Bother! I posted twice again. <br /> <br />Never mind... 08 shunters are becoming extremely rare even in freight yards where they are supposed to be used. this is causing a Helath and Safety issue between the RMT and the companies. (ASLEF aren't doing much as usual). (Historical fact not prejudice). <br /> <br />Increasingly signalling is from computer assisted centres and - if they ever get the Manchester -Crewe "upgrade" to work ([:D] LOL... it's 2 months late already and next month they're going to temporary working so that other lines can catch up on routine maintenance before they go back to trying to get it right again sometime around October... wonderful this new technology! In the old days you could just wander over and kick it and it would work again)... as I was saying... they are going to satelite links instead of wire. <br /> <br />How about satelite DCC?[}:)] <br /> <br />If you want to scare the willies out of the FBI, ATF, CIA etc (Is there an ETC agency?) you could get a model of an atomic flask. Currently they're being hauled by really ropey sounding Class 37... I've never understood why they run them behind the most knackered locos. For a long time they ran them behind paired Class 20s when they were no longer used for anything else. Maybe they figure that they won't lose so much value of loco if the thing goes BANG! [;)] <br /> <br />Have fun! [8D]
