Good shots there, but don't you just hate it when trains suddenly sprout a row of streetlamps just when you press the button http://tcfoto.railuk.org/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=3

Certainly happens to me enough times.

Indeed, is that clag I can just see coming out that 159?!

Anyway, 442 VIDEO UPLOADED!!!

I've always liked the 442's for their comfort and the presence of a buffet, but yesterday I had my first ride in the 'powercar' when there were no other passengers making a din.

It surprised me just how loud these actually are and by the performance from Weymouth to Dorchester I'm starting to think there is such a thing as 'EMU thrash'. Long live the plastic pigs :notworth: .

442 "thrash"?:?

442 "thrash"?:?

You what :?

 

[Dennis]

442 "thrash"?:?

If the definition of thrash is working hard and making a din then you could call it EMU thrash. Obviously not a patch on the diesel thrash enjoyed HO behind a clapped out 31 out of Weymouth, where you can get a lungful of fumes, a face covered in oil and really here it

Oxymoron

 

[Tom]

Few updates... nothing "new"... just a new layout!

i swear that the WSX Electric on platform 9 is the xx:12 Poole and the one leaving platform 7 is the xx:13/4 to Waterloo
GOOD VIDEO! I like it

 

[Tom]

No... it isn't, the train isn't even departing from the platform... its running through at low speed due to a TSR... its the xx35 off Waterloo that is running through at speed.
