Brian Harrap Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 I think a monorail or Wuppertalbahn tribute would be the logical conclusion to all of Brian's work, particularly if he can make the vehicle traffic run in the streets below! (DCCar or 1:87 RC?) Hang on - I'm not hanging up my track gauges yet. B 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's keen so you should get a good job. Saw the pictured ensemble on glory heading up the A30 couple days ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Harrap Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 When I added the Ball Signal to QUAI:87 :- I knew it to be something of an Americanism but went ahead anyway thinking/hoping they must have used similar devices in Europe. Imagine my delight when I found this (ok its a replica or reconstruction) in the Vienna Technical museum. Just the comfort I needed. What the fellow who decided to put the nice blue lighting under the loco thought he was doing I have no idea. B 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Corbs Posted February 7, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Good evening Baron and subjects. This caught my eye - dual overhead wires, with one of them offset, and showing the locomotive switching from one to the other while working an ore train in a large opencast mine in Utah. In case the link starts at the beginning, the bit with the locomotive is at 13m 49s. Once the train is loaded, it shows the offset pantograph retracting and folding away after the main one makes contact, all on the move. https://youtu.be/LXq0bVz2XpY?t=13m49s Edited February 7, 2017 by Corbs 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted February 8, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2017 Thanks,excellent! A superb film. Now those pans are a modelling challenge! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Harrap Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Thank you Corbs for posting that bit featuring the panto change over. I crawled over a similar loco thus equipped and was somewhat amazed to find that the side pantos where raised and lowered by a piece of string (cord) fed through the cab side. The Utah mine (quarry) shown suggests to me the modelling possibility featuring a complete hole in the ground rather than the usual 'one face' approach often seen modelled. Maybe next time, when I've got enough space to put a hole in. Regards, B. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
