Atomic Systems

I'm just fed up with all these level crossing acidents.

WHEN WILL PEPOLE LEARN THAT RAILWAY'S ARE DANGEROUS!!

I'm currently building a three coach rake using those kits. A big tip is be careful when makeing the roof fit the coach as on one of mine I filled too much away and was left with a massive hole between the body side and the roof. :cry: I filled the gap with model filler and sanded it flat with wet a...

All Level Crossings should have the railway protected by automatic gates. and I mean the full ones that totially shut off the railway not those half barriers.

How Sharp do you want
I dont think any 00 gauge pice of rolling stock could get round that. the sharpest you can have is 1st radious and then some of the larger locomotives/coaches wouldnt get round.

I'm getting the Bachmann K3 for Xmas
Think I'll pass on the Westerns not my perferd region of operation.
I'll have to think about the Bachman Jinty as I could have one visiting the east coast
The Hornby Teak Gresleys are a must have item for me but I could buy kits and build my own.

I thought that this thread was about the up comeing NYMR Gresley 100 Garla. Not wich type of steam loco do you like best.

Bachmann supply decoders to be fitted in locomotives. Any loco which has a DCC socket can be fitted with one.

Don't think I can perswade my parents to take me
(had enough trouble tryong to get my dad to start takeing me to the Boston MRS and thats only 22 mils from where I live )

Carn't wait for Sir N to be finished

I view Thompson as an idiot (thought moron would describe him better :lol:) Thats my view. It's a very heated topic because some think Thompson had some good ideas (the B1's and his carrages :) ) but others myself included think that that dosn't make up for the things he did to Gresleys designs :x ....

My View on Thopson is a morron because of what he did to Greselys design's.

Yes Gresely had failiers - Just look at the 'Hush Hush' - But Thompson created some locos that looked wrong and dident have the same adecive weight as Gresleys Locos.

The LNER's class list: A = 4-6-2 B = 4-6-0 C = 4-4-2 D = 4-4-0 E = 2-4-0 F = 2-4-2 G = 0-4-4 H = 4-4-4 J = 0-6-0 K = 2-6-0 L = 2-6-4 M = 0-6-4 N = 0-6-2 O = 2-8-0 P = 2-8-2 Q = 0-8-0 R = 0-8-2 S = 0-8-4 T = 4-8-0 U = 2-8-0+0-8-2 V = 2-6-2 W = 4-6-4 X = the singles Y = 0-4-0 Z = misc No more moaning ...

Gresley = Genius
Thompson = Morron
Peppercorn = Genius

Thompson was an complete and utter morron. He ruined some of Gresleys best designes
Peppercorn had to sort out the mess that Thompson had left. Although that created with the A1 and A2 classes

The LNER had the most logical classifercation system of the Big4. All U need to know is which letter means which wheel arangement and it's easey.

Sorry U Got one or two wrong!

Q = 0-8-0
O = 2-8-0
Not shure about what T is

I guess Reption is light footed because its a 4-4-0 and therefore dosen't have enough wheels to spread out its waight and therefore dosent wheigh as much as a 4-6-0 and as a result it dosent have as much adesive waight.

Maby they should fit some traction tyres!
