RMweb Gold Dagworth Posted April 11, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 11, 2018 Anyhow Mr Cloggydog, you can't run AM9s under 1500 v DC. Maybe not, but you can under 6.25kV AC, and that was apparently with 1500V DC insulators Andi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted April 11, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 11, 2018 Anyhow Mr Cloggydog, you can't run AM9s under 1500 v DC. You could if you stuck a steam loco on the front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 We really are a helpful bunch, aren’t we? Well if Clive did more running of trains and inserting pictures of such movement in the thread then perhaps there would be less interruptions from the back of the class. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 11, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 11, 2018 Well if Clive did more running of trains and inserting pictures of such movement in the thread then perhaps there would be less interruptions from the back of the class. How do we know they are actually moving? He could simply have plonked them there for his and our delectation.... What we really need is video evidence...... Although I would half expect that to be in the form of Super8, failing that V2000 or Betamax. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since it’s from the back of the class, that’s maybe too much to ask for, let alone expect... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going back to my idea of a couple of months ago. Goldington, that well known joint GWR and NER station just outside Bedford. All steam pre grouping. It would look great, the two principal expresses arriving at the same time being hauled by "The Great Bear" and a Raven Pacific. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted April 12, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 12, 2018 You just want to buy the Barclay Kettle for the power station. Oh how the mighty fall..... I have a kit one to build. I brought it before Hattons announced their's. I had a good chat to the Hattons geezer who was behind the Barclays and my disappointment about not doing one of Goldington's. Buy one I nearly broke one, a real one. There's me 16 years old trainee engineer doing my bit on the coal stack, mills, etc They let me watch the railway operation. I got a ride on the loco. Next shunt the crew told me to open the regulator and off we went........the 16 ton mineral was getting bigger and bigger. I asked how do you stop it, the blighters said they didn't know, sheer panic set in. Still seems strange when I go to me mum's look out of my bedroom window and it ain't there any more. Never mind where I live now we have a wind farm I can stare at from my bedroom window. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
