RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted December 12, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2021 Looks like No. 44 is shunting the yard. And a couple of new road vehicles, a Dart Castings farm cart and a little hand cart made by 'Monmouth Models by Peter Williams', its described as an 'Early GPO handcart', nice kit, no idea how old it is I found it in a bits box at a show years ago, never heard of them before or since. 25 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted December 14, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 14, 2021 I believe the Monmouth castings - incl. the GPO handcart - are now with P&D Marsh: https://www.pdmarshmodels.com/products/pw79-3-early-gpo-handcart?_pos=5&_sid=6be34583a&_ss=r 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a fair bit of their range may have been Monmouth, they even use the PW### catalogue numbers. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like you have the P3 on the close coupled hole. I've just attempted this on mine, and the fall plate touches the vertical part of the tender handbrake, preventing it from turning right. It looks like your fall plate is lifted in the video. Did you notice this problem? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you notice this problem? Simple reason why it's lifted up is because it's stiff, if I'd noticed it I'd have pushed it down! The drag beam is on the short setting and the fall plate has been trimmed to clear everything, still really a mm or two too far apart. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted February 22, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2022 Got a job done tonight that I've wanted to do for a while, the electrical connection between the baseboards has been up to now wires in a Choc block, this is a faff on if either if them needed moving so I ordered some hefty pre-wired jack plugs and sockets to replace this and also the wires to the cassette which was 2 wires with crocodile clips on to the rails at the far end, just occasionally there's a dead short and I wonder what is wrong with the loco... no, croc clips touching! 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insulated croc clips can solve that one, but I prefer your solution. Neat. Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
