RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted February 2, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hi all, Glad the pics are of use! Way off topic, but does anyone else think there should be a 'has anyone got pics of...?' section, Ive loads of pics of random details of loco's, coaches,wagons etc, that I haven't got the time/patience/inclination to put on the web, but would be more than happy to share with anyone they might be of use to! Cheers, Phil. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 8, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) DVT?? Will it ever stop? Thanks to Si on DEMU for the link. http://www.wnxx.com/content/070213/82145.htm Looks like it's generator fitted - grille on the door and roof. (Edit: looks different to the ex W&S/Chiltern generator mod) How long before someone announces a LE? And there's another BSO released to traffic - 9516, with yet another configuration of blanked doors, different to 9523 Cheers, Mick Edited February 8, 2013 by newbryford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cairnsroadworks Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Looks good. I agree a LE can't be far away, not with that grille mind! Now get working on the grille ;-) Cheers, Andi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crompton 33 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 what will the DVT'S run with. there is talk they will be working with the class 73's once they have been fitted with a larger engine . or a few class 67's when they come off lease soon .

Pete Harvey Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Oh that may mean we will see a 67 in yellow that will be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 8, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) IIRC, the contract to provide power/drivers for the Network Rail test trains is with DBS and they use whatever traction is available/suitable - 31's/37/s etc. 67's are starting to appear a bit more on test train work, particularly if that involves anything over 90mph, such as high speed testing with Mentor. The 73 re-engining project is also a possibility for power to replace the 31's. Dunno if 67's will be painted yellow though. Then it will look like a proper builder's skip.................. It appears that the test fleet is undergoing a major changeround at the moment and it's highly likely that 2013 may see the end of 31's on them. EDIT - it seems that the DVT's will be used with 67's on the PLPRV trains of which there are planned to be four.

Roddy Angus Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hi Mick Have you ever thought of putting all your knowledge on test trains down on paper and writing a book? Whether only on the prototype, or how to model them, I am sure it would make a profit. I for one would buy it as your articles have inspired me, if only I could paint though! Thank you for your very interesting and entertaining column. Roddy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
