I get bored easily! __________________________________________ ??? posted on Sat Aug 29, 2009 11:53 am Freight Update 2 Just lightly weathered up my new Dapol spine wagons (10 in total) and put them straight to work. I've read some mixed reports about these flats. But in my opinion (and I'm no rivet counter), on-the-whole I think they look really great. Yes, the ones I've recieved do very, very slightly bow at either end, but hardly noticable. Just waiting for a couple of Megafrets to join them now http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_thumbsup2.gif 001.JPG Low emission 66952 hauls the 4M21 10 31 Maybank down to Kings Road empty flats.

I always remember consists coming through Lincoln behind a 60. My uni friends always wondered if they were actually carrying tea! http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif Only thing that lets the wagons down for me is the huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge gap between them! If you run them in a fixed rate, you may want to look at the N Brass close couplers. I have a rake of TEA's behind a 60 (60012 in fake LNER Garter Blue waiting for names plates) and use Unimate short shanks in mine. Closed the gap up nicely. I replaced the rapido at one with a short shank vesion I had in my bits box (dunno where it came from) and a short NEM one in the 60 (other end of the 60 has the detailing pack in it) sorted that gap too while still allowing things like my old 47 to haul the rake. I like the Unimates for fixed rakes as they are a twist in/twist out with the Rapidos and allow for reversal should you desire it. __________________________________________ ??? posted on Fri Oct 09, 2009 2:06 pm The Central 156's have arrived at Whitminster depot and put straight to work!! http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_clap.gif 007.jpg 156429 on 2F09 0926 Blackbrook - Radley Jnc stopper. (68.4 KiB) The main diagram which brings the 156's through Foxfield is NT602, Blackbrook - Riverside/Radley Jnc (via Salford Bridge) stoppers. This diagram works in conjunction with NT301 and NT806 (153+158 combo). 156dia1.jpg Diagram NT602. (114.02 KiB) The 156's are also used on the Salford Bridge - Hobbs Cross/Wellingham Ludgate Hill route and substituted on the Maybank - Hammerwich route. 156dia2.jpg Diagram NT601. (48.44 KiB) NT601 seems only a short diagram, but uses the unit all day!! 001.JPG 156429 on the return 2F12 1020 Radley Jnc - Blackbrook stopper. (87 KiB) 014.jpg Again 156429 on 2F13 1226 Blackbrook - Radley Jnc stopper. (63.91 KiB) I must congratulate Dapol on a lovely little model. It runs great and really looks the part. Just helped along by a little gentle weathering. I know i keep mentioning the Working Timetable I've devised for the Maybank - Hammerwich route. Been having a few problems in transfering it onto my webspace http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_frustrated.gif .I'm not realy into the web design stuff. If anyone's interested in viewing it I can always e-mail out. An easier option I think! __________________________________________ View the full article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
