    From the same channel, the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald on the Great Lakes is another one - I heard the song that was penned about the sinking late one night on the radio, and found it very moving https://youtu.be/U9jDNEtg8JY https://youtu.be/9vST6hVRj2A

    I suppose the climate must help keep the rust at bay, prolonging a vehicles usable lifespan

    Around the 2min35 mark of this cine transfer from 1980, put up by Tom Ryan, there is an example of a 'mixed' selection of coaches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU9lcXpkrtY

    Ever since Electric Jesus / Space Karen took over Twitter, it looks like he is trying to take over from Facebook as the new place for the loonies to go and spread their shite - with a few choice tweets from himself to get the party started

    I had to take myself off 'antisocial media' - Facebook/Meta/Twitter are poison. Don't get me started on businesses using FB as their main 'website' - if you are at that sort of thing, you have failed A dedicated forum is a different kettle of fish.

    Private group on FB, so not much use. Also, no good for those not on FB

    I've been in the IT game for the past 25 years - no backups is a real no-no!

    Once I've all bases covered with diesel locos & stock that ran with them, I'm done, and my bank account can finally take a long overdue breather!!

    Would that not leave only the ballast wagons pulled by a tamper as the only rolling stock? Or did NIR get rid of the ballast wagons?
  23. skinner75
    Sounds interesting - care to elaborate?
