Trainz in you're dreams

[Ben1337]

sense there's threads about trainz in the movies, programs and how you got to like trainz.

I thought about making a thread about trainz in your dreams.

I can remember having a dream it like it was last night. Oh wait it was last night.

It had me driving a green class 40. Much like the one included in TC3.

and this class 40 was pulling a rake of 5 EX-PO trucks (which where quincedently included in TRS06 and TC3). Which are also quincedently included in TC3. only painted yellow and a brake van at the end.

the tracks where made by bloodnok and the texture was grey and it had wooden sleepers. and unelectrified.

The scenery was included in 06.

The controls where very much like 06 in DCC mode.

and I was driving the class 40 down the track. and then I saw a rake of 5 yellow 12T fitted vans on a siding (which where quincedently included in TC and TRS06 but reskinned). I decided to couple them up and drive on to the power plant to unload the EX-po wagons.

and that's when my dream ended.

the route was banks heath that's on the DLS.

What's you're dream?

hope you're one is as detailed as mine.

You're the first person I've met who misused "your" ...


A friend of mine got hit by a train when he stupidly decided to play "chicken" with it at a level crossing. Luckily it was just pulling out the station, so he only suffered a broken arm and a few cuts and bruises.

Still recurs in my sleep sometimes ...

Gangsta.

Wow. That's as off-topic as you can get.

But yeah. I do have a habit of mispeling words.:hehe: Like just now.

Now that's a shame. hope he gets better.
Is chicken the game where you jump clear before the train hits you?

Well it's like the saying goes. you mess with the bull (the bull being the train) you get the horns.

I agree. In January this year, 142006 was heading down the Rhymney line past Llanbradach when kids from my school placed grease pots on the line. 142006 was out of traffic for two months.

Anyway back on topic , I have had a fiew dreams with trains in but I can't rember them.

I have had dreams non trainz...Train related....i was railfanning the Durango and silverton then another i was chasing the East broad top over 30 miles of track it was double headed by steam locos to....i wish that was not a dream. I did dream once..it was Me driving a K4 over A horseshoe curve layout

 

[Ben1337]

How can you double head steam locomotives? surely you would have to have 2 drivers and if they did how could they communicate to each other to tell the other driver orders.

 

[Maddy25]

When I was a child I used to have a recurring mightmare where I was trying to walk across a gigantic crossing with something like 10 to 20 tracks. Trains kept zooming through on all the tracks. It was always dark and I seemed to have trouble moving too, in these dreams.

You have 2 crews,engineer and a fireman on each locomotive, and today they will most likely use walkie talkies. Or back in the day they would use a series of whistles(like how the telegraph worked) to send a message tot he other crews,to apply brakes, release brakes, throttle up etc.

I would look for a bridge and cross over the tracks. If you can't get to you're objective one way. look for an alternative way.

I wonder if that could be a game.

Nice. but the whistles would give the surrounding people a head ache.

When I've been creating some new content that has had me particularly stumped, I've had dreams that gave me the answer on how to solve my problem a couple of times.

 

[LVman]

Ohh, i've had a few good ones. My favorite was on my Fictional Regional, the California Northern(no relation) with three massive ALCo C630s going upgrade with a good 110car drag freight in Northern Cali. That was a good dream. Oh did i mention the fact that my Conductor was a 24yr old blonde?:hehe:

Hope Gangsta's friend gets better soon - better a broken arm than to lose his life though!

With respect, Ben1337, I am now 50 years old! I am ashamed to say that, as a teenager in the 1970's, my friends and I used to pile old pennies on the track to see how big they would become once the train had flattened them! We then discovered, if you put them endways up between a rail joint, you could get them welded to the rail! There was nothing malicious in what we did, even though it could have caused a derailment with possible loss of life - we only thought about that afterwards when we were caught by the local signalman one day (and given a "thick ear" and a kick up the derriere!")

Another favourite trick used to be to grab the boot handle (trunk if you're American) of a Devon General bus and place your feet on to the rear bumper (fender) to cadge a ride to the next village - absolutely no regard for what could happen!

Most kids that throw stones at trains from bridges have no intention of killing, blinding or hurting the poor driver, I'm sure - it's just one of those thoughtless antics teenagers get up to!

If you think things are different, a read of some Victorian Railway history books might change your ideas! On Brunel's Broad Gauge Railway, carriage doors kept having to be replaced because yobs would unscrew them and throw them down embankments as the train flew along. Wealthy yobs were not averse to piddling out of train windows, into the wind, so that the third class passengers in the open carriages behind all received a faceful! Graffiti at both Bristol Temple Meads and Paddington was such a problem, the Great Western Railway employed its own policement to try to tacke it! ...........all this in supposedly well-ordered, Victorian England!

You will never take the recklessness out of teenagers - it's part of growing up - but what we do need to tackle is violence!

(......and I hope, Gangsta Boi, that your handle doesn't mean you are part of any vicious street gangs! The music, a game of footie and knocking about with your mates is fine, we all did that in our youth - but gang culture and the knives, drugs and street crime that goes with it is pure evil!)

Now that's just funny how you got the pennies welded to the rail. And not the train derailing.

That's just funny but dangerous.:hehe:

Yeah. and the train driver's career would end really quickly.

At least unscrewing the doors wouldn't hurt anyone. Unless they hit someone.

Yeah. count me in.

I couldn't have put it better myself.

That's a great piece of little-known history regarding unscrewing the doors, and piddling out of the windows. I didn't know about that.

With regards to other "teenage" antics like playing "chicken" with trains, I think the least said about that, the better. We have youngsters on this Forum who could be quite impressionable, and may think it's a "fun" thing to do.

Believe me, guys, it isn't!

I almost got hit by a train many years ago whilst taking a "short cut" along the Plym Valley line back to my Nan's place. Normally, I knew the train times, but this was an unscheduled working, an empty cattle wagon train, that they had slipped in amongst the scheduled trains. I was walking along the sleepers, and had my back to it. It was "coasting" down the gradient, and wasn't making much noise, until the whistle sounded. I jumped out of my skin, and have never moved so fast in all my life. Believe me, it frightened me.
