Derekstuart Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Don't rise to the bait. Don't rise to the bait. Don't rise to the bait. Anyway Voyagers aren't so bad, try one on the WCML, by golly they can shift and rather nice in the first class. Oh fork it- rise to the bait... voyagers exist for ONE purpose and ONE purpose ONLY. To give European Metal Recyclers something to look forward to in 2036. Oh and I suppose a second one- for most heritage railways to get a couple- and still paint them in lined maroon...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 19, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hi. Tonight I have a couple of photo's. The first one shows a class 108 set leaving Beverley station going down the line to Bridlington. It is a formation of two two car sets in May, 1986. Then follows a photo on board a class 108 approaching Beverley from Bridlington on Easter Saturday, 1987. The driver is applying the vacuum brake. With regards, Rob. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adanapress Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I'm building a three car Class 101 set, sort of. By chopping Hornby's R157 bodies to get to scale length. . ( My family motto is bodge-Ho!) Purists look away now! Now getting near to painting time. Does any supplier do an early DMU Green as a spray can?? as i cannot afford proper kit. Thank you for any info. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastwestdivide Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) A DMU lash-up was de rigeur for certain go-anywhere railtours. Here, the Bevercotes Collier, with a 101 + Trans-Pennine 124 combination, three shots at Bevercotes Colliery itself, and another at an unknown location (anyone help? might be somewhere in the Barnsley/Wakefield area). Seem to recall that we stopped for an hour or so at some junction when the driver realised he didn't have route knowledge, and another had to be called out. Must have been some rare track if the driver didn't know it...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 20, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 20, 2016 Hi. Tonight it is a journey back to 25th, July, 1984. We are stood on the footbridge at Beverley, near to Flemingate L.C. There is a train leaving Beverley to Hull composed of a class 105 Cravens, DTSL + DMBS. and a class 114 Derby Heavyweight. I think the DMBS is the front car of the class 114. Please note that the Cravens DMBS has received the modified exhaust pipes - you can tell since they are not routed up through the guards van. Best regards, Rob. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
