RMweb Gold teaky Posted December 11, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 11, 2019 You may be interested to know that over on Tony Wright's thread there are photos of some attractive locos plus one of those water tanks on wheels that several of you seem to find inoffensive. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Tony is a lucky guy and has influence enough for Bachmann to give him a running sample for LB of 9487, the BR black version. It has good haulage capacity by all accounts.

Lovely shot Robin, even more so in Black and White. Looks as if I timed my weekly visit to Brent very well to catch 3864 on the down coal.

It has good haulage capacity by all accounts. Photo courtesy of Tony Wright. I am lucky, Rob, And I hope I never abuse the privilege. I suppose, by having a 'largish' trainset, I can offer RTR manufacturers the chance to really test their locos. They all have test tracks, of course, but they're limited in size. The loco you've shown easily hauled over 40 kit-built/modified proprietary, full-laden coal wagons. Not only that, it's incredibly quiet. Quiet enough that on test, light engine, we both totally forgot about it running, and I put another loco on the same road! Oxford Rail have tested their locos on LB, and I've tested Hornby ones as well (I look forward to the Accurascale Deltic!). Heljan's O2s were subject to extensive testing before production began, and there are at least two other new types to be put through there paces, though non-disclosure prevents me (quite rightly) from telling you what they are. By coupling up two wires, I can even have LB as DCC! Now, what about that! Regards, Tony. 11 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is how many of us first sampled DCC. It isn't for everyone, not every layout 'needs' it, but as a way of dipping a toe, it is a great way to start. 21 years later...... 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you've had success with it, Ian, However, can it work the other way round? By just coupling up two wires to a DCC system, can it then be run as analogue? More of a Wright Writes discussion (again), I suppose. Regards, Tony. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post gwrrob Posted December 16, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2019 Seen before, the aforementioned pannier, 3796 , arriving from Kingsbridge with the branch B set in tow. A pannier certainly never offends. Something different but not GWR , coming later in the week. 22 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What with the photo of the livery sample of the MR 0-4-4T on Mr Sheephausen's thread, it seems that we might expect two rather super offerings from Bachmann in the not-so-distant future? I see that the pannier even has sandbox operating rods, how excellent. 1 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A really fine model that captures the Victorian origins of the loco. ( and it ran on the best West Country line by far.............) That said, the 94xx shows the advances made in the intervening years and Bachmann have captured the heft and bulk of the real thing...... But I'll stick with the Victorian era thank you very much..... Rob 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A splendid and most commodious notion for any gentleman, I do declare. I am anticipating, however, an upgrading of certain bridges to permit a 94XX to operate in the Mid-Wales and Welsh Borders area, to say nothing of someone sending one to Barrow Road or Gloucester for wheel replacement and the administration of the appropriate medication to permit it to operate on Midland lines. An 0-4-4T will also need to be procured, for the planned re-emergence of 'Bleakhouse Road' in due course. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
