Eastway ST1 disc conversion by Talbot

Ooooo what gauge? Ha.

00...
I blame Thomas the Tank for this

Spokey dokey.

This is all.

Is that your way of saying you're just shunting around London at 15mph?

Come on Ed, you know 8's have a top speed of 20mph.

I hope that £9 I spent in the forum secret Santa hasn't been wasted

But you're right, it does scream "TRAAAAAINNNS, I LIKE THEM" while travelling around slowly making 'chuffing' noises

Come on Ed, you know 8's have a top speed of 20mph.

Only on certain model, the majority of them only go up to 15mph (with the exception of the 09).

Well, I'm glad to see you're using the book.

09 is a different class with different gearing, which allows the higher top speed ( as I understand it) but very similar and just as good looking as the 08's

You really should read up the Class 13, unusual design for a specific (but now obsolete) type of sliding.

So the plan was to do the inside of the forks in the chevrons too, but in then end, went with the headtube.

Haaa, yeah nice! I'd have done the headtube yellow and finished the yellow squarely about an inch along the toptube and downtube. Just left the chevrons on the seat tube. Still. Like it.

Do you have any head badge to put on?

Do you have any head badge to put on?

Awesome.

Maybe 'Delayed' going vertically up the Head tube..

@BareNecessities @Itisaboutthebike There will be a little something extra in there....

I was thinking of this bell actually

Does not really compute as this isn't an EMU.

Guessin you are/were a writer?

The little bit extra

You're going to need to translate that for me. Whaddas it say?!? Bike looks rad.

Cheers! Matt has been brilliant with it.

Its just a tag that means something to someone. It also upholds the tradition of what happened to most of BR's rolling stock :)

Ha! Rad.

dame maghzah?

reference to maggie?

Great concept, but that tag should possibly a bit more 'graffiti'?
