That is amazing Geoff but how do we power the train with 242 I doubt Nuclear Powered Trains sit well with you but designing one on paper would be fun.
Just to make something like that would be amazing I always wanted to make a Dalek.

These trains reflect the superb skill of Chinese model makers.

They are available either ready made or in kit form.

There used to be a very active group making the models in Millom in a disued church.

Tell you Geoff making something like that would be a wonderful,Shades of Oliver Postgate.
I remember as a teenager there was a man that closed down a TV Shop on New Market St Mr Dickinson he gave me old early TV sets some so old they had a EY51 a EHT rectifier that was soldered in as they could not make a ceramic base for 12kv.
You look after yourself Geoff.

Geoff Dellow said...

Yes.

They were the days when you could fix things like televisions and cars yourself - with a bit of knowledge which was so 'empowering'. Personally I regret this and now would still always choose something that I could fix myself even though it might be more expensive - which is why I've still got reliable makes of say vacuum cleaner that I reckon I can fix should I have to (financially).

Here is one last though for you Geoff awful day so levity is called for.
Do you remember Spike Milligan's Pakistani Dalek?.
We need a Jehovah Witness Dalek...
He,She,It must be Nuclear Powered I hope you can set up Ulverston Heavy Water Dr Dellow as we need a Neutron Moderator as we cannot have a meltdown as The Dalek hands out copies of The Watchtower.
