RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 24, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) OK the update. The Blue Pullman successfully left the station with the power car pushing five unpowered coaches, complete with Tri-ang wheels through the code 75 pointwork at Sheffield Exchange. I have taken delivery of some more steam locos. A Black Five and a Standard Five, both earmarked for future conversions to Crapotti versions of their respective classes. I have also received (purchased) a B16/2. It is an old DJH kit. On arrival it didn't like going forwards. The gears were disengaging, the problem being the too much slop where the front of the motor clips into the chassis. The motor is a five pole version of the trusted X04. I have temporally cured the problem by wrapping a freezer bag tie around the front of the motor and the chassis. Now goes both ways but is not quite up to the performance I want, it can be and will be improved. Another new addition is a Rebuilt Jubilee donated to Sheffield Exchange by Philip, Duck of Retford. It needs a tender, a repaint and some smoke deflectors. I can get two of the three from Peter's Spares far cheaper than a new engine, so a BIG THANK YOU to Phil. On Wednesday I visited Phil at his nest, we were joined by Steve (31A). We had a lovely day sitting at the table chatting and modelling. Thanks chaps.

Hi Clive, Will this allow, on your post 1968 operating phase, Dai Woodham to neatly arrange all those lovely boxes atop his best scrap yard chair ? Gibbo.

Don't be silly, I cannot play any musical instrument. I saw Rory Gallagher a few times and each time he seemed to genuinely enjoy what he was doing and liked his audience. Unlike some other musicians who you could tell would rather be at home watching the telly not at work. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
