Yes, that's quite a big hint!

Just need to finish the scripting and create a new html and it's ready. This one is different as I'll need to remove all the headcode functionality etc. from the script so it's a major rewrite.

Going to do a Virgin 57/3?
 
TMZ, you've lost me with the bodysnatchers reference.

On a different note, does anyone know if a UK flange lubricator is in existance? All I've found to date are US ones. I only ask here as I know most of you are UK oriented.

Cheers,

TMZ, you've lost me with the bodysnatchers reference.

Bodysnatcher = Class 57. So called because of the Class 47 origins, I.e. the bodies were "Snatched" from Class 47s. The original ones had not much work done to them IIRC, but a great big GM lump installed in them (the most significant thing), these being Freightliners Snatchers. Later snatchers were a lot more drastic than a GM lump installed.

....



... although I think many know that already.
 
I've also heard a different explanation for the "bodysnatcher" nick-name: The original batch were intended for dragging dead Pendolino's

On this one I think WEN is right as the first batch was done for Freightliner and were classified 57/0 and the only work done to them was Multiple working removing, engine swapped & Alternators swaped. AFAIK but I am willing to be proved wrong :)

From what I recall, Freightliner's dozen were demics and I don't remember any being fitted with multiple working. The engines were, from memory, manufacturer reconditioned ones and the alternators taken from withdrawn class 56s - and rewound, as the GM engines turn in reverse to the '56s own Paxman ones.
 
I could do with a route to offer me some operational diversion from the constant toil of route building (and that's only single track). I'm really tempted to download Nexus' Midshire route but my greatest fear is that, on seeing the route properly, I will deem my own efforts unfit for public consumption.

Perhaps if I drink lots of beer before doing so, I'll be just right. Hehe.
 
Nice shots there andytee1...

Can you tell me the name or kuid number of the large wall or embankment you have to the right of the first 3 pictures you have in the thread...?
