Harry,

Well, leaving aside any question of energy efficiency or pollution - and how
much cleaner is diesel smoke? It looks suspiciously like the swings and
roundabouts effect familiar to the leaded vs. unleaded petrol question
decided not so long ago, to me, but I know which exhaust product I'd rather
have to breathe of the two types of loco fuels. Regardless, I think it comes
down to: keeping them running was a really *very* labour intensive and
filthy job!

I think the no. of people prepared to do such work must be quite small, and
there are possibly enough locomotives in use now to satisfy them. And if
they had to do it every day, most of those would say "sod this for a game of
soldiers!" Or presumably, in Wales: "...for a bunch of bananas!"

But they actually built a new one! I'd have gone to London to see that when
it first came down - but I knew there'd be a thousand people on the
platform.

Thanks for such inspiring contribution, Shane.

Okay, here's an entirely, gratuitously railway-inspired reminiscences
anorak
post!

I've only just clicked your photo link
(http://www.mattallenphoto.co.uk/imag...01-lowres.jpg).
I'm a bit confused though at the chocolate and cream stock as I
thought those were GWR colours but I'm guessing they might all be
Pullmans which I seem to think were chocolate and cream regardless
of the region.


Yes, the ol' Pullman coaches. Saw them up close on Victoria about 5
years ago - behind SR 'Battle of Britain Class' Tangmere (which I
could have seen
when I was at Crediton, but at the time I had no idea I could - and I
presumably saw as a kid anyway but I bet it was a lot filthier!).

Of course, half the time I was in Crediton the trains weren't
running on account of the floods having washed the track away! Which
was before I got Win Me, since I was trying to get to Exeter to look
at the Tinys, when Crediton got cut off. Well, sort of cut off - I
did get to Exeter, but only
after riding through a river. That must have been about a month
before I got
the Simply computer that came with Win Me, and maybe another before I
found
this newsgroup.

Anyway - the Pullman coaches. I saw them again when I was on the
Thameslink
line heading for St Pancs, being hauled away to the West from
Cricklewood. Which quite possibly was towards 'home', as they're
kept at Old Oak Common at Ealing, I know now - which I pass when I
come to London, these days. I don't recall ever seeing them when
living in the Southern Region - or, indeed, the GWR livery you
mention. I didn't know much about such things. I
suppose that livery went at the same time the SR green became BR
blue? But the reason I mention it - that viaduct is, iirc, the West
Country
line,
heading for Salisbury/Taunton/Exeter - which probably explains why
there was
no 3rd rail on it! A regular sight on Basingstoke station when I was
a kid were the Western Region hydraulics. I haven't seen them since,
though not only are there one or two of the Westerns and the
Warships preserved, at least one of them is on the Severn Valley
Railway, just up the road from me - but naturally I've never been
there! Possibly a good thing though, as it seems wherever I go the
railway tracks get washed away - as they did on the SVR two summers
back. Of course, now I am in GWR region anyway - where The
Cheltenham Flyer became a (pre-Mallard) speed-record holder, on the
identical route I now take to Paddington! I saw Mallard when it was at
the Transport Museum, and *that* was at
Clapham. I was staying with my aunt at Dulwich. Somewhere I've got a
photo I
took of the Rag'n'Bone Man outside with his horse and cart. I
remember seeing the Golden Arrow on Victoria, which looked a bit
posh compared to the
stuff I typically saw at Waterloo:
http://newimages.fotopic.net/?iid=y4...100&noresize=1!
(I was on this - five coaches back - in 2005, though it didn't go to
the docks, but rather about a three hour blast through the Surrey
Downs:
http://images5.fotopic.net/?iid=y8q0...=1&nostamp =1)


And while I type this 'O-Bla-Di-O-Bla-Da' is playing - and not only
was it out about the same time, but I remember reading the
Paddington Bear books then.

What I want to see, though:
http://www.sdrt.org.uk/resources/sto...88snell054.jpg
Built 1925 but was apparently never in Prussian Blue. That one is
stored at Minehead, I gather.

Makes me so much sadder, Shane and now I have to look up 'Lucas

If I ever find it...

Incidentally, Joan, I see the A1 Tornado spent some time on the GCR!

Hello Again:

Out of curiosity, I checked the Rising Anti-Virus web sites (both the free
and paid editions). I also downloaded the manual for the 2009 version (and
had previously downloaded the manual for the 2008 version).

What I found was that the 2008 manual stated that the Windows systems
requirements we
"Windows Operating System: Windows 98/Me or Windows NT4.0/2000/XP/2003."

The 2009 manual stated: "Windows Operating System: Windows
2000/XP/2003/Vista," with no mention of Windows 98/ME.

I contacted the company and asked why the 2009 did not mention the older
versions of Windows, but that the systems requirements web page did.
(See: http://www.rising-global.com/product...irus-2009.html .)

They replied that the web page had inadvertently not been updated to
eliminate the mention of Windows 98/ME. They have now (as of today) updated
the web page to match the 2009 manual, which does not include Windows 98/ME.
So, officially, Rising AV no longer supports the older versions of Windows.

However, they did say that Rising Anti-Virus 2009 could be installed and
updated on Win 98/ME, but that the "Smart Active Defense" features would not
function.

So this is just another reason not to consider this product for Windows
98/ME.

Cheers,
Jerry


From: hdoherty@NO SPAMns.sympatico.ca (Hugh Doherty)

I need a new free anti-virus program to work with my beloved WinMe,
and Rising Anti-virus Free and Avast seem to be the only ones around.
Avast stops support for WinMe at the end of this year, leaving Rising
as my best bet. Anyone with experience with Rising Free? Good? Bad?

Well, to put me in context: Steve McQueen would have had one on his ISDT
Triumph.
