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!

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!!!

fair play to you Snapper - thanks for that! poor old 082.......i wouldnt mind but on my days off im usually down there at that concrete buffer takeing pics of anything that moves - some fright to get seeing her comming down at you!!! worse still, emagine if she was powering up and hit the buffer at speed, derailed and hit the wall - some drop there!
