Lol indeed.

Thankfully, the train in the sim version won’t be going far, lacking a tender ...:running:

Lol
 
It's a tank engine. It don't need no stinkin' tender. ;)

To quote my parrot: "Woo-woo, choo-choo!" :engel016:

Of course, she only says that when leading our 4 cats (choo-choo, see?) into the bedroom in the afternoon to wake me up. But I think it applies. Yes, she waddles along on the ground. No flying for her! :wiggle:

Heck, look at Gibraltar, or MCAS Iwakuni. They both have roads across the runway. I'm quite certain the "airports with roads" list is long, but distinguished. Sorry, I had to add that bit on the end :biggrin-new:
Small step to go from roads across the runway to a railroad.

I just hope like heck there's some schedule posted in the NOTAMS for the trains though!

On first glance I thought the train looked out of scale - but then I remembered it's New Zealand and Hobbits need public transportation too... :biggrin-new:
 
Of course if you didn't know just how massive a TBM Avenger is (as seen in the real pic), most things compared to it in size would look smaller than expected. I think the real photo makes the Avenger out to look small, if anything.

We have an Me-109 parked near the Avenger where I work. The Messerschmitt looks like a toy.
 
What a laugh !!

It's my Birthday and I want's it.
Yeeessss precious.:couple_inlove:

Certainly in the UK, the railway signals would need to be released by the ATC before they were able to clear and allow a train to cross the runway. They're gone now, but the railway crossing the threshold at the BAE/Airbus facility at Broughton/Hawarden in North Wales used to have a direct control in the ATC tower to put the railway signals to red in case of an emergency aircraft.

It's almost a pity that it's gone, given the absolutely tiny microscopic bit of graffiti that a friend put on the railway scheme plan for the area... :loyal:
