Quote from: Bealman on October 29, 2024, 09:01:05 AMI've made a a big boo boo. 75! Ooops!

There was absolutely no way I was going to attempt to raise that little detail with a distinguished physicist.  I knew full well that I'd be presented with pages 'N' pages of complex equations leading to authoritative proof that 70 is the new 75.

Physics is such fun!  I used to like walking along the corridor of a train leaving a station and find I was going nowhere.  Childish, moi?

With all good wishes.

Depends. If the train was traveling at the speed of light, all sorts of stuff might happen... length and time dilation, etc.

All relative to the observer, of course!

But what about if you jump in the air?
Do you travel backwards ?

You'd have to assume the answer is 'Yes', as the earth continues rotating while you're in the air

Rookie mistake.

The earth rotates at approx 1000mph. Now I can't jump that fast

I have 4 Class 20s. If intending to add the contents of the detailling bag they are tiny and need tweezers and care as extremely fiddly ! Chris

wish I had bought some now. but too many other priorities.

Just a bit of Christmas fun...........



to go with a previous purchase............

Oooh I love them!

The EFE much discussed class 41 Warship has arrived with me. I thought I'd ordered the plain green version but evidently not
It's quite a heavy little beastie and is certainly a great looker but I won't get to run it until tomorrow and then only on plain track so am not anticipating any problems to arise with no points.

One more for the LNER period fleet, from a disposal of a collection and it appears to have never been run although the original packaging is dated 2001.
Tried it with a 9volt battery and it runs ok fwd and rev but sounds a bit 'geary'. The paint etc is good and it cost slightly under list?
Excuse photo 'on a bend' had camera/phone too close - loco is not bent (yet, my record is 2 damaged so far)
Thanks for Birthday message this week, to manage another 366 seems to have wizzed by, Merry Christmas 'N all the best for '25.

Lovely photos, what a great way to display a loco. Looking forward to getting one, but might wait to see if Efe do a mod themselves rather than get it wrong myself.

After 2½ years of searching I finally sourced this - Farish 371-602A Warship D819 'Goliath'



Full story as to why the long search is here.........
