RE: Stolen Locomotive
Gary and All, Here is a link to the missing loco's picture. http://www.modelsteam.co.uk/hercules.html Chuck Walters Twin Lakes Railway http://home.twcny.rr.com/twinlakesrw -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gary Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 11:51 AM To: Multiple recipients of sslivesteam Subject: Re: Stolen Locomotive One can only hope that the thief is ready for the classic World's dumbest crooks list or TV viewing which means the loco will turn up soon enough to enable this likely gorgeous loco to be manufactured and for the rest of us to run the loco as budgets allow. Have you posted a picture of the loco so we might identify it and notify the manufacturer? The picture might have contact info for reporting sightings. I suggest anyone who ID's the loco find a newscrew to film the arrest so we can enjoy watching the event.

If the lowlife had known anything about the subject at all he would know that a model like this would be difficult to safely sell. -- Yours Aye Tag Gorton Longlands Western Railway Trematon Office Saltash Cornwall Directors: T.

There is one at http://www.mylargescale.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=15260. Or at http://www.modelsteam.co.uk/ If you look you can see the footpath by the trees at the back. This is a simple pre-production model with nothing in the way of detail. The production models will look rather different. Luckily the locomotive was almost redundant in terms of design work and these models will start rolling in about a week and I am waiting for one myself which I hope to collect at the end of the month. I did run this model on several occasions and particularly enjoyed the fact that the gas burn lasts one and a half hours without even trying. I decided to buy one after running for around half an hour and then leaving the loco simmering in a refuge siding while we ate lunch beside the train. I then continued running for another forty minutes before running out of gas. The loco is also able to be ready to steam in just over a minute and has the best chime whistle I have ever heard. Tender holds about two hours of water before stopping at a water tower. The American version is weeks away Lowlife can be incredibly stupid. Steve Tucker built his first garden railway in St Ives Cornwall. The line was visible from a spot passed by all the summer holidaymakers and drew crowds when it was in steam. It was the only one in the town and known by almost everybody. This particular no-neck ripped up some of the track and tried to sell it to the only model shop in town.. -- Yours Aye Tag Gorton Longlands Western Railway Trematon Office Saltash Cornwall Directors: T.

Stolen Locomotive
No Neck? How about Neuron Free Environment? SuperEgo Absent, Id pilot only? Jail Time is my time? Bet No-Neck thought, How did the shop know the track was stolen? So glad to know this loco will not be delayed going into production! And an American version coming! WOW! The run times are amazing. Does it use a radiant burner to help increase run time? Any pictures of the American to be?
