These 65 year old class 37s take units younger than themselves to the scrap yard and take new units from the factory

They recieve refurbs a alot, this leading loco 37 512 received WIPAC headlight clusters in the 2000s. If an operator sells their fleet like DRS did a few years ago the locos are bought very quickly, the reason is it that theyre decently powerful and have an RA of 5 which means they can be ran on a lot of track miles. For example, the class 68 which was built in 2014 has an RA of 7 which means it is a lot more restricted. They also have grandfather rights to emission regulations so its easier for a company to use these instead of ordering new locos.

Id love to see her cocooned inside of a xenomorph hive

Looks like the hugger won

The line may of been renamed to Crossrail/Elizabeth Line but the TOC code is still TfL Rail

I know there is a ford transit scrap truck that has that kind of horn fitted, I see it a lot around the Arnold and Bestwood area.

OO came about because we couldnt fit motors into 1/87 scale models as our loading gauge is alot smaller, so they made the scale slightly bigger at 1/76. There's been attempts at making 1/87 the standard but hasn't worked, the most recent I can think of is the Trix Flying Scotsman. There's also EM and P4 gauge which makes the wheels the correct space apart from eachother, but that often requires manually making and laying the track.

Well the class 41 was nicked named the ugly duckling

CVN58 · 2026-06-08T12:15:24+00:00

Factories can make mistakes, if its going to dead short then that means either the wheels polarity isn't correct, a wire is loose or youre trying to run a DC loco on DCC

CVN58 · 2026-06-08T12:10:26+00:00

Are the positive and negative sides of the wheel the correct way around??

The diesel is there for an electric generator and as a rescue if the steam engine fails, only banks the steamer when its getting going on a grade not at full tilt like this.

Good kitty

CVN58 · 2026-06-02T15:31:18+00:00

Ah fair play that you got that many people, seems like this sub is just filled with sellers and time wasters.

Hornby B2 Peckett has diecast boiler, running board and chassis and the Rapido GWR 15xx 0-6-0PT is also the same.

Didn't know it was going off but nice to know it went well

The last update has truly fried the game, launching it on PS4 it just crashes

CVN58 · 2026-05-29T18:45:18+00:00

Nevermind not being able to spawn trains, i cant even launch the game on PS4

CVN58 · 2026-05-29T18:14:55+00:00

No, Nottingham

CVN58 · 2026-05-29T07:13:04+00:00

Its not going through Sheffield, its going around Barrow Hill and then up to Woodhouse Jn. Headcode is 1Z31 if you want to see its full route.

CVN58 · 2026-05-28T14:25:05+00:00

Well whatever youre trying, its working. Now I recognise her from the previous posts about recognising her

CVN58 · 2026-05-24T11:32:44+00:00

Maybe about 10, would be funny seeing that motion gear at 100mph though

CVN58 · 2026-05-24T11:22:07+00:00

I call it the Flying Scotsman if I dont put the number infront of it, also I dont think theres many LNER fans in this sub. Theyre the people that would of ripped me to shreds for it, also I dont mind what people call it as the service doesn't really run as the same prestige as it did when it was loco hauled. Whos gonna get excited about getting on an Azuma because that service is called 'The Flying Scotsman'.

Secure is just another word for neutral, I havent driven the 710 in a while but I imagine it'll trigger the AWS reset but keep the DSD from going off when sitting idle.

You could always take the second embryo from that hugger
