This particular box spent the entire 40min journey in the vestibule area by the doors... thankfully Class 333s have bloody huge doors. Turning the box on its side got it through the door and onto the local train. While the conductor's back was turned, of course :) Most recently: A HP 7570A plotter in one carrier bag, An Advantest R3361A spectrum analyser on a wheeled shopping trolley (sans bag, but with a lot of bubble-wrap and nylon rope) A carrier bag full of parts, cables and manuals for the plotter and SA. Yes, my arms ached when I got home... That didn't stop me lifting it up onto the testbench and playing with it, though! :) -- Phil. classiccmp at philpem.me.uk http://www.philpem.me.uk/
