SDJR7F88 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 A short running session featuring my Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway Bachmann Collectors Club Limited Edition 4F Class 0-6-0 edited with real sound. Sounds are provided by a number of similar locomotives from my sound collection, captured at various Gala and Preserved Railways over the past few years. Here we see S&DJR 4F 0-6-0, No.58 hauling a local passenger train, consisting of mixture of 4 & 6 wheel coaches in matching S&DJR Prussian blue livery. Hope you enjoy! 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't need one, it's a Southern Region mulitple unit and therefore has a red blind that is displayed in the headcode window, backlit at night. I was the guard on a mystery excursion from Hastings to Barry Island consisting of 2 6-car Hastings demu sets, relieving the train at Swindon, this would have been 1974 or so. We had a cracking run down from Swindon, via Box for some reason. with the demus managing the 47-and 9 airco mk2 schedule. The signalman at Barry would not let us proceed across to the island because the train had no tail lamp, which it didn't need; he'd have known this if he'd ever read his General Appendix. He was a character I'd had trouble with before. I placed my Bardic on a rear bracket to mollify him. That apart, it was a grand day out. The train made a very satisfying amount of noise at speed, and the ride at 90+ was, um, interesting, as was the vibration. We had a Redhill driver who worked throughout, piloted by my mate, and a few hours to kill on the island. Redhill was most anxious to find a bookies, as he wanted to get his bets on, and there was one just to the right of the station entrance at Barry Island. We considered it our duty to show him around the sights, have fish and chips, and a couple of beers (that sort of thing could be done in those days so long as you didn't abuse the privilege), and were relieved by Reading men at Cardiff on the way back. Sometimes, it was a shame to take the money, and this was rest day overtime, but I never went as far as giving any of it back... 7 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These particular ex-SR HAL//BIL units retained stencil route indication until withdrawal, therefore always necessitating an oil tail lamp. Roller blinds (with red tail indication) were introduced on the Southern Region firstly on EP stock. Regarding ex-SR EMUs, only some of the all-steel “Mary” 4SUB units, 4COR/BUF “Nelsons” and the 5BEL “Brighton Belle” units were so modified to roller blinds. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
