My endeavours were further hampered by the dreaded blue acrid smoke emitting from one of the control panels just minutes before opening on Saturday morning. We found the fault and replaced the defective part and returned to full operation by 10.45! 21 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Jamie Thanks Jamie, We all enjoyed the weekend at Pickering. There were many appreciative comments from the visitors. We had to react quickly when a cdu burnt out just 10 minutes before opening...but I don't think anyone noticed. We purchased a replacement unit from a trader and were soon back to full operation. I like the photoof thelayout taken from a light aircraft by the look of it! Cheers Duncan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan. Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Hi everyone,we have just arrived home from Wigan Show, where Shirebrook was on display next to Dallam. A special thank you must be recorded to Simon fron Dallam who very kindly lent me a transformer after one of ours burnt out during set up which jeopardised the appearance of Shirebrook at the show. Also I have to thank the operating team, Jonathan, Robert, Harry, Norman and Andy for doing a wonderful job under less than perfect circumstances. It was great to meet some of the correspondents that contribute to this thread. Cheers Duncan 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted October 2, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Good to chat today. I’m glad I’ve seen it for real: it’s as good as it looks on here if not better. Was impressed to see a full MGR rake propelled back onto the branch. Paul. Edited October 2, 2022 by 5BarVT 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_C Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Some images of this weekends Wigan MRE excursion. A real pleasure, as always, to present the layout with Duncan and the other helpers.

Padishar Creel Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 It was an honour to be part of the Shirebrook Team, to be allowed to operate such a fantastic layout, and to meet up with the people behind the team pic ftom Pickering. I had a great time over the two days getting to know you all, and being able re-kindle the friendship with Janet and Duncan after x-zillion years apart Tired but happy es grüßt ganz herzlich pc 5 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
87023Velocity Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Hi Duncan and the Shirebrook team, It was great to finally see Shirebrook in the flesh at Wigan last weekend and glad my transformer helped. It is a stunning layout and hopefully next time I see it I will have more time to watch (Dallam keeping me busy!). Cheers Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowlander Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I've just watched a video on YouTube of the Wigan show. Shirebrook looked excellent with a nice variety of rolling stock. I appreciated the haa sitting in the sidings after being over loaded. Attention to detail like that, is what sets Shirebrook apart in my eyes. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have obtained replacement high output cdus and a higher rated 100va transformer. I have not yet found a fault as such so the transformer melt down remains a mystery. We had a great weekend on Shirebrook and the public were unaware of the power failure and limited operation we offered. My thanks go to the Shirebrook operating team who worked their socks off to provide a near to normal service as possible. Cheers Duncan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel I should point out the HAA cripple is there not for being overloaded but failing to unload cemetery, one set of the discharge doors failed to open! I'm not sure if some very old 7 planks, painted in 'Shirebrook " livery also appeared in the same video. These are Mathieson unpainted wagons and at 1st glance completely out of the timeperiod modelled. I have a back story for these wagons... Once upon a time.... The story goes along the lines that Shirebrook Colliery supplies coal to the Midland Railway Centre at Butterley. These wagons have been fitted with vacuum brakes and run to Butterley only.

Duncan. Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Hi, You will probably realise reading posts above that we had operating issues at Wigan. I have been replacing various electrical parts on the model, a transformer and cdu's. The new transformer, large square one has been installed in the power box. And here are a couple of shots from the layout while at Wigan I had little time for photos after the burn out, it was a very stressful weekend for me. Cheers Duncan 8 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
