bigherb Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Deep Bronze Green. Colour 224 in the old BS381c colour chart. But it did change to a lighter green, which I don't know the spec. of, later on. BS381C 276 Lincoln green Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenrithBeacon Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 He does have form for asking others to supply information he hasn't bothered to read/look at. Actually, I spend a good deal of my time at the TNA researching and when a matter that I have researched comes up on these threads I freely pass on the information I have. One of the constraints of life is that it's impossible to research everything on a topic as vast as the railways of Britain no matter who much time you spend in the TNA or the NRM. Also, one of the great virtues of subscribing to a forum like RMweb is that it puts you in touch with like minded people who are willing to share what they know. However, there is a downside, and this current conversation is, regrettably, one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Was the Queen Anne Longmorn Distillery livery a preservation era one? I have looked and found photographs at Strathspey in that livery. https://www.flickr.com/photos/killie65/39768304811 But the ones I've found at the distillery taken in 1977 aren't. https://canmore.org.uk/site/16426/longmorn-distillery Jason 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyboy Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 It wasn't until I was searching for pictures of these little things that I realised that some of them were still in commercial use well into the late 80s/early 90s, so almost anyone can justify buying one.

Steamport Southport Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I wonder what the story behind the horseshoe was. Probably hit a horse. Seriously though, I believe that some people think it's good luck. Often hanged on shed doors. I don't believe in such things, touch wood.

Guest teacupteacup Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I'll definitely be picking on of these up, cracking wee machine!

SRman Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Answering my own question from before, it looks like these and the Peckett 0-6-0STs will have 6-pin sockets for DCC. That's according to the listings on Hatton's website. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Isn't it good to have the prototype manufacturer's poop sheet for a loco (P2 of this thread)? I hope all potential purchasers have noted the maximum speed of 9mph! So that's an hour off the marathon record, and no clue to how long it would take to graft up to that exhilarating rate of progress, but I am prepared to believe most of a minute light engine on level track... That'll be CV3 set to at least 60 then. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SovietSalad Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Didn't foresee... Don't need.... Must have! A prototype question, if I may. What sort of haulage capacity would a real one have? I'm not expecting (or wanting too much), but with several private siding ideas churning around my mind at the moment I don't want to do something with too much traffic for such a small shunter. I can use my Sentinels for "busy" layouts, this needs, not a restful life, but less intensive plan. Or am I wrong? I've towed a class 416 2-EPB down a slight incline with a 48DS before, and up a slight incline with 7 standard BR wagons, they're surprisingly strong. Running light they take off rather quickly!

RMweb Gold russ p Posted January 9, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9, 2019 When I lived up north a neighbor used to maintain the Guisborough 48DS he always used to say pop down to see it but unfortunately never did. I did see it a few times but no proper visit What was remarkable was the site it was on had not been rail connected since 1964 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruston Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 There were two more 48DS that certainly worked into the late 1990s and may even have made it into the present century. They were used by contractors Grant Lyon Eagre and I photographed them in their plant yard, at Scunthorpe, in 1995. I saw one of them on a track laying contract at Bescot in something like 1999 or may have been 2000. I'm not exactly sure now. Scroll down this post for a photo and for one of Trackwork Ltd. 48DS ,which has already been shown here in an earlier paint job. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/28530-industrial-locomotives-in-the-late-80s-to-mid-90s/&do=findComment&comment=303217 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hroth Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Looking at the manufacturers info sheet, its nice to see that R&H actually gave it an "R" number (R9618) but Hornby didn't use it! Also, it may have had a fully glazed cab, but no windscreen wipers and cab heating was an optional extra... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
