Looking forward to rakes trundling over the harbour bridge Andy. Is this modellers license or the real world. If so any prototypical images? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Richard, Yep LOADS of weathering to do, in fact, almost EVERY bit of Stock including the Loco Fleet. At least I can go to Eastleigh and see, first hand, what I need to do. Like these bits. Two tone Yellow? Painted out EWS. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you see, this is where I totally disagree with you Old Boy. LoadHaul, Black / Orange was stunning, especially on 60's, and as for Colas, I wasn't sure to start with but now I love it. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 Changes already? No / Yes. Many discussions have taken place about the cut out switch at the door flap. It has not given rise to any issues in over 3 days of running, but this afternoon I decided to change things, NOT because the cut out didn't work, but because I wanted to add a Distant Signal to the Main Line between the door flap and the Fiddle Yard. In order to get the wires across the flap, I needed a plug and socket to carry the 3 Signal wires across the gap. SO, I decided that whilst doing that, I could also add the two Track feed wires, and also replace the cut out switch with a plug in connector. So now when the flap is down in the running position, I have to physically plug in the feed, so there can be no mistakes and it does the same job as before when disconnected. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, i think Loadhaul looks good on everything, even the 121 route learner. Not so sure about Colas! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Kevin, Sorry I missed replying to your post yesterday, Yes the Falcons are nice, and I've just seen some pics of them in use for Scrap and Spoil so I may need a few more by the looks of things.
