An overall view of the next few weeks is: Weekdays (Tuesday-Friday) will have 33108 out with Set A, plus 65/72 on brake van rides at Sheffield Park. Weekends and bank holidays will have 33108 out with Set A, the Hastings DEMU running as Set B,...

According to the loco department roster, midweek looks like 33108 + 72 on brake van rides - it’s a one train service. So no Hastings Unit. Tom

Sorry for the late reply to this comment, thinking about it, it also depends on the characteristics of the traction motors. A shunt wound DC motor, fed from a constant DC voltage supply is essentially a constant speed machine, so the motor would...

It is a very long time since I made up any ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, and if I remember correctly it was only about 10/v/v in water - if memory serves me correctly that would be about 20% proof, which I don't believe is regarded as...

In many cases this is similar to the examples of (say) people who move into a village and then complain about the noise from church bells. IMHO if the 'problem' existed before you bought your house and was either (a) already discernable or (b)...

;) All of which factors complicate decision making, but do not remove the need to answer underlying question about how the OSI business supports (or not) the railway. My strong hope, to be clear, is that OSI trades well enough to avoid bringing...

In general, I agree - and I wish OSI (like any rural pub) well. However, there is a scenario in which OSI could be "viable" when viewed as a standalone business, but not generating enough surplus to justify the capital tied up, or the time and...
