Title: Safety Nightmare Post by: eightf48544 on September 22, 2008, 11:00:25 How to use a railway.
All four types of traction share the same track mostly single as well. Ages range from 1897 to 2004. Mallet and ED tram/train. The tram is on diesel here. Railcar 1999 Loco built 1976 as standard gauge B B rebuilt 1990 as metre gauge C C. It's radio controlled, the loaded hoppers are propelled down a 1:30 gradient with the driver standing on the first wagon with the controller. The narrow gauge rollboks are braked, the standard gauge wagons have outlets on their braking system with pipes coupled to the rollboks. Yes, they really are standard gauge hoppers. What a way to run a railway, far too dangerous! This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
