Leander Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Don't forget DP2 in your motive power lineup. Why? That's Central not City. Nice loco though which is more than you can say about Heljan's miserable attempt at representing it. Edited January 21, 2019 by Leander Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopardml2341 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Only leopardml2341 ever gets Rats in the canal. Hurrumph! I've never had a rat in the canal; close on a number of times I'll grant you but never actually in.

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted January 22, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) I've seen plenty of rats in that particular canal but fortunately not of the Sulzer variety. I even dealt with quite a few of the two legged variety in that area in my working life. Jamie Edited January 22, 2019 by jamie92208 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will shortly get the subsidiary allowing it to back on to the empty stock in platform four.

Popular Post HAB Posted February 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2019 The lever frame for Wellington box is now complete (mechanically) and has passed all the testing I have so far thrown at it. There were a couple of quite important locks missed, but as it happens, they could be provided very easily without dismantling the whole thing. When I first looked at this job, I said I thought it would be fairly straightforward... well, it much of it was, but there are some quite difficult locks as I mentioned in a previous post. In truth, the finished job has quite a lot of metalwork in it:- Part of the complexity comes from the number of possible routes - for example, in this shot, there are 22 out of the total of 53 levers reversed - these represent 4 separate routes, and in the middle, is a continuous run of 8 levers reversed, and they are involved in 3 of the 4 routes. Some of the metal work needs to be a bit ingenious to acheive all of this and here are close-ups of just three of these - in total, there are 15 "loose pieces" (the swinging bits) to provide all the conditional locks. So just the electrical bits to do, then the Laird has a few jobs to do before we can get the thing in service - experience with the City Junction frame has shown just how important some proper locking is to the running of the job!
