Andrew P Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 In order to do the Running Session yesterday we first removed 3 rakes of Trains. A few more pics from yesterday to go with the 2 Videos above. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted February 11, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11, 2018 Is that the DCC Sound fitted version of 47001? You’ll be pleased to know it has the correct tanks fitted - Bachmann replaced them on those not already sold when they were informed. Not sure about the braking on the nearer train in the last photo. You appear to have a mix of vacuum and air braked vans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted February 11, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2018 Hi Andy. The videos are great mate and I'm loving the 31. You don't see very many 31's on layout here on RM web. Regards Lez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Train with mixed Braking, earlier in the Videos you may have seen it with some open Steel and Planked Wagons at the rear with a Brake Van, and my mate John said they were to old so they were removed, at the time of the Video I was running with a Brake Van, but I see it's been removed now in that pic. That's a job for next time I go into the Shed. Cheers. Edited February 11, 2018 by Andrew P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Lez, I would like another 31, as I like the Look and Sound (SWD), but there are so many around with duff Chassis. Before I bought that one, I phoned Hornby and gave them the Model and Running No, and they confirmed that that one would be O.K. but I notice now that one corner has a crack in the body, and half of one Buffer cowling has come lose, so has had to be glued back on. Shame as I do like them as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andrew I have discussed Mr P's trains with him in the past and hopefully when he is feeling up to it I will nip over to his and we will sort him and his trains out. At the same time make a little video explaining the basic principles. Mr P despite now limiting himself to blue engines is still covering a large time period where at the start there were still unfitted trains, to almost an airbrake only system. So lots to cover.

Cheers Clive, I am trying, hahha. I have decided that due to a SERIOUS LACK OF STORAGE, I will run as either, early 80's or late 80's adding or removing stock as appropriate, i.e, early for Western and Warship, Milk Tanks and Clay Hoods, and Later for Large Logo / Post 85 / 6. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers George, I've had a couple of visitors, but I do restrict them to half an hour now. John and Jeff came around last Saturday for an hour and a bit, and TBH it was to much and although I was just sitting on the Stool and talking, I felt exhausted afterwards. I was told when I was in Hospital that there's a lot of Muscle and Tissue damage and I'm waiting to see the Surgeon again in a couple of weeks, and hopefully there will be no more Surgery or treatment required, and I can be signed off as o.k for another few years, and plague you all with my ramblings on here. I hope to get to the Nottingham Show with my friend Big John, but at the moment I will see how I feel nearer the time. Nothing else to report on here or Penybont Sidings unfortunately, I have jobs to do on both Layouts, and I have the bits I need to complete them, but they will have to wait until I'm a lot stronger than I am at the moment, and feel that I can actually do something worthwhile in TOPS. In the meantime I've done some more painting, just sitting on my in the Conservatory. Click on image to enlarge.

Funnily enough we drove past there a few hours ago from a day out on the Llangollen Railway. Edited February 17, 2018 by tender Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
