Just to close off a few points (if Al will let me) Re only having the juice rail live when a train is in section - the 'safe' third rail as used...
I know a lot of this signwriter discussion is hypothetical but it feels unreal. At both heritage lines I've worked at, there are more than enough...
Thanks is for the replies. Cosmo is correct, when driver training I was told "no-one gets hurt til the regulator gets opened". Do other railways...
Tom I can see your logic here, my question was more from a competency angle. I can see the logic in a fireman knowing how to stop a train in an...
In terms of steam operation yes, but all other trains will be running with just the booked driver in normal circumstances. Also another person...
I'm not sure what the mainline rule book says 'to the letter', but if the driver is incapacitated another driver would have to be found. There is...
It's known as the perisher, google / youtube that perhaps.
I'm fascinated by this one. Is this 'emergency driving' a formalised competency? Do you have any refreshers? I'm interested because I'm...
And yet you appear to be suggesting that more stuff should be acquired unless there is a compelling reason not to? Is too many toys for the toybox...
I understand what you are saying, but I've yet to see a compelling argument for doing it (in this case buying + restoring the unit at Dartmoor).
Surely Bluebell has more than enough locomotives - they don't need a 33?! The 09 for rescue and back of house stuff seems ok, but there isn't a...
Plus 1 for this ;)
If you were going to the lengths of fitting batteries you could probably put enough in to power the trains for a couple of runs (if not a whole...
on the home page of their site is the line "We would intend that the train be able to power itself by using one of the cars as a battery-carrying...
I realise you cannot know this, but I live up the road and have driven through the village of Ardingly twice today on the school run :D. You are...
With respect, try doing that today. I don't think you'd get off the drawing board. Plus, I confess I've not been to Crich for about 35 years, but...
I can't see an electric only heritage line being successful. I've heard about the electric branch line to Ardingly many times, but I just cannot...
Tom, I've snipped your post down but need to pick a slight hole in your normally excellent logic. An electric multiple unit is fundamentally a...
Martin, if these are anything like either the 1972 or 1995 stock that I was trained on with the Underground, there is very little spare room under...
There is a facebook group for British Railway Maps and Diagrams - could offer for sale there?
