@ACTractionLTD

Oh yes! Such powers come in very useful.

@ACTractionLTD

I guess you should know the answer to this one! Can we run an AC electric through ? I have an idea on a possibility within our time frame - late 60s early 70s - but would be interested to hear what you think!

[ACTractionLTD]

@d803albion its possible, if you have OHLE, but you could always drag one with a western :P even though that never happened

[d803albion]

@ACTractionLTD

Yup would have to be a drag as no OHLE - how about E3044 en route to Bristol Open Day , did that a few times but dont know if it came this way or via Hereford and Severn Tunnel

0:33 couldn't get any worse...

0:35 it can!

[ACTractionLTD]

@SteffanLlwyd you have a point there :P unless its a heljan loco, they weigh a ton and half

[SteffanLlwyd]

@ACTractionLTD Just suppose that one actually was God.... would a real Warship feel about as heavy as a 1:76 scale one does to us ordinary mortals?

[Nrgzrbunny777]

That's why I use O scale.

[bloodmarine77]

good idea that.i think i will do that instead then.cheers!

@bloodmarine77

Also I wire up the feed droppers to the fishplates not to the rails - that way you are only relying on a single rubbing contact with the fishplate rather than two.
