lmsforever Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 You would not want toeat a Fray Bentos pie,bought one early this year ,not much meat and soggy pastry used to buy them some years ago when we were regular caravaners ,think a Pukka Pie is better value.Spam cams are good locos and deserve some exposure. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 DPiesels in the DGutchy new name for the layout thread?... Very clever. The loco was off Peter Clarks 'Leavesden' layout - I did have permission, I wasn't knicking it. It really got me going tho. Hopefully spams will post a couple of pics later because its 50026 'Indomitable' in the early NSE livery and black windscreen. PHHHOOORRRWWWW Cold shower required. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Gwinnett Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) At the risk of inflaming Damian still further, if he drops me a PM with his postal address, I will happily send him a set of Branchlines EM conversion wheels for the Hornby 50. (Edit: Assuming I can find them in the loft. But I think I know where they are...) (Edit 2: In case of misunderstanding - I'm not proposing any monetary reward for said wheels. The knowledge I have helped DitD in some small way would be enough) (Edit 3: Although as real pasties are hard to come by here in Scotland...)

Jon Gwinnett Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 No worries. I've only ever heard good things about the Branchlines wheels, so will be interested in how they perform. And yes, I've managed to find them. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium richierich Posted April 25, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Wasn't it late 1994, when Transrail had a demo train as an employee roadshow, think it was paired with 56 044?

There must be somewhere nearer than St Blazey to store unused class 60's? The worlds gone mad...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterbournecm Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Two class 60s were sent down about 4 years ago for storage in the shed (not the roundhouse sadly!!). They were despatched back fairly promptly though. It seems that the pits are used in the shed for examinations of CDAs, so it will be interesting to see where they will be stored. Here's hoping a mischevious Driver and Fitter can crank one up and send it out on the Naccos or bins one morning.... We wont tell anyone - honest. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium richierich Posted April 27, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) I think 60 044 (mainline blue) put a conrod through the crankcase. Not sure about 60 096 and 60 100 status? Were they just switched off with high engine hours or more terminal faults? Guess the obvious one to send for storage at St Blazey is 60 081 in GWR green Anyone got access to TOPS to find out Edited April 27, 2012 by richierich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they just switched off with high engine hours or more terminal Hi Rich, it was 78 that had the conrod issue. 096 Has about 15,500 hours, stopped 110 Crankcase, block, crankshaft and sump, 100 the same but with nearly 18,000 hours. The former was still running at the end of last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gringo Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Morning everybody, The May 2012 edition of "Steam Days" magazine informs us that the last working steam locomotives at St. Blazey shed, on 28th April 1962, were 45XX Class 2-6-2Ts, numbers 5518 and 5545. How time flies! All the best, John. Edited February 2, 2019 by Old Gringo grammar (probably still poor) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted April 28, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 28, 2012 Morning everybody (including Ian), My May edition of "Steam Days" informs me that the last working steam locomotives at St. Blazey on 28th April 1962 were 45XX Class 2-6-2Ts, 5518 and 5545. So only 50 years ago today? Hah! Some of those making great contributions to this thread weren't even a twinkle in their dad's eye at that date! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
