Advertisement Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Hi }{B, Take a look here 4003 hits the buffers. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

}{B Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted July 16, 2010 I was picking out detail because the overall lighting in the museum didn't really lend itself to photographing many of the locomotives in full. I'm not a rail enthusiast but I found it interesting and with enough subjects to run a full roll off before we left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

}{B Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share #5 Posted July 18, 2010 very nice technical photo, although i don't quite get what i am looking at . . . ? The large round object is one of the trains shock absorbers which will compress when a carriage is shunted into it to attach to the loco via the hook arrangement on the left. Or so I believe.

pauledell Posted July 21, 2010 Share #6 Posted July 21, 2010 Howard, Excellent lighting, tones and detail. I'm curious, do the railroads in GB still employ that method of coupling cars together? Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
}{B Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share #7 Posted July 21, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Howard, Excellent lighting, tones and detail. I'm curious, do the railroads in GB still employ that method of coupling cars together? Paul To be honest I've no idea. Possibly freight wagons but I doubt that passenger carriages are. Being in a museum this example is probably many years old so modern practice may be different. But given the level of investment in the railways over here it wouldn't suprise me to find that the technology was outdated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
