Mmm! From the depths of my memory, I think joining the mile high club was loads more fun.

It would be nice to think that those were three steam boilers doing the pull, but I guess they are powered from the third rail?

On our raised track in Sheffield the driver would be able to shake hands with the guard. 🙂

I remember as a boy always having trouble with particular long trains - when going round curves the middle wagons would always get pulled over due to a lack of weight!

The system allowed double heading. If I tried to pull all my rolling stock with my BR class 5 and GWR 56xx half way round the curve all the light weight trucks tried to take a short cut.  |

Ah, Trix Twin, still got mine but only had the basic 0-4-0 tank and couple of trucks so never managed any thing too complicated but great fun. Regards Paul
