Well said to both Dave and John. The ideal fictional loco for me is one that is efficient, kind to track, low maintenance, easy to operate and comfortable to drive AND fire at the same time. Something along the lines of the romney loco's, but with provision for wet weather and warm weather ( along the lines of a coupe/cabrolet!) standardised roller bearings all round, minimal oilling points ( volunteers always forget one  ) wide fire door with room to move on the footplate. All the GPS that ian's been developing, but with the boiler designed with this in mind and a cup holder in the cab. Thing is though, I feel that to get all this, you'd come out with a rather Emmett looking affair  Anyway Banksy... Good luck trying to get all the above fitted into a sexy package, just go easy on the continental smoke deflector/streamlining for my taste! David |
