cctransuk Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Are they going to make it DCC ready? Why not? Possibly because railway modelling is not about plug-and-play? Regards, John Isherwood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted May 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 10, 2017 With a coreless motor I note.So not for those with a feedback controller. An attractive proposition,particularly in olive green.Very tempting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwardian Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Not optimistic that a pre-Grouping version will emerge, given the description "SR/BR ... Ex-LSWR", which is in line with earlier OO Works products; the I3 in umber was rather the exception. Still we shall have to wait and see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestburyJack Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Just received the following e-mail: I’m pleased to let you know that your order for the Drummond D15 4-4-0 locomotive is now ready. Drummond D15 4-4-0 SR OLIVE LINED No 463 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Brasher Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 My Drummond D15 arrived today by special delivery. OO Works sent me an invoice on 5 March so it did not take long to reach me. I already have a Drummond 700 and a Devon Belle observation car from them and it looks like another high quality item. I wont have an opportunity to run it for a while as I have not got an 00 gauge layout at home and our club layout at Godlingston Manor is not in use while they are putting some wood in the window and door openings to seal the room against draughts. When I bought the observation car someone asked how much it costs. I said it was £115 to which the response was that I must be mad. The next week he asked where he can get one. It looks like people are prepared to pay for quality. I think it is worth paying over double the price of a Hornby T9 and it is nice to have a locomotive made in England. I look forward to seeing reports from other members about how it runs. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamespetts Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) I managed to get two of these from OO Works itself, delivered to-day. I shall of course have to renumber one of them. I was able to run these on the MRC test track this evening: An interesting model indeed. The coreless motor seems to start and stop quite suddenly, although perhaps a well tuned Zimo DCC decoder will be able to deal with that effectively. I noticed that it seemed, when hauling two carriages, to be quite inconsistent of speed when given a low voltage (on DC) and travelling on the straight as opposed to a curve, and would slip at low speed on a gentle curve on the flat with two carriages, but have no problems at a moderate or high speed. These are certainly very lovely models, and are just the ticket for Brighton to Plymouth expresses in the 1930s. I rather wish that I had not missed the I3s from a few years ago.
