Thanks for doing the link my friend, i just saw the article and posted it - i was in too much of a hurry to do a proper job :cry:
The good days of these awesome Loco's.... Picture this {feel and smell {if only} } the darkness of the night, cool air with a slight breeze and the only sound...clack clack clack, a slight rumble to be felt.... some crews daren't shut down the napiers in the knowledge that they wouldn't be able to start them for the early shift. The bore being so huge on the beautiful beasts had a problem with dew forming inside through the cold nights - imagine the amount of fuel wasted
Can you see the light coming up ? the mist and dampness - can you smell what i'm writing ? The Days of ROLLING repairs, when the mechanics would board the Loco on it's run, and fix one of the napiers {if possible} and do this without stopping the consist reaching it's destination on time. The MEN of the Great British Railway and all those behind the scenes keeping it all Rolling along, un-sung hero's INHO - and to those i give one of these :goldcup:
A model railway video NO sound - Poor picture :cry: Done with the TECH left out of technology
I wish i still had this, may even start another one day :twisted:
