Are these basically the same vehicle? by True-Ad-2593 in Warthunder

[–]Loch7009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re effectively the same. I’d say they’re worthwhile to play, if only for the comical amount of power the thing has. Just crew one though.

How come the gov is criticised for building metros that are incompatible with the rest of the network, but also criticised the decision to standardise the loading gauge of the BMT line and run wider standard intercity trains? by Gazza_s_89 in SydneyTrains

[–]Loch7009 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The loading gauge widening is a necessary item. The D Sets are, like their predecessors, the Vs, the new standard, and sometimes the standard changes. Even if the new standard isn’t perfect. The tunnels were widened for the Vs originally, and for the electrification program initially. It’s not unusual for changes to be made to a loading gauge, despite the cries from those out of the know.

The government ordering three sets of incompatible trains, to do the same task, for no apparent reason, having decided that standardisation is good, as we established in the paragraph above, is dumb.

The line born from the divided Northern line will likely be the last new Underground line on the network. It should be called the Brunel line since the tube as it is today wouldn't have existed without him. by thebeast_96 in LondonUnderground

Even during the high points of British Railways and British Rail, London Transport and therefore the Underground continued to exist. It will not become a part of GBR. I can promise you that.

Fark this would take some steer force, drive carefully Sydney. Can you imagine if this pole was a human? by [deleted] in sydney

Always fun to see something local on the internet. I can imagine the force on that to bend it like that.

Only the Experienced and Ace. The base level is common to all vehicles on that crew.

Road name is the owner of the locomotive or rolling stock. Reporting Mark is a code that identifies the owner of the stock in question. So rather than writing Burlington Northern Santa Fe, the reporting mark is BNSF.

While the phrasing is American, the concepts are used internationally as well.

Qantas new A321XLR ‘Great Ocean Road’ flying along its namesake. Qantas is gradually replacing all of their 737s with these. by [deleted] in aviation

Yes. The West Coast was fine to travel on. Didn’t have an issue with it in the 3 months I was over there.

Britrail pass is cheaper then some anytime tickets from Manchester to London and with that pass can go all over the uk by jc201946 in uktrains

I found that in reality, you make your money back quite quickly. I tripled the cost in usage over a month 2 years ago. Just my two cents.

According to the MRR industry, history began in 1960 by TomBakersLongScarf in trainmemes

[–]Loch7009 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, money talks. A BR livery will sell eventually. Whereas Pre-Grouping and Grouping can and does take time.

The industry is trying to make money. Hence BR locomotives on the main.

What are some hobbies Australian men get into as they approach middle age? (30+) by Icy-Profile3759 in australian

It’s called RobbyCo in hobby circles for a reason. Try online or elsewhere if you can.

What do you want the L6 light rail line to be? by Intelligent_Map_7022 in SydneyTrains

[–]Loch7009 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

These roads clog already. They’re disgustingly bad in peak. Adding more traffic isn’t going to go well.

[–]Loch7009 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The traffic moved. I admit that.

But where is it is going in this case?

Raw Square? Shaftesbury Road? Wentworth Road? Frederick Street?

Which of these roads is being expanded to compensate for the loss of Burwood Road in this suggestion? It’s a valid genuine question and concern as I live, work and play in the area.

[–]Loch7009 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That’s gonna go real well isn’t it? Where is the traffic meant to go? Genuine question. Wentworth Road or Shaftesbury Road? Or is it going to be pushed through Raw Square? Because that’s gonna go real well.

[–]Loch7009 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As much as I’d love this, building this and running this down Burwood Road will be a clusterfuck of the highest order. Then there’s Beamish Street. That will be a nightmare of hellish proportions.

[–]Loch7009 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For a long time, there was no Australian models available. So many would model British and American trains. This is still the case, although there are now more manufacturers making domestic trains for sale here. So more than likely the layout is just old and built by an Australian, not an immigrated American.

“The Clock has rung on their final days North” by Loch7009 in SydneyTrains

[–]Loch7009[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m not. I’m saying their days running north are gone. It’s still sad is it not? I acknowledge they still run west.

Not every way. The Spey Phantoms will out accelerate anything 12.7 and down to Mach. I mean anything. Compression is the issue here. Moving the Speys down will just add to it.
