RMweb Premium Bogie Posted March 24, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 24, 2016 Rest assured I would attend if I was in the UK - but I am not. I am beginning to think the constant reminders are an attempt to reach 100 pages by a set time - perhaps a bet with someone?? In any event I expect lots of photos/videos. Good luck and best wishes to everyone who attends. Happy Easter! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 If folk start naming me after a ruddy shopping mall in reading (since renamed) I'm going to play somewhere else Could be worse, Mike. Could have been a character from ITV's "Benidorm"... "Geoff Maltby (Johnny Vegas), who calls himself 'The Oracle', has a computer-like knowledge of trivia, he claims to be the undefeated Lancashire pub quiz champion, and is prone to fits of competitive behavior; he has always come on holiday with his mother, Noreen".

Thanks Mike, well that's me sorted then, it's a Blue Route so I need to dig out my Blue Locos I guess. :no: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Now I need to do some research on Blue and below Locos for the Branch, I know my Panniers and Prairies are o.k. as is the Class 22, T9, M7 and 700. So the ones I need to check are the Std 4MT, Tender Loco, Ivatt2 MT Tender, N Class, Bulleids and Hymek's. So I'm looking at Locos under 17Ton 12 Cwt. Although having said all that I will still be running all the above as ''A'' I have them and, ''B'' I like them and, ''C'' Its my Train Set. But it would still be nice to know.

Probably no Video as I'm doing Weathering Demos, but maybe some Photos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted March 24, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2016 Thanks for the map, Andy. At least those of us who are unfamiliar with the area can now picture where your traffic is coming from and going to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Some Pics of the T9 that arrived this morning. I've also played about with the Camera settings which seems to have improved some pics. Its now Crewed but will need some VERY LIGHT Weathering.

D70XX Hymek Red but were permitted to work over Dotted Red and most Blue routes subject to being restricted to a maximum speed of 60mph There is photographic evidence of an N class working a china clay train between Bodmin General and Bodmin Road, so that would be OK for Pencarne too. Mike, I would also emphasise your earlier comment on St Blazey - Fowey: "Red including D6xx and D8xx specially authorised". 42xx tanks were regulars on that route so obviously they had been "specially authorised". Andy, you can "specially authorise" any loco you like to run to Pencarne (although speed restrictions might apply in some cases!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
