Skipton - Carlisle 1920 CD

pdeee · Post by **pdeee** » Tue Jul 15, 2003 5:58 pm

All orders received to day for the CD, have been posted.

A number of queries asking if S&C 1930 has to be deleted, no, both routes can be installed.

A few asked for the URL for my site, have spent a couple of days trying to upload and access it, up loading seems to be OK, accessing impossible, looks as if I have a major fault in the designâ€¦â€¦â€¦ if time permits will rebuild from scratch.

Nice to see from a number of the letters that it is appreciated, that this is a team effort and not a one-man band...... thanks guys.

Regards.

Pat

'Ere! Steady on! Don't you think Tina might have something to say about these shenanigans?

Tina Turner? No suprise to me. She's been a railfan for Fift.. uh... a while. Remember "Steamy Windows"?

PS - I would like to point out that this post was in no way intended to be derogative to a famous person and would her lawyers please desist from making spurious and expensive claims for damages. I have no appreciable wealth. Any more.

We are talking about Tina Hilda Gertrude Turner of 105 Acacia Avenue, Frodsham aren't we?

No We're talking about Pat Dalton and his team's wonderfull Route.

It is well worth the Buy.

I must congratulate the entire Team. A job very well done.

I agree with alan!! A job very well done indeed Take a bow all involved, Worth much more than the free asking price!!

By the Way How can we stop ourselves being pulled backwards on Martin H's activity Hellifield goods shift 2, part2 ? Everytime I release the brakes it pulls me back till eventually I am derailing at the buffer stops. (And Yes I am using the sander.)

Cheers,
Stewart.

Put the wagon brakes on and take them off one at a time.

Its how we got heavy trains out of Bridgeton yard.

Thanks Ian worked a treat. You'd think an ex frieght guard would have known to do that wouldn't you? Thing is, I didnt think the sim was that accurate lol.
Cheers,
Stewart.

Basildd you old dog! I had no idea you were into that sort of thing

Anyway, methinks Alan2 needs an introduction?

Don't worry Alan2, she doesn't bite. Hard that is. And I'll say no more for fear of being very severely punished

Stewart, you can also pin down a few in front of the brake van, at the top of a gradient, on a loose coupled, helps to keep your speed under control....................

Not at the rear.

You'll break a coupling and the front half will run away.

stewart · Post by **stewart** » Thu Jul 17, 2003 5:37 pm

I generally just use the Brake van to keep the speed under control. Havent had any broken couplers from this method but then all my couplings have been stregnthened by route riter.
Cheers,
Stewart.

All the stock on Skipton have been through RouteRiter and the loose couple goods would most likely be governed to 20mph..............

I have not had any problem in that respect.

Pat.
