kit bag is a Nikon Coolpix 4200 4MP compact, as you never know what interesting piece of kit will be lurking around the network!!
