i-Telex mobile on a canal boat 7th September 2024

#1

Hello all
Apologies for posting in English, i hope the forum translation makes sense!

A few friends and I have been thinking about taking 37210 on i-Telex on to a narrowboat, on a canal, somewhere in the UK over the weekend of 6th-9th of September 2024. We would endeavour to get the system up and running for the 7th but may run after that if all is ok.

Would anyone be interested either sending or receiving a Telex from the narrowboat? We think this would be an unusual circumstance and we would be happy to provide a couple of location updates if anyone is interested.

Would this be the first Telex received/sent on a canal narrowboat? Are there any similar examples of such unusual loactions?

Hello John,

that is a crazy idea, indeed.
Please announce the event again a few days before.
I will happily send to your canalboat :-)

Kind regards

Hi John,

Nice to see you blending in with the craziness so well

Probably a great idea - I think you should have a mechanical Telex by then to make the whole experience more authentic

Cheers

Since the limited space a T68 would match nice.

Hallo.

Eine beeindruckende Idee, was man anschließen kann, ich habe einen T1000 und erhalte nur Nachrichten von ihm.

Thanks for the recommendation! The T68 looks like a great little machine. I wonder where i could find one....

Thanks Sean, i seem to have a natural flair for it.

And could you recommend a nice mechanical Telex? Those T68s look great!

Hi John,

A T68 is a wonderful machine - I know Henning has stock

I can probably arrange transport for said machine should you decide that you need one
