    Searching for this wagon

    I think that livery dates from the late 1980s so my guess is you won't find it around today. Just to be clear. Do you want to buy or hire a wagon exactly like this or just a similar one ?

    My yellow Hornby wagon is a classic which bears the name Saxa Salt, originally a Middlewich company but now much of the production is in Worksop

    The Great Circular European Railway Challenge

    I travelled in panorama wagon over the Bernina in August. This is a fantastic ride and if you have good weather it will probably be the highlight of your trip. It was so amazing that I didn't notice the lack of a cushion. It was cool in the tunnels but a short sleeved shirt was quite adequate...

    This video makes the Talgo system look so simple... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_LFIUkcPNM It doesn't explain how the wheels are unlocked and locked in place. How does that work ?

    Now I'm very confused as well as being lost in this network of black holes. Since when has Orpington been moved to the epicenter (z1) of the Underground ? In fact it is hard to find a version of the tube map where Orpington is even mentioned, assuming such a place exists. I challenge this...

    Oh dear we're back on the Underground again, an unwieldy, sprawling mass which nevertheless comes in handy when trying to travel around the equally unwieldy and sprawling mass that is London. It's so depressing to travel through the claustrophobic depths of the black hole which they call the...

    So for London-Berlin-Moscow-Peking-Chicago-New York, we're looking for a bi-mode trainset with automatic gauge changing axles. How many different pantos would it need ? How much diesel fuel ? Should it tilt as well ? Max speed 300Km/Hr ?

    Gauge change poses no more problems than is currently the case in Europe. There are many innovations coming forward to tackle that problem. http://www.railwaygazette.com/nc/news/single-view/view/rzd-and-talgo.html

    That looked like a forward pass, which you can get away with, according to Wayne Barnes' blindside amendments. The route you might have taken looked like a magical mystery tour. Abbey Road

    Old Thomas Cook European Timetable

    I have a very tatty old copy which I took everywhere when I once went interrailling. Woudn't it be great if a few Cook's timetables were online, so we could all enjoy browsing them.
