    Wot! No mention of me prattling on about boiler regulations and correcting posters? And, to be pedantic, you create a vacuum, not generate one. :);)
    A bit of advice; stay clear of the WSR thread.

    Derek it just doesn’t work like that, it is far more complex.

    To be honest I didn't expect a logical response from CoT, however your reply has given me a laugh to start the day with! Thanks Tom!

    Steady on - we'll have 5 pages of breakfast cereal debate if you're not careful:)

    Would discussing sugar coating be regarded as a livery debate...?

    Cereal's not very historical, I bet in pre-grouping days they had bacon and egg (or porridge north of the border)

    Very true, as it operates on air, unlike the big island, though that does need a Vacuum, Some air, though can get a bit hot at times, but saying that some times it does suck the life out of a conversation, :)

    I'm now waiting to see how long it takes engineering to steam 24, grab the LT ballast hopper as an translator wagon, and take 007 for a trip down the line to check clearances . either that or someone who don't think it being an electric, should be there, takes it back to Smallbrook up to the headshunt, and try to deliver it back to Island line ;)

    Not with 24, but it’s already been shunted by the 03 with the ballast hopper as a translator.
