AberdeenBill Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 This is barely on tpoic, but anyway... Can somebody please explain the sequence of these two pictures.... http://www.railphotoprints.co.uk/index/detail/6011/6326-Exeter-150571-RPCDM100.jpg.html http://www.railphotoprints.co.uk/index/detail/6010/6326-Exeter-150571-RPCDM099.jpg.html I guess that they're in order. 6326 comes off Exeter shed onto the up main, but it's blocked by the Warship (831?), which seems to have overrun the home signals. How does 6326 then make its way back onto the platform road?? (I'm sure I'm missing simething...) Meanwhile, 809 was presumably hidden in the headshunt in the first view and is moving forward in the second view... Thanks, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Endacott Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 831 is standing at the shunt signals on the main. I suspect that it was in front of 6326 on shed and has been moved out of the way to allow the 22 to escape. There is room in front of 831 for 6326 to set back into the platform road. Perhaps 809 is being moved to allow 831 back on shed behind it. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted September 15, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 15, 2011 As 809 is in virtually the same place as 6326 was in the upper link it was either in the headshunt or back on the shed when the upper picture of 6326 was taken and is making a move either before or after 6326 was doing whatever it happened to be doing on the entrance to the depot. I am inclined to the view that in the upper linked pic 6326 is heading on shed (i.e towards the camera) and is being driven from the wrong end - hence the head out of the window looking towards the camera. But it then becomes very difficult to relate this picture to the lower one where 6326 is at the west end of the Up Main platform. I think that it is probably going to shed and that 831 standing on the Up Main at discs 12/13/14 is going to setback (i.e away from the camera) to make headroom for it to cross to the shed - unless 831 does move there's clearly no way that 6326 will be able to get far enough for the road to be reset as 831 is up close to 12/13/14 disc and can clearly be seen to be very close to the cover over 26A FPL (and 26 would be locked by Track Circuit AE although it might, for some reason, have the lever standing normal). So I wonder if what has actually happened is that 831 and 6326 have setback separately along the Up Main and in the lower picture both are still moving away from the camera while 809 is totally separately doing its own thing. In between the taking of the lower picture and the taking of the upper picture both locos have moved clear of 33 points and 12/13/14 discs and the road has been reset towards the shed and 6326 is seen in the upper picture moving towards the shed while 831 has moved towards the discs ready for them to be cleared for whatever it is going to do next. As part of this conclusion I see that 6326 is obviously being driven from the west end in both pictures which suggests the most important thing in the Driver's mind was to keep clear of 831 once both locos were in rear of 12/13/14 discs. If the Type 2 had been heading towards the Up Main platform in order to head east I would have expected the Driver to be at the east end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixie Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) This is certainly good new Dave - I look forward to grabbing an example! Please don't forget to throw it into the shrink ray at somepoint too. Pix Edited September 15, 2011 by Pixie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D605Eagle Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Just took the plunge and ordered one from The Signal Box. It will be interesting to see how it lookes against my 3 Silverfox ones and 1 A1 class Hornby 29 conversion. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapolDave Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hi everyone, a quick update on progress of this model. I have received Deco samples here at Dapol towers, and there are a few elementary mistakes that need correcting, which should be done this week before full production takes place. These include the wrong grey roof colour, missing overhead warning panels, and correcting the colour of the lower body side 'cheat line'. Once i have these changes done i will post pictures of the finished approved model for all to see. cheers Dave 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Endacott Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Why can't they get the liveries right? I thought Bachmann were bad enough when half of the Warships were wrong. Dapol seem to be aiming for 100% wrong! Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
