Nice one! What was it like compared? Do you wish it was like the old days or prefer diesel/electric?
I have only driven steam trains on a preserved railway, it needs a lot of skill to drive so is much more rewarding + that sound and smell as well

I would not want to do it at work every day,to much like hard work You also get filthy dirty.

Its not like a new train, where you just press a button and it will go, you need to arrive at least 4hrs before you need to move. It takes a long time for the boiler too generate enough steam.

Fil - there used to be a spate of things hitting the buffers in the shunt neck at Nevill Hill - carriages from loco stock would roll off the depot, down a steep as fuck hill and destroy the bufferstops at the end of the shunt nect (the neck is about 600 yards long too and steep as a cunt)

Why don't you fill the cunt up yourself?

Whenever I goto Skipton and get 10 mins there, I always give the screen a clean so I can see out of it - we have a cleaning plant on each platform that has bucket, bristle brush and detergent for de-filthing the screens - I like to see the signals and other random shit (when they don't dissapear into a crack in the screen, will post a picture of it tomorrow )

LOL,what with you muppet!!!!

Got nowt at our depot,no fitters/supplies or fuck all

Units have to go to Canton(Cardiff),or Machy for repairs/service

The cleaning plant on the platforms would be good

How can they put NFF when the screen wash don't work

A dirty screen is one of my pet hates and i will not take a train unless i can clean the screen

Have delayed lots of trains getting the screen clean. DSM did have a go at me but i told him its a safety of the line issue so he backed off LOL.

We are lucky if we get a broom and bucket at major stations

A DTM to be washing windows at Holbeck depot - nice to see Simon has found his vocation in life

I really must get this picture printed off and put on the messroom wall so he can have even more people taking the piss out of him


And this is the most writing I do on a fault book

I've been road learning Neville Hill TMD so the furthest I drove was 2 miles in each direction from the City Station

What you need is a 142 with 1 isolated engine - the wheel speed sensors only work on one vehicle then and you can get some massive 90mph wheelspins going
