    The stuff in the pictures was cut to size, but it's fairly easy stuff to cut yourself - either by a jigsaw, circular saw - or by scoring and snapping like glass, if it's a straight cut. Leave the protective film on until the last moment before you fit it. It was 3mm, I think. Ask for polymethylmethacrylate if you want to seem really knowledgeable..

    I put some two-inch Perspex round a friend's and he got his money back the first time that it caught his live steamer and saved it from meeting the slabs. Being clear you hardly notice it and re-railing is almost as simple as if it wasn't there. It'll take a fair curve, too. Worth considering..

    Always remember that, even if you make a mess of a container, you can still just shove it in at one side and hope that nobody notices...

    You would have to be sure of where you were going - it wouldn't be easy to reverse it back out.. I vaguely remember them abandoning one in Alaska and some chap then bought it with the idea of getting it going again. Edit:- Right, it was bought by a chap called Steve McPeak, a 'daredevil' along the lines of Evel Kneivel, his main trick was riding a 100 foot high unicycle - but it doesn't look like he got very far with repairing it...

    The Americans had a few goes at similar things - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overland_train e.g. :-

    The 'Trains' link worked for me - I hadn't tried any of the others yet, saving them for later. Obviously, you'll have to 'supervise' him if he wins...

    Irish Rail has just Tweeted this - "A few asking if you have to be a kid to win train driver for a day prize: afraid so, but clearly a market for a "big kid" prize in future :)" - so maybe they'll let an old boy have a go at some point..?

    IE have launched a competition aimed at 10-16 year olds. Win it and you get to drive the train simulator. Reckon you could get away with it? There's some interesting pictures in the associated links on here - http://www.irishrail.ie/cat_news.jsp?i=4615&p=116&n=237

    APT Documentary.

    Broithe replied to Broithe's topic in Weblinks

    I worked at GEC in Stafford then and there is a really tight bend round the factory - the APT spent quite a bit of time stuck there, mostly with tilt failures - here it is with a tilt failure in the station..

    I got that in a charity shop the other day, must make the effort to watch it. Six Shooter, with Brendan Gleeson, has Cravens and beet wagons, as I recall, but the whole thing's gone off YouTube now, just a small sample left..

    Cararama do a nice H0 Volvo loader. Whoops, the picture says 1/50, but they do do it in 1/87, as well - http://de.shopping.com/volvo-l150c-l150-c/LxV56aKQPwT9rlPWc4vgOQ==/info?sb=1

    Excellent pics - but look at that track in the last shot!!! I've got a piece of Peco flexi that's been stood on - I won't have to throw it out now.

    Don't imagine that I actually know anything. I vaguely remember that there was a clashing issue that prompted his tests of the various free systems available, but, apart from the MSE MWB combination being the best result, I can't remember much else. This is from a couple of years ago, but his opinions are unchanged today. http://www.staffordforum.com/xf/index.php?threads/which-anti-virus-my-findings.4314/
