Class 08 loco as width gauge

[Agrippa]

There have been recent posts regarding using a Class 08 shunter as a method of
ensuring clearance at the trackside. If you don't have one no need to buy one,
just cut a piece of card  22mm  x   60mm and fasten it to a flatbed truck with a
rubber band and that will suffice.

It certainly would work but isn't as much fun as an 08.

[scotsoft]

Does not look much like one either 

cheers John.

If you want to use a cmxn track cleaner then the clips are 25mm....

Presumably the flatbed truck is pulled around by an 08

My Mum warned me off all those 888 numbers

My Mum warned me off all those 888 numbers

My mum was well into the 666-666 mallet. Nailed me to the garden fence more than once and said she was doing me a favour!

Garden fence? You were lucky (respeck to Monty Python)

Old Chinese proverb, man who sit on garden fence end up with a couple of acres,,,,

And all these comments have come from a class 08 the mind boggles 

[CarriageShed]

The mind frequently finds cause for boggling in this forum, and then it gives up boggling and runs away screaming.

Mine ran away screaming long before I found this forum!

I'm sure I passed it on the A11, I think it was on a Tuesday afternoon....
