Atomic Systems

Glad to hear someone is doing one of my favourite railways, especially the K class tanks!!

Best of luck to you!

Yes please do lock this thread, there has been enough offence caused by both sides. I had decided not to post again, but here are my final thoughts, all my own opinions. The Bluebell now has a diesel to work the spoil trains and shunt for the next few years, which is fine by me. I believe that when ...

The fallout from this shouldn't be allowed to start and stop on the footplate of 76079 and lets hope that when the dust settles this episode is used to increase the resillience of charter operations rather than to diminish them. Well Said, There were mistakes all round here. Lets hope the driver do...

MSTS - UK Steam

BVE4 - anything else!

Try BVE4 guys, the dark side is calling! Its surprisingly good.

Oh BTW there is a huge debate here:

http://www.bluebell-railway.co.uk/bluebell/soc/d3023.html Thanks for pointing that out for everyone Paul. The diesel will be okay for the spoil trains, but I strongly agree with Lewis Nodes that it should go at the end. The Bluebell is (or was) in a unique position, and should fight to keep it that...

Who cares how it fits in? Its far more efficient to run than any steam loco the Bluebell can roster. It'll get the line back to East Grinstead for less cash, and less time. Isn't that the priority? Who cares what does it as long as it gets it done well...if thats a diesel, so be it! David If we fol...

BTW under these rules the railway pays the cost of it's own increased insurance and the liabilty insurance for the 'competent person'

Thus increasing the bill and making it more difficult for smaller railways.

But who certifies them as competent? And £5000 might be nothing to a big leauge line like the W&L, but for smaller lines it will be a strain on the budget. And that 'Competent Person' will be legally liable... And even if someone will certify you, every railway that carries fare-paying public pass...

Why not a 'Preserved Railway Discusion' Forum?

The only reason it is there is because the railway does not have enough locomotives available to cover all the work. They are currently 1 down on what is ideal at the moment. When 96 Normandy goes out of traffic in June there just aren't enough engines to realistically cover the diagrams required w...

I'd advise you fit a limiter to the wickham if it's gonna be a garden cicruit, if it's anything like the W&L one it'll be able to do nearly 40mph (no exageration!!). We are hoping to take the wickham engine to some of the UK narrow gauge railways in the world (eg. Bala railway) So we will need some...

2. The Isle of Wight Steam Railway is fabulous. Everyone should visit it. Even better when PLEG organise a charter with the proper engines :) 3. SR is the most biased railway mag I've ever read. As has been said before, the Greasy & Wet, Slow & Dirty and Watkin's Folly get more than they deserve. A...

Has this become the "slate steam railway" forum? :x Ok, so you might have concerns about SR being biased. Fair enough, but this is the real world we live in-everything we read is biased in one way or another! :roll: I've said it before and I'll say it again-SR is Britain's best selling railway maga...

Brunel, Brunel. Brunel next month!! Nothing wrong with that if something special, such as an anniversary issue, but almost every issue its more and more about the Good Wood Ruined. Take that feature they ran for about four months on all Western engines looking the same, did we see any equivalent fe...
