37884 whoopsie

[trainmania100]

37884 had a coupling incident today whilst working Barrington wembley services.
Loco suffered some damage to the nose.
Can't find any other gen about it but seen pictures which I can't share due to copyright reasons
Looks like maybe it struck the wagons when running around the consist?
Does anyone have pictures please so we can get a discussion rolling?

Tis merely a flesh wound!

I don't know, looks like it could be a case of the classic class 37 droop snoot judging from that shot, unless it's telephoto lens distortion.

You make a very good point, it does look that way.

All the same I hope I'm proved wrong!

Definitely looks a bit bent.... :/

The right buffer/oleo looks a different height to the left one.

Looks like it hit something pretty hard

Looks like it hit something pretty hard

It hit a 47- I forget which Rog 47 it was, although from the picture above, 47815. Not sure what damage the 47 suffered but probably as bad as the 37 to dent the 37 that hard
Both locos were damaged

The 37 looks very bent. THe symetrical Z marks suggest that the 47's buffers climbed up henc ethe bend down nose on the 37.

That’ll buff out?

Bit of T-Cut and it'll look good as new.

Monty Python and T-Cut in one thread, what is not to like. On display at Eastleigh all weekend I suspect,

If its livery is anything to go by, 884 will rise again like a (Euro)phoenix from the flames...

...but seen pictures which I can't share due to copyright reasons

Copyright tends to lean more towards someone making a profit out of someone elses work.
Things like books, and to an extent art work means you can't particularly copy the work without permission.
But people do it all the time. You will have already broken copyright law in your life before and will do it again.
Stick a source next to the photo and you'll more than likely be fine.

Are you sure that's not a picture of the class 23 rebuild? (it looks like a 23 when the nose is missing; of course there are component similarities before anyone explains!).

Hmmmm......

Copyright means just that. You cant copy it !! There's no particularly about it.

However, I will say this.

You are always better off asking the copyright holders permission and stating that you will clearly state who the owner of the material is, along with any relevant website links.

Why ?

Because, as an ex professional motorsport photographer who did have photo's copied from my website (which were watermarked) without permission and published on other websites without my permission.

I can categorically say that if the persons had asked and said they would link to the source of the photo it would of been fine. But as they couldn't be bothered and gave a b*lls**t excuse when challenged, i really had little choice other than to request that they were removed.

You are right in stating that its more to do with financial matters.
As basically it amouts to walking into a newsagents and nicking a 2p lollipop. In the grand scheme of things its only 2p (which the newsagent maybe able to afford writing off). BUT its still theft.

However, as i said above, if the copyright holder is going to get free advertising from it (so potentially a benefit i.e.both parties win), your more likely to get a far more positive response

How's the 47?
