Re: Museumschepen
Paul,
Wat is de functie van die twee stukken rails, waarvan de uiteinden naar elkaar toelopen. Je ziet dat ook op bruggen.

zodat bij ontsporing de trein niet zijwaards de brug beschadigt of van brug af dondered .
deze dagen zie je het minder omdat treinen met schijfremmen zich zelf in toom houden

Jaap, het beperken van de gevolgschade bij ontsporing is inderdaad juist, maar kun je de link met de schijfremmen wat verder toelichten?Jaap van Dorp schreef: ↑09 sep 2020 22:11 zodat bij ontsporing de trein niet zijwaards de brug beschadigt of van brug af dondered .

Klaas, ze worden "contrarails" genoemd. Als je daar op googeld krijg je veel informatie.
Groet, Paul G.

Re: Museumschepen
een schijfrem (meeste/ conventionelen ) zitten vrij dicht binnen de twee wielen , en zijn maar een paar cm kleiner dan rij opervlak van het wiel . als het wiel onspoort dan komt de spoor staaf tussen het wiel en schijfrem terecht en houd zo het draaistel in juiste richting zonder zijwaardse vrijheid .

Ik ben erg benieuwd naar een foto van wielstellen met dergelijke grote schijfremmen.
Plaats deze dan maar op het topic Het Spoor als je wilt; om het forum schoon te houden.
Groet, Paul G.

Re: Museumschepen
In de USA barst het van de museumschepen, vooral van de US Navy. Daar zijn hele indrukwekkende exemplaren bij, zoals USS Midway in San Diego en USS Iowa in LA. In 2008 ben ik op de Midway geweest en heb een indrukwekkende rondleiding gehad. Een aanrader voor diegenen die een dagje iets anders willen op hun rondtrip.

NET ALS OVERAL - GELD TE KORT 27.1.2021
============================== Manager of Converted Ex-Cunarder Queen Mary Files for Bankruptcy
The operator of the ex-Cunard Queen Mary has filed for bankruptcy raising concerns about the future of the converted luxury liner that has served as a tourist attraction and hotel in Long Beach, CA since 1972. The converted ship is owned by the City of Long Beach and has been managed by Eagle Hospitality, ex-Urban Commons, since 2016.
The Long Beach Post notes that this isn’t the first time a Queen Mary operator has filed for bankruptcy. A series of companies have failed to make the century-old ocean liner and its surrounding area profitable since it arrived in Long Beach in 1967.
The Eagle Hospitality bankruptcy extends well beyond the Queen Mary, however. More than two dozen hotels and other properties, including the Queen Mary, listed as entities under Singapore-based Eagle Hospitality Trust filed for bankruptcy on Monday in Delaware court with a total of more than $500 million debt, according to court records obtained by the Post.
The filing comes as Eagle Hospitality has seen major financial problems since it halted trading on Singapore Stock Exchange in 2019 following a notice of default on a $341 million loan from Bank of America.
There are serious concerns about the condition of the converted ship. In August 2019, Edward Pribonic, the engineer responsible for inspecting Queen Mary on behalf of the City of Long Beach, issued a report stating that the ship was in the worst condition he had seen in his 25 years on the job. Pribonic stated that the neglect of Queen Mary had grown worse under the management of Urban Commons, and concluded that “without an immediate and very significant infusion of manpower and money, the condition of the ship will likely soon be unsalvageable.”
The Queen Mary has been closed to the public since May 7 due to the pandemic.

The owner is the City of Long Beach. They bear the ultimate responsibility. It seems governments like to have no blame for anything. This is just one more failure in a long sad line of failures by government.
What did they expect letting the ownership go to Singapore, its obvious that’s where all the revenue is going to go as well. Time to start investigating whether any of the staff of Long Beach City acquired some unexplained wealth at the time of the sale.
Hmm… ship owner and ownership, anyone know how the term came about.
The larger question is whether the project is viable. Blaming the government is silly. The current manager is at least the fifth private developer, including Disney, that has attempted to make the old ship pay her way. So far, the project has been a public/private failure.
