dasatcopthorne Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 David. Looking good. However, your 3rd rail looks very high so far. Have you tested an EMU over it. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

runs as required Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Very interesting article in August "Backtrack" magazine about the "Club Train" which ran from Holborn Viaduct, St Pauls and Herne Hill to the LCDR station at Dover for transfer to a new LCDR steamer "Calais-Douvre" across to new Calais Harbour and Maritime station for the Paris Exhibition in 1889. The "Mann Boudoir cars" were built by the LCDR and owned by "Wagons Lits". Trouble was neither the steamer nor the new harbour and Maritime station were open in time and the service never really prospered mainly because tiny little steamers were used for the Channel crossing. There was a connecting P&O "Peninsular Express" that did Calais to Brindisi in two nights - on which a gentleman could stroll from end to end of the train stopping for chats and a cigar or two plus a snack in "the manner of train travel to come".
