How do you stop the wood from warping, my 3mm ply goes in flat but once I score with brick texture, it warps the wood like crazy. Also which paint spray do you use? Thank you
@SteveSmithRailways Ай бұрын
@@fedelerinaldi6720 I dont use 3mm and not ply either. All brickwork is done using MDF and thickness depends on which scale I'm working with. Sounds like you are scoring too deep, hence with all the mortar lines, its weakened the ply.

As it's a nuclear flask train, a 2nd loco is in the consist incase of failure of the leading loco. It allows the train to continue its journey. It's not a load that you would want blocking the main line with fast trains around .

@SteveSmithRailways 9 ай бұрын
Its done by multiple working. The rear loco is connected to the front, so the driver basically has control of both. On occassions, the rear loco is just couple up and non connected in multiple and only used if the front loco fails, hence why there's always two, due to the nature of the working.

@@jamiew1664 Correct, 2 engines together are called 'double headers'. Why do they need 2? because this is carrying waste nuclear rods, so not something you want stranded on the main line, hence they'll have 2 locos incase 1 should fail.

Although its probably too late now as im 44, but i love to watch train videos on youtube. Especially videos with a view from the cab, is there any way that a guy like me could ever take a trip on a train riding in the cab??? how could i possibly try and make this happen? Its just that ive been fascinated with trains ever since i was a small boy, but ive never really explored my fascination, apart from watching youtube videos. @@SteveSmithRailways

@@jamiew1664 Maybe 30 years ago you may have been lucky and got in the cab...... too many H&S regs now to even think about it. I have a few contacts and the last cab ride I had was back in Feb 2009.......there is a playlist I think on here that I did and filmed it, with us failing on the West Coast Main Line. Typically, my battery died so never got to show the end but we were recovered by the rescue/thunderbird loco at Preston and brought back to Preston where the rescue loco detached and I ended up having to catch a Pendo back to London. Still, great memories to have.
