Oh Dear :doh:
The most believable of train crashes will appear in Hollyoakes very soon :o
We have lift off....

Could you flip a 14 at 25MPH ?
86259 comes for a closer look

Must have been converted to run on LPG :D
It's TV-land where cars, trains and everything else falls over and explodes at the drop of a hat ::) :no:
A point much parodied on The Simpsons ;D

But it's a Class 14 by the looks of it!!! Arghh!
I don't watch it but....
The explosion was caused by a leaking gas cylinder from the bar on the train I believe. The 14 was a full size mock up built for the show and is suprisingly realistic (even has rivet detail, and no I didn't count them) The first pic is a blatent photoshop promo pic, the actual moment of impact was I understand live action with very little CG used
Worth watching the first 5 minutes of the show tonight on C4
To paraphrase HHGTTG
"Have you any idea how much damage that Class 14 would suffer if I just let it roll straight over your Mini?"
"None at all"

The TV programme has no 'e' in Hollyoake - unlike my surname :P
2nd picture doesn't show up for me but are the 1st and 3rd pictures of the same loco? Loco in the 1st picture seems to be heavily weathered on the buffer beam with a coupling hook (or whatever it's called) whereas both are missing on the 3rd picture.
There's no 'e' in my surname either :thumbsup:
Mini vs class 14 and the mini wins? :goggleeyes:
I must go and buy a mini straight away!
why did they choose a class 14???
a 47 and 57 would have been more believable I think...

Perhaps the 14 was being driven by Vogons. Ok it was just the Guys building the bypass. :beers:
In view of the 'terrible' pollution and massive carbon emissions that the explosion and subsequent fire caused, one has to ask, did any 'green' protesters' turn up on the site (in their cars, naturally), to rail (I know, unintentional pun) against the event?
(And if not, why not, since such individuals seem to become 'offended' very easily on the 'environment's' behalf)?
Just wondering (in a caring way, of course) ....

Don't worry about the train being believeable it's the cast's so called acting skills I find hard to believe. Don't mind the young female actors in the show so much though............... :angel:
