G'day All,
Time at the library is of a premium when I am there.
Multi-tasking.
I grab video clips downloaded from You Tuber etc to view at home later.
YES, can't make noise viewing video at the library.
And, I don't bother to cart earplugs.
Depending upon library server usage, it can be much faster to download a video clip than view it.
Cart it home on me usb stick and jam that into me media player at home to view.
A self weighing tender, HMMM.
Might be something to do with what I squizzed in some LMS training video clips.
ECONOMICAL usage of coal and water by crews.
Also BR management whinging about the cost of coal and water consumed.
Crews overloading the bunker with coal which might tumble off enroute and snot cattle on platforms.
Or chatting and not watching the water column spurting excess water out of the tank.
We did adopt track weighbridges here, but not for locos originally, only cargo.
Then more recently static weighing for entire trains trundling along.
Plus, WD soot belchers might have had to trundle over light pound rail in foreign lands.
So, would be handy to know just how much weight was on the tender axles.
Steve.
