On a lot of old locos you had a toilet in the engine room and you had two men but no such facilities on modern locos you have to wait untill you go into a loop or stopped at a red light in an emergency i have just stopped anywere.
When you have to go you have to go. ccmmick.

That made me laugh. Us British like a bit of "toilet" humour.

This of course opens up a new vision of exactly what is meant by the term 'dumped loco'.

The Class 66 has a fan assisted heating element. On the first position it blows warm air but not enough to heat the cab on a cold day. In positions two and three the fan becomes very noisy and blows very hot air onto your legs. Many drivers prefer to switch the heating to first position and set the Hotplate to maximum. That seems the best compromise. For food if you place a few pieces of ballast on the hotplate then place a Steak & Kidney Pie wrapped in tinfoil on the stones, it cooks a treat. Very few drivers I know still have the billycan of old, I would say they may still be used on Ballast Trains by DBS, Heavyhaul, DRS or GBRf traincrews. Class 37 & 47 had urinals but their use ceased when boilers finished on Diesels, this due to the water tanks not being refilled on servicing points. Other locos may have had urinals but I can only comment on Engines I worked on.
