You might try to PM DaveHub about this. He drives UK locos for a living, though I think he works for Freightliner, not EWS.
Thank you, whatlep, I would have liked to try that, but I cannot. You are a moderator, so perhaps you can explain a few things. Apparently I am so new that I am still in a probationary stage that restricts me from doing many things. Whenever I try, I get a constant circle of messages telling me to log in, and I don't have permission, log in. For instance:
- I can not get a signature that works.
- I can not get an avatar.
- I can not look up other members on a list to find their PM addresses or their public data. [Exception to this - I can look someone up by clicking their name by a message they just posted.]
- I can not even look up the Forum FAQ which might tell me how long to expect this probationary purgatory to last or how to get these various funtions to work.
I'm retired from a security related profession. I completely understand and support the need to vet new members before letting them run rampant through the system especially where data on other members is concerned. So I have no complaints there. But I think denying me a signature or the ability to discover the rules of how the operations of the forum function, may be a bit oversecure.
Anything you can do to illucidate things for me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ted Tuck, AWRYPres
