Bodmin Bob Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 2 Hornby (OR Lima?) HST Power Coaches, cabs cut off, surggically joined! The "Guards" rear window becomes the drivers window I suppose! Clever! (Yes, I know that the Guard would be upset by the noise from the Paxman Valenta engine, so he was moved into a modified MK3 coach..... ) I think the guard might also be upset with the fact that with a Paxman engine at each end - where would he actually store the parcels and how will he get them in or out?

Ahh. I was talking about the Real HST Power Cars....the Guards accomodation in the Power Cars was replaced by a Guards Compartment in one ofthe MK3 Trailer Coaches, C1980 onwards. The "model" in the listing would go rather fast I reckon! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RFS Posted February 22, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Someone's definitely having a giraffe.... Looks like his test run made things rather worse!

BG John Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Probably as it's O gauge and the description says "I have tested this on 2 meters of Peco code 75 track". It's easy to convert Peco OO track to O gauge. Maybe the seller has been reading my Cheapside Yard layout topic! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffnut Thorston Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 didn't know that Triang had done a weathered tender like that- what happened to the cab side numbers and tender emblem? There WAS a Tri-ang Railways Factory Weathered "Deeley" 0-6-0 Tender Loco. It was a "one-off" for the "Old Smokey" Train Set. (Loco, Tender, Short BR Mk1 in Blood & Custard, as used in starter sets, and another One-Off, the SR Luggage Van with lightish green body, Bright Red doors, and a white roof....) All the ones I have seen are not as weathered as this one... the crests and numers were still there!....though it seems that the loco was home-painted to match the tender? The loco has also lost a set of cab steps... By the safety valves, the loco is from around 1961... I would say that the tender is an original one, the weathering is sprayed like the ones I have seen. The crests have gone, and the coal, including spillage, is NOT original Margate! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
