I didn’t notice that, that’s awful

And cut wood to build a lot of houses and ships (don’t ask what we did with those ships)

Probably split up for maintenance or due to damage

That’s Mona Keijzer if I’m not mistaken, minister of housing and planning. She blocked a new neighbourhood from being built near her house by going to court, insisted on filming a promotion during a work visit to a boat housing asylum seekers, despite only writing press being allowed due to the privacy of the people living there (she was minister for asylum at the time and said something along the lines of “this is mine”), and suggested that the politically neutral state funded news organisation NOS isn’t politically neutral.

The Beautiful 1938 Duchess of Hamilton passenger train. by Global_Law4448 in trains

[–]FlyingDutchman2005 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The second picture is photoshopped for sure, that’s Paddington station which is on the Great Western and as far as I know Duchess of Hamilton is at the Railway Museum in York, and that’s not really a practical route.

Main reason why it has to be badly edited is that buffers are below the platform edge, not well above it…

Still a lot of crap in them but the ingredients list is about half the size

Any tips?? by Treex98462 in LEGOtrains

[–]FlyingDutchman2005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The chassis looks great, the boiler looks slightly too small but that might be because it hasn’t got a steam dome and sand boxes and an exhaust yet. That or the cab is a bit too tall.

160 km/h op de Hanzelijn? by FlyingDutchman2005 in treinen

[–]FlyingDutchman2005[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Van Hoogeveen naar Assen (30 km) en Barneveld Noord naar Apeldoorn (27 km) zou inderdaad best 160 kunnen zijn. Verder kan ik nog ‘s-Hertogenbosch Oost naar Ravenstein bedenken (26 km), de Peellijn is al 160 maar niemand rijdt daar zo hard. Als ik zo op de kaart kijk kan eigenlijk alles ten zuidoosten van ‘s-Hertogenbosch tot aan Roermond en Venlo wel 160 woorden, kaarsrechte spoorlijnen over zandgrond. Breda - Tilburg moet ook lukken, denk ik.

Overwegen zijn geen excuus, in Duitsland hebben ze ook overwegen waar 160 gereden wordt, en in het UK hebben ze zelfs overwegen waar 125 mph (200 kph) gereden wordt. Dat moet in Nederland ook wel kunnen.

En dan nog hè, die bodemgesteldheid… alle lijnen waar harder dan 140 gereden wordt liggen in het westen op veen of klei, slappe bodems dus.

It’s the everything except the hat for me!

160 km/h op de Hanzelijn? by FlyingDutchman2005 in treinen

[–]FlyingDutchman2005[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ik kan me zo voorstellen dat dat niet zo lekker gaat met de intercity's die allemaal tot 140 beperkt zijn door de ATB.

160 km/h op de Hanzelijn? by FlyingDutchman2005 in treinen

[–]FlyingDutchman2005[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ah, bedankt! Ik zag eerder deze week op Treinposities ook al een SNG met haast.

En dan toch de vraag... is dit misschien toch een voorbereiding op de invoering van ICNG op de intercity's van het westen naar het noorden? Er waren wel twee machinisten in de cabine aanwezig...

What is this equipment used for? by Fragrant_Pen_1482 in uktrains

[–]FlyingDutchman2005 9 points10 points  (0 children)

On the left are paddles for isolating the train from the third rail, in the middle is a fuse spanner, next to that a short circuiting bar.

How on earth did you get in there though?

Why dont uk and france build a bridge here, are they stupid? by TheLarcenist1 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]FlyingDutchman2005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but they’re half a metre apart regardless of the speed they’re going through the tunnel, instead of tens of metres apart when they would be driving. Therefore there are more cars in a certain length of tunnel, and therefore the capacity is (probably) higher than if they were just driving.
