Atomic Systems

a while back I recall Kevin had made a CD with the Ffestiniog that was full of exclusive engines and was only available from the FR's shop. I recall a post on the message board with pictures of the locos but can't find it.

Could anyone please tell me where I can find more details of the CD and its contents?

Thanks in advance

Does the Penrhyn Linda come with "coal truck" tender?

Yes, the disk comes with a consist that uses the coal truck as a tender for Linda.

Kevin

Could we have a original condition Linda and Blanche at some point?

With no front truck and both in Penhryn Black.

Charles would be nice too


Bruce

Charles?? Who's that
I was thinking about asking you (kevin) about what Brce just asked...but you (bruce) beat me to it

And before, with my question about Penrhyn Linda...I thought I was being sarcastic Oh well...I guess it beats having to make another consist manually
Now to save up $20......I'm flat broke (again)


BTW, why were Prince and Princess painted green? Was that a trend some time ago...

Charles was the third of the Penrhyn trio of main line engines. The loco is preserved at the Penrhyn Castle Museam, and has visited the ffes before, although is not in working condition. It is still in its unmodified Penrhyn black guise i.e: Without a tender, superheaters, etc etc...

Christian

So is it built like Linda and Blanche (...were)?
Or is it something else like the hunslets that worked there?

Very similar to linda and blanche.

Of course I must ask this then... ...PIC?


*EDIT!*
HEY WAIT A SEC
Isn't the 2-Ton Slate Wagon already uploaded to ukts and the Ffestiniog site??

No the one on the Ffest site is made of wood, the one on the cd is made of iron.

Kevin

OHH!!
err...ok

Someone is getting a bit of a slating!

As if by a slightly delayed magic, one pic of Charles, safely ensconsed for ever more in a stable block in Penrhyn Castle (they (the National Trust) almost had a fit when we took her out 10 years ago and were so disturbed by the *shock horror* rain(!) falling on her beautifully polished paint and burnished steel, which had been sat in the dry for about 30 years, that they vowed she would never emerge again. Pity, really. We've been sarcastically pestering them to let us restore her to working order ever since.)

Anyway, one picture. About as good as can be got given the rather cramped room Charles resides in.

Note the square front spectacles - the most obvious way of differentiating Charles from her younger twin sisters - Charles is also a tad smaller.

Imagine the horror if the ceiling started to leak above the dome

But honestly, That engine is beautiful! IT's hard for me to imagine such an engine working in a quarry!
However...it take me a minute to figure out that you were referring to the from cab windows on the engine I was looking for a pair of glasses on an old face attached to the smokebox door
(Of course I am joking)



hmm....I sense a request for Kevin coming soon (Predicting: "Kevin? Could you make Charles..." )
*lol*
