At least they would not stand out as bad in photos. <br /><br />I have been following the progress of rebuilding and extending the line to Broadway since around 2003. My wife and I stay at the caravan site opposite at least once a year and will be visiting again this weekend so extremely looking forward to seeing the station and catching a train along the line. <br /><br />Well done to every one who helped build the station and extension, from the photos and comments you all deserve a medal. <br /><br />Regards<br />Ian StylesIan Styleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931314996530150800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-50235805334623473392018-07-29T22:27:47.649+01:002018-07-29T22:27:47.649+01:00The sort of detail that will hopefully be added on...The sort of detail that will hopefully be added once the nuts and bolts are all together and the S+T guys can relax a bit knowing they've met their deadline!

I was looking for the Sulzer displacement but couldn't find it.<br /><br />Your info shows what I was trying to outline: the Hymek has a much smaller displacement, and a much larger power output. Two completely different engine types, and sounds, how interesting.<br /><br />I'm also thinking - is the Hymek's Maybach V16 not a cousin of the Tiger tank's Maybach V12?Jo https://www.blogger.com/profile/05480195769830116100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-81492733695086986262018-07-29T17:57:01.631+01:002018-07-29T17:57:01.631+01:00The Sulzer 6LDA28-A in the Class 26 seems impressi...The Sulzer 6LDA28-A in the Class 26 seems impressively large.

These would have been far less intrusive, plus you cannot see which way the camera is looking. That shown can be seen to be looking mainly along the platform, and, unless there are sufficient cameras to cover the total area with overlaps, the wise ones can possibly easily work out how to avoid getting caught by any of them; and for certain cameras to then be masked from behind.

I once travelled in a Class 115 (or possibly 117) DMU from Swindon to Cheltenham, hauled by a Class 47. The DMU had failed, so they just stuck a loco on the front. Acceleration was impressive - but there was no train heating!<br /><br />I also remember, sometime in the 1970s, seeing a Hymek on a very long unfitted freight going south on the embankment at Pittville. Before Pittville Sports Stadium was built it was possible to get a full-length side view of trains on the embankment from the swimming pool car park.Michael Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386451061160258935noreply@blogger.com
