A Prototype for everything

[Madman]

Are you finding that you have built all the possible models of the real thing that you can think of ? Fear not.....

As the British Rail advert said, 'Let the train take the strain.'

I am sure if you look hard enough, there will be a place called 'Flushing' with a railway station?

Now, who can print me a plastic thunder-box, in blue PLA?

Not as convenient as this perhaps...........

Sadly I don't have a picture, but another example of a prototype for everything was my 'chairing out' from the Regular Railway Squadron in 1984 (an odd military tradition for officers leaving a unit). An MoD G-Plan armchair mounted to convey me on our PWay motor trolley, complemented by a NAAFI garden parasol and Cpl Fordham doubling up as driver and punkah wallah. Certainly entertained the locals when it ran down into Rheindahlen DB station. On the way back, it almost left the rails when it ran over a couple of amusingly placed detonators. Serious stuff, military railways.

That'll be interesting to use

Small problem, or is there a special engine set aside for such eventualities?
