@Captain_Deltic @TheFactCompiler How about a big thing with two Napier engines?

[Ian Walmsley @trailersecond]

@Captain_Deltic @SteveWhiteRail @CastledineAndy Are we supposed to be impressed by this?

[Ian Walmsley @trailersecond]

@BristolCouncil Well done. Stinking modern urban curse.

[Ian Walmsley @trailersecond]

@Captain_Deltic @SteveWhiteRail @RAIL I’d use two 37s. Worked for me.

[Ian Walmsley @trailersecond]

@BradshawLSWR @AndyRoden1 @Modern_Railways Yes, I think I wrote about that idea some years ago but I imagine the new bi mode locomotives will make that harder to justify. Still a good plan though.

Merry Christmas.

@LucyGoBag @TheFactCompiler The one who bought the cheapest sprinkler.

@RailFreight @TheFactCompiler Looks a lot better than the ridiculous swirly lines version.

[Ian Walmsley @trailersecond]

@Clinnick1 @Modern_Railways Not really how I imagined it.

@AndyBTravels Bristol Parkway.

A signal post. Ever wonder why railways are so expensive?

[Ian Walmsley @trailersecond]

@PacerClara Under BR the role of thumb was that 5 vehicles was the break point where loco haulage is cheaper. When I worked for Porterbrook I updated the calculation and got just over 5, so in event 6. But it is not as simple as that, operational convenience and reliability apply as well.

@NickBadley Stick with it, it’s worth it.

@sc_wadsy @Modern_Railways @northernassist Yes on the white panels, no to cool white light.

@Captain_Deltic @AlexHynes What a scruffy 158 for the cover!

@Captain_Deltic @JohnDalton6011 Research project!

[Ian Walmsley @trailersecond]

@Captain_Deltic @LordOrk @LevelBoarding @LouHaigh I do.

[Ian Walmsley @trailersecond]

@Captain_Deltic @RailwayQueen @InnoTrans I was a bit intimidated by one very attractive woman who I thought might just refer me to an engineer, but she turned out to be very helpful and knowledgeable, needing no backup. If you really want to pull people in at Innotrans you need seats, the ultimate object of desire.

[Ian Walmsley @trailersecond]

@Captain_Deltic Better that than a bad design.
