RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted March 22, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22, 2021 Whilst you say there isn't too much you can say about routine maintenance, would it be possible to include a bit about what you have to check and how you know if it's in spec or not - such as what the source of the documentation is? I'd find that quite interesting 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quorn Wagon Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) We use 3 sources for our guidence. BR 1183 - Regulations for repairing wagons BR 11819 - Regulations for the Guidance of Train Examiners and Oilers BR11889 - Planned preventive maintenance schedule for BR freight stock and departmental vehicles. For each vehicle we conduct a condition survey looking at the following; Wheelset Axle boxes Suspension Underkeeps Underframe Brake blocks Brake hear Brake safety loops Handbrake Brake cylinders Brake hoses Release chords Buffers Couplings Drawhiok Lamp brackets Steps Label clips Door levers Doors Bodywork Load Handrails Roof coverings Chains Ride height And finally record any other details that stand out to us as requiring attention. We then of course rectify remove or record as applicable. We are not prepared to detail particulars as we are not an engineering authority and do not wish to be used as a source of technical information. That is down to a particular railways safety case and how they wish to manage there own engineering processes. We are happy to discuss privately and give advice and share our thoughts. The GCR then provides an inderpendant assurance of our activities via there FTR examinations. Edited March 22, 2021 by Quorn Wagon 5 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted April 19, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 19, 2021 Excellent work and update, thanks as always, the Airfix box shot is brilliant!, and the close ups for those of us building the kit. If you carry on at this rate you'll be able to get rid of all the pesky coaches and run a proper freight railway. Mike. 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike. I'm sure we can sort that, I'll try and remember to take some pictures and I'll put them here next weekend. I won't focus on the wheel so much as it doesn't have the correct wheel on at present. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted May 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2021 Thanks very much for that Ross, I think I can glean what I need to know from that, and I didn't realise there was a position indicator! Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike. Yes, we thought it was very similar to LMS/BR(M) handbrake standards, which have the same hook to prevent the wheel turning and the same 'Off' indicator.

Michael Hodgson Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 All you need now is something to carry in them and places to load & unload them. Preferably not oil, it would be shame to get them all dirty! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERGE Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 We did call in at Rothley on Sunday but couldn't see anyone to pass on a face to face thank you for what you do. A thank you on here will have to do. I didn't see a donation tin. Was there one? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
