Greetings Programmes, to my mediocre and fun channel.
Here you'll find a variety of videos taken across parts of Cumbria, and sometimes further afield from the past decade.
Theres none of those fancy intros, or telling you to like and subscribe in every video nonsense. Just good old fashion - record, edit and upload videos.
Expect a variety of videos, mainly around railways, buses and trips recorded between 2013-present day, where possible I'll include dates and info, if I remember what is it.
Some videos on here will be older videos taken when I started recording stuff, so the quality will be a bit poor, but to be expected on phones of the mid 2010s.
There will also be the occasional model build videos for Modeling Monday. Which are uploaded when I have time to build them.
So grab the popcorn, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
Good morning sir, nothing better to wake up to than a modelling video of this beast, you have made great progress, it looks great, I look forward to the painting episode/s, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les
This was exactly the routine of starting up the school buses in Nottingham as late of 2003. Bellamy’s Coaches, Lowes Coaches and Dunn-Line all serving schools. Buses would pile in to the terminus and 5 minutes before leaving at 3.25 the cold starts began. All drivers would be lighting cigarettes, foot to the floor until that blaring air warning died. Typically it would come back on at least once so down again went the foot, drowning out the alarm again.The clag was otherworldly.
@@batmandiablo3 They were in a blue bottle. In fact, all the chrome parts were in the blue bottle completely submerged. It had taken a week and, although some of the chrome had been removed, it had been removed in patches. I kept stirring to agitate and on Wednesday last, *Eureka* everything was bleached. Italeri chrome must really be a quality product.
seriously?.. looks like a pigs ear!.. your painting skills are... well... naff! you didnt even mask the cab for painting??.. and white glue???.. WTF??...
I drove one of the first Leyland National buses for the Northern bus Company based at Winlaton Depot. They were a breath of fresh air after driving the old style buses with crash boxes. They were great to drive, light controls and easy to handle. Great buses. The happiest days of my life.
That is gresg progress on the trailer, it certainly will be a good lengtn when coupled with the tractor unit, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia
That looks to be some great work so far on the Scammel tractor unit, I have subscribed to your channel, so I can see how you go, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia
That looks cool, is there anyway you could zoom in just a little? It's kinda difficult to see what's going on with the photo etch, I'm sure you do nice work you might as well show it to the world my man, can't wait for the finish line 👍
Thank you, hopefully it'll look the part when I finish it especially with a Cheiftan tank on the trailer. I will see if I can move the camera closer to the mat for next time im at the bench, unfortunately these were filmed back in November/December, and I'm Still working on it
How the heck is the driver supposed to see where he is going is there a camera that feeds what's going on in front of the plow to the driver or is there someone in the cab of the plow feeds to the driver
Yes, back in the day when such ploughs were a necessity, they were manned by locomotive staff. Not sure as too the means of communication then but certainly now by radio.
Or are there linked controls ? I just don’t understand how anyone is going to be able to see if the plow is working in deep snow., even if they are in the plow.
The body of the plough is shaped in away that the driver( and person in second man seat) can see right down the side of it, like a driver of a steam engine looking down the length of a boiler.
