Which is why the juice rail was extremely rarely on that side.

Not normally tripcock side, but also not rear.

The tripcock arm is on the 6 foot side so accessibility is restricted
to the sucidally insane unless a block can be arranged with the
signaller.

To reset the tripcock manually requires more than a little brute
strength. If possible a brick, large chunk of ballast or piece of wood
is needed to perform this function.


On 73 Tube Stock, you just press a button in the cab - how difficult is
that then?

Right. So where has the issue of re-setting a tripcock arisen in this
discussion, up till now?


In fact, it is your opinions that are worthless.


Given your complete inability to even understand what is being
discussed, that is beautifully ironic.

And as a grammatical tip, never use a preposition to end a sentence with.


Hush, fool.

The above is typical of the averaqe trains nutter - unoriginal and
puerile.

Mind you, if it persists it may result in severe disruption to he group.

Nor begin one with a conjunction.

A couple of questions. How do I stop the wires short-circuiting, and what's
this nylon washer for?
