See that still doesn't confirm it for me. Quite the opposite - the way I read it is the 'confusion' you cite over the terminology actually disproves your theory.
How I understand what he has said is as follows:
Train 1----------------------------------Train 2----------------------------Train 3
C1 + C2 ------------------------------C3 + C4 -------------------------- C5 + C6
(1 set of 2) ------------------------ (2 set of 2) -------------------- (3 set of 2)
I don't really care one way or the other, but you've been banging on about this particular thing for so long, including many other 'facts' that you stated, which turned out to be utter bullshit. It's the boy who cried wolf who no-one believes. You could find an ancient silent movie of LPM showing 17 trains on the track in one single day of operation and nobody would believe it.
Quite honestly - you're banging on about this as badly as you banged on about Mack being involved in the restoration, and you're claiming it all to be fact, rather than opinion or view. I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that if we put it to a vote, the overwhelming majority of votes cast would say they don't care.
Can i ask a mod to add a poll to this thread (or is it better if i create a new one), with the question and choices as follows:
Do you believe LPM used to have 6, entirely different, completely independent trains for the scenic railway, each of them a different colour, and each of them with two carriages each (a total of 12 carriages)?
(1) Yes
(2) No
(3) Who cares
(4) I believe 3 is the correct number
(5) STFU-RWC
