Zomboid Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 1 hour ago, caradoc said: The issue at Scarborough is that the advent of Class 68 has greatly increased the noise level, compared to previously, and therefore the residents' concern is understandable. And in most places road noise is reduced at night, next to a railway depot the opposite is often the case ! And a shore supply for the carriages (and any loco engine pre-heat/ battery charging facility that may exist) would largely solve the problem. Hopefully one gets put in so that locos don't have to waste fuel and annoy the neighbours. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, unless there is a proper safety concern I cannot see TPE giving up on the MK5s unless they believe they now have too much stock on their hands and are looking to save money (under pressure from paymaster HM Treasury). Well no one at work has heard of it and I was told by work that this had been put out by someone as a wind up for some reason 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted January 19, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 19, 2021 Ah but only when it's moving (usually at some kind of land speed record for 20 seconds before crawling to a halt if anything like the Hornby tinplate ones!). 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always needed a couple of paracetamol by the time I got back to Aylesbury ! When men were men and diesel was an expectorant ! (I have my tongue firmly in my cheek).

d winpenny Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 At present the 68s and mk5s being taken out of service permanently is absolute wibble of the highest order, 11 out of the 13 mk5 sets have been accepted. With the reduced service a lot of them are sitting idle, but things are still going on behind the scenes making modifications to the 68s and mk5s. Obviously while the noise complaint may change things a bit nothing at present David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
