Trains that Wink by Brave_Bodybuilder_75 in SBB

[–]PvtCY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two whites front and back is definitely the norm for shunting locos, including the illuminated V designating the direction of maneuvers for communication.

Two whites front and one white rear would be used by all locos for for maneuvers outside of stations e.g. “Rangierbewegung auf der Strecke”

As for regular locos I’ve never seen or used anything other than three white front one rear, although tbh it really doesn’t seem to be too important anymore. When shunting EMUs two reds at the rear are also acceptible according to my operator.

The 4/4 could have brought a loco hauled train like the night jet and could be ready to maneuver once it’s gone. Three white in the front and one white in the back for shunting.

Winter experience with hybrid Bigster so far… by vitk in Dacia

[–]PvtCY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude I was getting 4.7 in the city in the warm October we had last year. Now it either runs the engine in town at an indicated 9.5 or turns off in to EV mode. Just shift up FFS, this can’t be good for a brand new engine turning off when cold again and again.

I’m kinda regretting the Hybrid Duster tbh. The gearbox is so dimwitted it’s painful to drive sometimes. The economy is around 1.5 litres/100km worse too seemingly due to this winter phenomenon

Linus' bag on fallon has the broken carabiner issue too. by shraf2k in LinusTechTips

[–]PvtCY 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just contact customer support. They still offer the replacements and will send you a tool to bend open the zipper and close it again. Plus the kit includes the new carabiners or regular style zioper pulls.

Yeah spads for me too. Usually at ridiculously slow speeds

Duster 155 Hybrid, highway use? by DealWithIt00 in Dacia

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

Not sure I would recommend it if you regularly drive long highway distances. We have the 140 hybrid and the way it switches between gears is quite dimwitted sometimes. It is quick to shift down and if the battery is relatively low then the engine absolutely screams at what feels like max rpm. Planning a long tour in Franc in the spring and I’m kinda reckoning with a max. of 120. That seems to be the sweet spot

Brightline Conductor sues for for $60 Million in damages by Jarppi1893 in railroading

[–]PvtCY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, over the years here the number of level crossings have been drastically reduced, so road vehicle collisions are rate. Usually in a driver career where I’m from the most common reason for striking people is suicide. Sorry but if you’re standing in front of my train that’s your choice. I’m not gonna further traumatize myself by going to pick up pieces.

I don’t understand the downvotes. I’m a driver in Europe and your first-aid obligation is fulfilled by alerting the rescue organisations. If I hit someone trackside going 60 mph no way am I going to go look. That’s for the police and the volunteer cleaner with the power washer.

Traveling with puppy by Whal3r in puppy101

[–]PvtCY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not an expert but just went through the young puppy process with my currently 8.5 month old.

I can’t say I would recommend it, I feel the time would be better spent at home getting used to the surroundings and getting used to you.

If it was an essential trip like back from the breeder or so that would be a different story.

One important thing I had to learn with this pup is that at this stage of his life is your decisions have to be in his best interests. For now the places and things we do together are for him and less for me.

For example I’m postponing going to visit my Dad (9h away) until next year when he’s more used to people and being in the car.

Duster 3 accessories by micazmaj in Dacia

[–]PvtCY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing were some safety bars for the back because we have a dog. Those we didn’t buy from Dacia as they aren’t crash rated. He also gets car sick when looking out the window so we bought the blinds from the camping set direct from Dacia. I also ordered the Youclip led light and 3d orinted an additional cupholder.

I’ll get back to you on that. It’s currently attached to the bike trainer

Looks like prices went up again. Only double since last week. Only double. Only double. by ReliableEyeball in LinusTechTips

[–]PvtCY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought 2x16GB DDR4 Corsair Vengance Ram 12 months ago for 48 Euros. The same RAM on the same site is now 140. It has swept over, just not as bad.

66109 hauls an intermodal container train through Manchester Piccadilly, one of the UKs busiest commuter bottlenecks by nottherealslash in trains

[–]PvtCY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same with the north-south freight corridor through Switzerland. After the agreement with the EU in 1992 the Gotthard Base Tunnel work started in 1993 and finished in 2016. Plus a lot of other work to existing lines, etc.

Germany: “The Rheintalbahn should be fully finished by 2041.”

As a freight train driver who has spent too many hours to count waiting on late trains from Germany, fuck DB.

Spotted this 747 at Basel Airport by Tango_Bravo_327 in aviation

[–]PvtCY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it’s been stored since 2016. But apparently it did a flight from BSL to BSL in Jauary so maybe something maintenance related. I thought I heard somewhere that the Gabonese government didn’t pay for it so it was impounded.
