Opened Pandora's box !

ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I a converstation killer? I mean, when ever I post a comment on a topic, oftern it ends up being the last comment on that topic. is it something I've done, or had you all just finished? Matt -- funny, I have felt the same as a newcomer over a number of threads. :dontknow: Aha !! Now I have the l...

I really enjoyed the on-train footage (can you say that for digital media ??). Anyway -- what camera were you using ?

Great !

How about this one then ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClEI2A-kXQk&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZejBLS8HQE&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnqzOiBErK0&feature=related I was fortunate enough to be in Oz working for 3 months in 2001 and had a ride on it....

its so fake, just look at how far she leans over to make it tilt. Just to be a bit technical -- if you stop/start the video, I suggest that it is clear that the coach body starts to lean before the Holly body. Which means it was not a fake. :argue: Still think supaglue would have made an interestin...

Maybe if you open the regulator so much that the wheels are spinning much faster than they are designed to spin on rails, there would be a lot more wear on valve gear parts? This is all I could come up with, other than that I can't see how there could possibly be an issue. I agree, there is no mech...

Not sure why you would want to do that really, but you could glue her on with supaglue !!  :lol:

ps I'll get the hang of the quote-ey thing next time round.

If I could scale down the £1.2m to 5" gauge (1/5.4) as well, I'm on. Otherwise I'm next in line for a lottery ticket.

Aww -- I was going to buy it, but it is 7 1/4" not 5" gauge Next time perhaps

Not Thamas------- c'mon it's George

To continue the bungled thread (very off-topic), the observant rivet counters will also note the blower pipe has moved from the right hand side running down the length of the boiler (so originally under the control of the driver) to the left hand side (now under the control of the fireman). The redu...

5" gauge was celebrating the anniversary as well !




A good time was had by all -- it was just a shame that the weather was so poor on Sunday.

Pretoria says thank-you for taking the video & posting it. It is difficult to take video/photos when running -- so much appreciated and thank-you again.

Not sure that I accept the R&ER is the best thing in The Lakes -- but then I am biased.  But it is at worst No 2. Then what is No 1 ?    :idea:    Well it has to be the steam launch "Shamrock" on Windermere which (as a direct link) has River Irt's boiler from 1976 on board to provide t...

Sorry Hancockshire -- can't have me !!   But here's another photo to make you jealous.
