[ ] good thread

[ x ] Each to their own.

of course.

but the initial pictures are hackneyed, potripper's plagiarising all sorts of quotes(that didnt even seem applicable) and i dont even know wtf the last picture is about.

All the thread needs now is someone to post a pic of Che Guevara to make it a completely cliched joke and waste of time.

(and if there's even a hint of a train i'm leaving the forum)

This is a Steam Locomotive - NOT a train.

genuinly the first thing that popped into my head when i read that was: "well wtf is the difference"?

I really dont want to know though

Yes you do.

A "locomotive" is the traction device - Steam Loco, Diesel-electric, Electric, Diesel, whatever, that hauls the train, provides the motive power.

A train is the locomotive & all the rolling stock it hauls - be they carriages, freight wagons, whatever.

DMU's & suchlike, or even London Tube Trains, are "sets" really, as the power comes from multiple power units in the riolling stock.

If you want to know any more, just say.

Today, you have learn't something useful.

Tomorrow, we wil do CERN.

lol, inadvertantly a couple of questions about trains and the above popped into my head whilst reading that,

I will however NOT asking them, enough for one day!!!!

Awwww Andrew's not got any pictures

[The-Crow]

Hey leave my m8 Tikay alone

Hes an" Loco" Expert

[The-Crow]

Ok , here me an a few mates playing poker

[The-Crow]

Hey , What , I'm not in it,

I took the picture silly

Don't know why I find this interesting but actually I do. Just checking my understanding though.

So a train is only a train when powered by a locomotive, so the tube, etc aren't really trains.

A train only comes into being when the locomotive is attached to carriages, etc. When not connected we have only a locomotive and some carriages.

Well, "train" describes the complete article - loco, rolling stock, everything.

An "engine", diesel loco or whatever, in isolation, is simply a locomotive.

Assuming passenger travel, a "rake" of carriages, unattached to a locomotive, is just that - a number of carriages linked together.

When the carriages are attached to the motive power unit - "locomotive" - then the whole thing becomes a train. Hauled by a locomotive.

Tubes? That's slightly different. They are known as "tube trains" in lay terms, but different terminology applies. Firstly, motive power for a traditional London Underground Train does not come from a single "motive power unit", or Locomotive - electrical power is taken & converted to tractive power in every, or most, carriages, & not from a "leading vehicle". I suppose strictly speaking they would be called "sets", but I'm not wholly sure, as I tend to major on Main-Line stuff rather than Tube Trains.

I couldn't find a picture of Che Guevara but this is nearly as good

I loved this sit com. Power to the people and all that. Robert Lyndsey is a star. Does anyone remember GBH? Modelled on Derek Hatton I think.

Very poignant pic this one by Banksy.

GBH was required watching at the time, excellent series
