Thanks. There is a commuter line that I love. Estoril line (or Cascais line). I had the pleasure to be allowed to drive the trains for a simulation program. With no experience, just 2 days of practice (2 to 3h a day) and I was able to make the timetable with less than a minute late.Joao
I love those trains, very nice pics & your Hats as well.
Ive been working with commuter trains for over 22 years & enjoy it highly !
Those cars suffered several renovations through the years until it was time to replace them with newer cars with air conditioned. Those original were double units and the newer are triple units allowing trains with 3 or 6 cars.Thanks for sharing. When I went to high school in the 1960s the Canarsie line was still running old cars... among the oldest on the NYC subways at that time. The conductors and controls for operating the doors were inside the passenger section of the car. The upholstered woven wicker seats were getting pretty chewed up by then, but I loved them.
Good to see more westerns on TFLSea Bass great Portis very nice RLK's hand-me-downs are great. I've been on a Resitol kick as of late. Thursday we had snow and 2 degree weather and it was my Resitsol Quicksilver
I’ve been in the UK several years ago but I went mainly to Scotland’s Highlands and Isle of Skye. Only been one or two days in London because of the flight home or because we were changing trains to other parts of the UK.Joao - thanks for sharing those photos - I'm glad they've kept them. This is a bit more on the Isle of Wight service - 75yr old rolling stock still in daily use
if you're ever in UK it's worth a visit. I wish I'd managed to get up to London for this last year.
I think it looks good on you with or without smile. I hope you’ll be able to keep it.Can't help it guys but I really like this Western! Had to wear it again this morning!
I’m still wearing this old 4,5” brim Stetson. I think my hats with 3,5” brim are starting to look too narrow…
