This is an easy one.

Clue : In 1960 it was the longest serving Class on British Rail.


Please give non-UK types an opportunity to respond.

I Second Bill Baker. with or without OO!

Sheldon : There you are - another First, 60 years before American railroads.

Terry2foot : I've "Shot the Sun" - and it is a crapshoot with a sextant!

You must live in a very sunny clime: we go for days in the UK without seeing the Sun!

Can we have a VOTE on it!

r.cprmier : How correct you are, between correct & right.

I while ago I helped a friend take the dash out of a Neon to reheat the dry solder joints on the instrument panel connectors. I subsequently find that this is a fault in manufacture with that car, and becomes apparent at about 80,000 miles - gradually killing all the readings on the panel.

As you say, "You can solder correctly and it still might not be right" - even for the big boys in industry!

You may be the champion cabbage grower, but I know this guy in South Wales who is the champion pot maker for boiling your cabbages.

Does anyone yet have experience with Dynamis to give us a review?

Paul M : Nice to meet you. Do you have a favorite steam loco? Let me hear about it. Don't be put off by all those who would correct spellings and the like; this is for fun and enjoyment, and it comes as it comes.

Sheldon : Thank you for the additional facts about your favorite loco. It makes it that much more interesting to know about.

It was the coming of the railways in the UK that put the whole country on the same time. Previously every village was a few minutes out on the other because of the inaccuracy of the local village clockmaker's timepiece.

The railways brought what was know as "Railway Time" and that became Official to the whole country, in order to issue schedules; all before everyone recognised GMT.

Hasn't this recent time change been taken as an opportunity to now put the whole of Indiana on the same time in future?

How about an Engineman !

JM : Plainly your view is not supported by those on this thread, who are interested in all things "Trains". It is unreasonable for you to expect to blinker the rest of us. I think you need to explain, where is the anger.

This thread has happilly evolved to include Diesels and Electrics, I particularly like the Pennsylvania GG: worldwide it could be the trademark of the Pennsylvania, that is how well it is known as an image.

A new thread "Steam .........." could equally have been "Diesels ........", such is the arrogance of some of you.

Sheldon : Education - Educo, leading out. I want to learn from you and LD303 more than just pretty pictures. The "Why" has to have some substance to interest me and others who are contributing to my thread.

Regards

LD303 : I am surprised that my, "I was hoping this string would be for Steam only" should raise such uglyness from you to usher me off my own thread.

You have your diesel postings: I was trying to raise the education from you to give us all more than just pretty pictures.

LD303 : So, now you know.

What is the consensus for layouts that need to be knocked-down for transporting viz. to exhibitions?

Is the Bus to still be continuous wiring?

Are the connections between the boards to be soldered. or are there acceptable connectors for the job?

LD303 : I chose history as the theme for my contribution that might interest readers. It did not seem appropriate for your contribution, so I suggested horsepower or tractive effort. I still know nothing about the GP's.
