That looks like a great spotting opportunity, loads of DMU numbers, as opposed to locos and coaches (I didn't collect coach numbers). You need a haze filter on these photos; with 32 DMU cars I wouldn't have wanted to work in the building overlooking Sheffield Exchange, at least not with the windows open. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four manufacturers have made the 121 DMBS but none have done a DTS to go with it and at the coast of a Dapol or Bachy 121 to cut about to make a DTS.....Lima is the way to go. Sorry the phone camera had other ideas about what it was focusing on. How timely that you put this up Clive. I was speaking to my brother about those DTS to work with a (W) Bubble Car. He has asked that I enquire what you have done to the Lima 117. Or I suppose more accurately what he would need to do to get a reasonable representation. I'm afraid I can't guarantee that it will come out multi-coloured, I only seem to see lots of blue/grey when I visit. All the best TONY 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesysmith Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 He used a bit out of a centre car to replace the brake compartment. A different option is the silver fox conversion kit which has resin parts. The DTS was the same as the DMS used in the 117.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 31, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2021 I'm in the trainset room running me toys. How is this for an operator error. I came into the room with a cup of coffee. I sorted out some locos in the fuddle yard. walked over to the control panel and sent that big grey class 60 and a train off to over the hills and far away. CRASH, as the loco hit my cup. I had left it on the running lines. 1 2 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Clive I bet that even those smarty pants DCC types haven't got an interactive app that will provide GPS data upon the location of your coffee cup, so I wouldn't worry about such an occurrence. Did any coffee get spilled over the class 60? If so it could be a half way house to the livery carried by D0280 Falcon. Gibbo. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not GPS on the cup, but track circuiting may have shown that there was an obstruction if there was any damp on the outside of the mug Hope the 60 and the cup and its contents survived the incident!

Andi Hi Andy, Gibbo and Andi No coffee was spilt, no damage to the cup and no damage to the loco, it stayed on the track. The only damage was to my pride. At the moment there is a train running where even the loco is the same colour as the coaches, it is a maroon Warship on a all maroon set of coaches.

Perhaps this is one of those signals for help - Clive is being held hostage and he is signaling for help by running matched trains. If he has blokes in his videos perhaps that will indicate the number of kidnappers. If only there were some landmarks, hills or other memorable features in Lincolnshire we would be able to pinpoint where he lives to call in the SAS. 2 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Woodenhead, If he had DCC control the track circuits would at least pick up where his coffee cup is to be located. Gibbo. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesysmith Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 We could always direct the rescue party by local topography..........................., wait, this is problem. I think directions like turn left at the farmers dung heap might not go down well. Or look for the place with horses. Or look for the getting fatter old bloke, loosing hair, playing with trains? We still need to narrow it down, far too many options from that description lol. 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
