RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted February 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2015 Presumably Dave's box is in the well of the ship? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted February 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Now abeam Brest and making 15 knots heading for the Channel one way system And just for bit of amusement a few miles astern of it is the heavylift ship which was used to bring some Freightliner Class 66s to Britain (but it's heading for Antwerp) Edited February 25, 2015 by The Stationmaster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweasel Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 ETA Southampton 8 hours. About 03.30 tomorrow morning. Any one up for an early start? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted February 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2015 Numerous variations in arrival time now being shown, Marine Traffic estimates 14.00 while Hapag Lloyd are saying 16.30 - the latter presumably being the time at which discharge will begin?

Bernard Lamb Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Dave You could install a tracking chip in the next delivery so we can all follow the voyage in real time. You could even charge a small access fee to bring in some cash. No interest for me as I have one of the original batch. Bernad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) ETA Southampton 8 hours. About 03.30 tomorrow morning. Any one up for an early start? I wonder if the anoraks will be there to watch the container off the ship - just like they do when new 66's arrive? Stewart Edit: I've just zoomed in on the pic of the ship - some scrout with aerosols has graffitied Dave's container so that it is now blue like the others!

Loconuts Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It is the Russians who we have to watch with flights over Bournemouth and Cornwall and a warship in the channel. The odds on safe arrival looks slim and there is Adrian. Loconuts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted February 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2015 Currently more or less due south of Plymouth and a bit south of west from Guernsey, making 11.7 11.6 knots so I can't see it making the original booked 02.00 arrival at So'ton But I reckon the ship must be not far past the closest it is likely to have been to KMRC's shop!!! Dave You could install a tracking chip in the next delivery so we can all follow the voyage in real time. Bernad Provided the container stays on the same ship it's easy to follow as long as you know the name of the ship and it isn't in an AIS dead area (but I'm not sure if you can get all the detail if you aren't signed up to a marine traffic website). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Accord Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 The time as shown on Marine Traffic will be the time taken from the onboard AIS signal, that itself is a manual input from onboard. I suspect she may well run up and anchor off the Nab Tower until her pilot boarding time as berth congestion in Southampton is a constant and somewhat unpredictable problem, hence why ABP want to expand into Dibden Bay.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted February 26, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 26, 2015 Currently more or less due south of Ventnor and still in the separation lane but on the northern edge of the eastbound lane so presumably getting ready to turn when westbound traffic allows. AIS still shows 14.00 ETA for Southampton and there are currently a couple of empty berths on the container terminal - if they're big enough? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catweasel Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) I'm only 1/2 hr away from Southampton. Wonder if I can collect mine from there? Save travelling to Cornwall and back. Edited February 26, 2015 by Catweasel 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted February 26, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 26, 2015 Somewhere backalong I seem to remember Dave saying he would be personally testing every single loco before sending them out. I'm not sure if these BWTs fall into that category, but if so he'd best get down to Camborne dreckly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also doing around 100 DCC decoder fittings on them too. Cheers Dave 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

autocoach Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Can you add sound to mine while you are at it please? Olivia's did the last sound BWT's for Kernow. Mine stopped working about a month out of the box. Decoder may have failed also/too. Nice paperweight now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice paperweight now. It is a right cow to fit that sound chip and get the loco to sit squarely. I still have not succeeded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les1952 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 5 days and all is quiet... Is it stuck on the M25 ? up in my loft I have a China Clay freight delayed awaiting a loco. I would say that until we hear otherwise to assume they are sitting on the dockside waiting for HM Revenue & Customs to get round to them.....

DJM Dave Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hi everyone, They are scheduled to arrive at Kernow's premises on Monday of next week at around 09.30 The delay was to enable me to get down there and check each model, as I've had a couple of meetings this week to go to. The only hold up was me, sorry. Cheers Dave 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
