for a nibble....one large slice of cheddar cheese stuck between 2 thick chunks of corned beef, smothered in a dollop of brown sauce - slap the lot between 2 thick slices of brown bread and wash down with a mug of scald.............

or you could bribe the mods!!!!

right lads...you heard the man!

in the good old days of steam, back in 1942, no 802 'TAILTE' achieved a steady speed of 95 mph on a 6 to 8 mile section of the line between Maryboro and Knightsbridge. she was pulling 10 coaches at an average speed of 71mph, completeing the journey in 43 minutes! beat that with a stick!!

JHB, as a matter of interest , at that time was the track the old joined or continously welded? id emagine if it was the former, youd would want safety belts on!

Kevrail, to get to the next level, you have to buy all the gurgs and super gurus a pint!

excelent pics railer! was 171 a right off or did she survive?

fran, just out of interest, if you wanted to doublehead, why not remove the motor from one loco?

hi lads, a while back i asked gareth in the Model Shop Belfast is there any way there could be a slow/ extended start up recorded on the 071 sound chip . after fiddleing away for a while he rang me and played an extended cold start where it appeared that the battery was going to die then she slowly fired up....it sounded fantastic so i have 2 ordered and when i get them i will post a clip of them in action. gareth will sell these as a seperate 071 sound chip, as well as the normal start up........HAPPY DAYS!!!

now thats a pic i would love to see!

dam straight!
