It'll be dark by then, Mache. What colours are the locomotives?

LMS Class 5MT 4-6-0 nos 44871 and 45407

Steam hauled: Boness-Bury

Load: 11 coaches

Did you see The Duchess of Sutherland on the 8th Oct?

Black and I was out on the 8th

Hopefully you'll see her the next time she's passing through.

Similar

A similar locomotive at night.

45407 and 44871 - spotted on Wiganworld.

Same mister owns them both

Do they always go everywhere together, Mache?

I think they have both been working up north and returned together

They look like heavy smokers - or is it the vapour of those e-cigs? Beautiful.

probably chuffed about being near home

45407 - The Lancashire Fusilier - The loco is based on the East Lancashire Railway at Bury.

Owned by Riley and Son.

As is 44871, who has no name.

Rumor has it that this steamed at Carnforth for the first time in 40/50 odd years today

At which point do they become a 'Trigger's Brush', Mache?

Seven new heads and three new handles etc.

I think Dr Dibnah discussed this ith one of the Welshmen. Something along the lines of only a lever being from the original loco.

The loco was dismantled over the years for spares for Leander, largest part was a new pair of driving wheels that were cut through whilst at Barry

There's some good railway stuff just landed on Album, Mache.

Whelley box etc.

Also, whilst on the subject of restoration:

Look at the rot on this

many smokeboxes were replaced in the past due to acids caused by ash and steam


how many locos had the same tubes after more than 2 or 3 years

True.

as jo anne says it will be dark, but there is a web cam of the west coast mainline just north of wigan.

i will try and find the link.

Thanks, Redtop19.

A photo of British Railways Stanier black five 44871 ( is that how you'd type her 'name', Mache?) is a recent addition to WW's Album:

WALSHY
Has the MACKEREL MAN been behaving himself to/day or as he had his RED bullying head on? Sorry cant stop on I’m tired with Laptop repairs must have a early night.

Turdy tarby turned up has he....Be crying when I explain how to fix Computers again

Simple question? How do you re-flow a Video chip on a laptop main board.
10 seconds should suffice.
I'm tired

Times up I'm off! Methinks you have a lot to learn? Try Google I'll ask you another to/morrow

(Comment removed because it broke the rules)

Mac - do you know who he is? Whats his problem?

VG, you know that unwritten rule you mentioned?

turdy tarby....he is bitter because I reply to people who have problems with their computers and he wanted to be the 'whizzkid....Do they have whizz old men?...but a bit slower than whizz?.

See threads such as this

He is also a bitter little betty because I helped rid the site of his C*AP party idols.

Ah, I see.

It's really not too difficult fixing your own hard drive, if the problem is a head crash, or the infamous Seagate "stiction" problem, if you know what to do. You will require #4/0 steel wool, paint thinners, WD-40, a few hand tools, and about 45 minutes.

- First, you need a clean room, so make sure the garage door is closed before you begin. Move those old lawnmower parts off the bench. Disassemble the sealed unit and carefully wash all parts with paint thinners. Bend the read/write heads out of the way, and then disassemble the platter stack.

- VERY CAREFULLY buff the platter surfaces with the #4/0 steel wool. This will remove any existing data, level out any surface defects, and help to redistribute the magnetic media and fill in those pesky "bad sectors" that most drives have.

- Reassemble the platter stack, and using a .015" feeler gauge, bend the read/write heads back to the platter surface, using the feeler gauge to set the gap. This is slightly higher gap than the factory uses, but it reduces the chance of head collisions with any flotsam you neglected to remove.

- Give the heads and platters a good shot of WD-40 and reassemble the unit. If your drive has a filter, replace it with a clean section of gauze pad.

All that's left is to low level and DOS format the drive, and you're back in business. I haven't tried this myself, but my friend's wife's sister-in-law's husband knows a technician that does it all the time....

Kill it, kill it with fire!

There'll be nowt left to burn if you follow Eront's advice.

Easy innit, EQ.

He will cry when he reads this....Get some toilet paper ready.

Nonsense man It's really not too difficult fixing your own hard drive

It takes me around 30/40 mins to change a motherboard on any laptop? and reboot.

Around the same time to replace a power jack- connection

After reading your comments , I doubt very much that you and the MACKEREL would know how to start.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Whooooooooooooooooshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

HAHAHAHA Can some one please tell him Wheres that toilet paper Mac

Mache is offering 16:58's

Who

No, leave turdy to his two usernames and let him gloat to himself.

Keep the thread on track

HAHAHAHAHAHA

In't google great?

Am just sorting this discombobulated throbulator out. Be with you shorty(Not a typo)

Izal, grips your **** but the **** slides off?

tarby knows all about such devices, TOM.

The Mackerel:
Knows as much about computers as I do about Nuclear –Physics?
The rest of his shoal? Well

HAHAHA!

Or the improper use of a hyphen.

How's ZE FUHRER, Tarby?

On a serious note, if we need anyone to help fix out Computers, we will come to your blanket fort and ask forgiveness for interrupting your colouring in.

{Yes it is)

How little the Mackerel knows? A pea sized brain in a melon head, little wonder he comes out with nonsensical rubbish all the time.

Kinda cute eh, tarby.


(ppssst. Despite the common myth, the weight and size of a brain has nothing to do with intellectual ability. Albert Einstein’s brain actually weighed less than the average weight of a human brain)

Mache - have you see Mick's thread on WW Forum - Steam Trains Haigh Hall.

Wigan and District Model Engineering Society - www.wigandmes.co.uk

Splendid!

I thought it was on today at first, but then realised the thread & video were from yesterday, 5th May.
