N Gauge Class 390 Pendolino (post Kickstarter) with Rapido
Claude_Dreyfus replied to Revolution Ben's topic in Rapido Trains
Sorry to hear of the delays, but as you say, better to wait than rush it through and deliver something you know isn't as good as it could be. -
Class "57" photos...
Claude_Dreyfus replied to class"66"'s topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
A few from the other weekend. 57314 brings the empty coaches for a tour to Minehead into Paddington. Interestingly, the 57 appears to have been detached at Paddington and did not accompany the tour westwards. 57310 at Old Oak Common - bush got in the way! 57603 outside of Old Oak Common -

How about a 3/4 view of a first Generation DMU now? Class 118 set at St Ives in about 1982. St Ives station by Claude_Dreyfus, on Flickr -

Our first 1st generation DMU in the 1xx run! Occupational hazard for the early 100 numbers is that German electrics feature heavily. Not that this is a bad thing mind... A Class 115 near Stuttgart - October 2013 -

Yep, there been a couple of entries with the number in the middle - hence my tram entry. So, we'll try to be good; if a little predictable for 50 50045 passes Didcot in about 1985 - photo taken by my father. -

Ahh, thanks for the clarification. We travelled on this train from Penzance to St. Erth, so this makes sense (I was only about 3, so the memory is a bit sketchy...although I do remember how loud they were). I'll need to update my records. -

Not exactly sure where the station is, but... HST by Claude_Dreyfus, on Flickr You cannot get much further West than Penzance. Photo taken by my father c 1981. As we have had a reference to electrification and HSTs, how about an HST 'under the wires' next? -

Third-Rail EMU Photos
Claude_Dreyfus replied to Claude_Dreyfus's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
By all accounts the damage internally was significant. http://www.railforums.co.uk/showpost.php?p=2791429&postcount=2 It did a lot of damage to the wiring (there was a suggestion it was linked to the hand dryer wiring - although apparently the toilet cubicle itself was not badly damaged), as well as fittings etc. That'll be a job for the insurers to establish whether or not it is repaired/replaced. -
railways in fiction and fantasy
Claude_Dreyfus replied to sir douglas's topic in Modelling musings & miscellany
The ultimate 'Railways in Fiction and Fantasy'. That'll be the Southern timetable... More in tune with the thread, I have always had a fascination of the railways on Mars; as depicted in Total Recall. Now, that would make an interesting model... -

Indeed - said interloper features more prominently earlier in the thread... http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/121466-third-rail-emu-photos/page-1&do=findComment&comment=2672294 The errant carriage made the international news in its own right with this tweet... https://twitter.com/lukejalexander/status/811670608463482881 There is a certain irony that Southern rid itself of all things 442 in the space of a coupe of months...
