FLY2 10,109 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 That's it in its original form prior to convention to a A4 lookalike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 That's the one Fly2. There were seven engines in the class built between 1914-22. They were all later rebuilt as 4-6-0 tender engines. I have a list of their names but it's probably not relevant to this thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 We used to have a pretty large wheelie bin when we lived in Sacramento, one day I loaded it with old roof shingles, the fibre glass tar type, on top of those I loaded our normal garbage to hide the shingles, as building material was a no no.. Jeeze that bin was heavy, I had a job getting it to the kerbside. Our municiple garbage trucks had a clamp and hoist to life the bins and tip them in the top of the truck. This was going to be interesting!! I heard the garbage truck and ran to a window to watch the show, truck pulls up, clamp comes down and clamps the bin, hoist starts to.........Oh dear, stupid thing stalls, driver thought he'd got a mechanical problem, so tries again, hoist cannot lift the bin....I'm sniggering, driver looks like he's saying a few choice words.....Tries again, truck grunts and stalls. Driver decides to check the bin for forbidden materials, finds the shingles and writes a tag out and ties it to the handle.....I'm PMSL.. Following week, I'd removed about 50% of the weight...Driver gets out cab, checks bin, is satisfied it's household garbage and dumps it in the truck. After a few weeks I'd got rid of all the old shingles, unbeknowing to the garbage truck driver... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

colly0410 1,189 Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Very bad news. The bin lorry has chewed up the new-ish wheely-bin: it somehow slipped off the loading gubbins & went into the muncher thing, it was so badly damaged when they rescued it that they chucked the remains in & it finished the job. They phoned the office & we should be getting another new one for SWMBO to coo over, lol... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waddo 921 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Wouldn't be surprised if it's the wrong colour bin!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
