All the parts existed for the second one, I believe. Just the commercial case for it is pending. Maybe there's been some cannibalisation, though. Despite the commentary, I'm not sure that runway length would be the issue that selected Shannon, it may have been more to do with parking facilities.. 285 tonnes empty, 640 tonnes full - a serious beast.
-
No, that was a mere 124. The 225 is stretched, widened and has two more engines - and a roof-rack.. There is talk of extending the principle even further...

If you read that one way, it does sound like you have kidnapped him and are holding him to ransom for a piece of cake - I do rather hope that this is the case..

When I had a proper job, we had a note on a drawing that said - Apply a very small amount of petroleum jelly and then wipe it ALL off. The idea was to get a very thin coating, but that note always amused me...

An equivalent device to the Trix brush can be made from two Peco cleaners and a piece of wood - as outlined above.
-
The Peco wheel cleaner is still a good and cheap device. Add a couple of croc clips and you're away. Or, even buy two and mount the brushes at a suitable spacing and drop them on the track - there is a contact strip on the back that will collect power from the rails directly. For non-driven wheels, a brass brush in a cordless multi-tool is a good way.
