Both are 504's

I know, it's just that there was this film called Crocodile Dundee and there was this bit where this Australian outback veteran played by Paul Hogan is mugged in New York by someone wielding a knife and he says "That's not a knife, this is a knife and he pulls out a dagger that's about the size of a sword and the mugger runs off and...I knew as soon as I pressed 'submit' that it read as though I was denying that the pic at Bury was a 504 and now I'm rambling, it's the heat.

Anyway, cracking pictures both.

I know, I was being sarcastic

I'm also planning the route, but as I'm working on the ELR at the mo, it'll be for MSTS 2.

Are these old enough for you

Erm, X's are pretty old I guess

. But it depends what the actual pics are

I had a look - right-click the X, select 'properties' and the URL of the source file is on the list of properties which you can copy and paste into your browser. A pain but any excuse to postpone writing a marketing plan in a sweaty office

And yes John, they are pretty old (ex-LBSC overhead EMUs plus Bulleid CC1/2 by the way).

I am already doing one of the bulleid "booster" electrics 20003 funnily enough, will be a few weeks yet though.

The early overhead electrics especially the one in the second photo looks like cream and blue will be nice

Why did southern railway decide to go for third rail and get rid of overhead cables

also why did some southern trains always have bars on the windows even the 1900's ones

Also you dont have to go that far back you could do a 4 SUB or 4NOL or 4COR sets

Early electrics eh?

Why not look at some Tinplates that Lionel once made

Those early enough for you!

teehee

Would be kinda hard to build in TSM or 3DCanvas tho

He might be thinking of a 304 or 305.

Hey, any EMU around manchester is good in my books

. Nearly all EMU's, but thats where the 142s come in

Yes early Br's to like the one in the photo above remember the glasgow ones there are the early london ones to we have thw 2Brill set for msts but there is also the 2NOL units 4COR's and 4SUB units and 4LAV units

jp4712 · Post by **jp4712** » Tue Aug 05, 2003 12:35 pm

It's okay, I've decoded it. One of John's X's referred to a picture of an LBSC 'overhead electric' unit which is in a dark/light colour scheme.

The image won't appear here for some reason, but the image is at http://www.freewebs.com/leicesternorths ... 60502A.jpg.

John, could you put the odd full stop in your posts please? They can be a little hard to interpret at times.

rwaceyw · Post by **rwaceyw** » Tue Aug 05, 2003 1:24 pm

Hmm, anyway

Glad to see a few more Manchester EMU fans around. Probably one of the least covered areas of MSTS

wouldn't take much i think to go from a 504 to a 304 then you get two manchester emu's for the price of one
