RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted August 17, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 17, 2014 Is there a way I can turn the smell check off..... Don't change it, I've only just got used to translating your posts back to English in my head when I read them. Are you posting from a PC or tablet/phone. If PC, which browser?

RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted August 17, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 17, 2014 Popped over to Butterley for a few miles of 25, 31 and 45 haulage today; all in the name of BCB research. Conclusion? I should make the sound chips louder. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I should make the sound chips louder. Had a bit of Sulzer superpower on the Saturday evening last year with 108 and 133; the last time I'd been in the cab of a Peak was going up Lickey but it was still a good consolation. Six very dirty TEAs now on the bench. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crack and Poo.jpg I've seen the TEA's tonight that Andy has been applying the cack and poo to. Fantastic, and to think they used to have an orange stripe.

RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted August 19, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 19, 2014 Fantastic, and to think they used to have an orange stripe. When we bought them I was a bit surprised by the orange stripe as it wasn't visible in the few photos I found from our era. Not sure if it was a later addition or if the tanks were so filthy that the stripe was completely covered. Sounds like Andy has done a good job of representing this!

Andy Y Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Yes; possibly the cackiest wagons I've done. Notwithstanding the discussions about different tank ends which may mean a future re-visit I think we can improve on capturing the weld seams. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted August 19, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 19, 2014 I think that arches transfers/decals do a welded seam sheet, or it might be a firm that I think Ozzy O may have turned up. SS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, aren't they 0 gauge holes though, might be a bit big? I needed to get some EM ones as I only had P4 in stock. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted August 25, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 25, 2014 As you might already know, we use Alex Jackson couplings at either end of each rake and (unless the working is due to drop off or collect wagons in the exchange sidings) 3 links within the rake. This makes uncoupling/coupling locos and brake vans in the fiddle yards much easier than fiddling around with 3 links. A recent addition to the stock roster is the Tunnel Cement Presflos, which Damian has put together for our (fictitious) 7G59 Tring - Bloomfield working. These needed two converter wagons with an AJ coupling at one end and 3 link at the other, plus another with an AJ to carry the tail lamp. The underside of a Presflo doesn't leave much room for fitting an AJ in the conventional manner so I've used pivot mounts with a spring the make up a coupling unit which fits between the wheels and is mostly hidden once installed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
