Hoping to get a video sorted in the next few weeks

Brand new Class 66 that I have developed. Significantly improved compared to my previous 66 file i did. A small taster video below illustrating start up, idle, change ends, horns and pull away. More detailed video to come.

available now

New sound project, a Class 25. John Gay demonstrates it in his model 24 on his layout halland. Soon to come is a new clayton class 17 and standard 4.

Hi Dave Sorry, not checked RMWeb for a while. Drop me and email via enquiries@chinnorrailway.co.uk and i'll help. Cheers Jamie

Hope that helps a little

Yep, I fully dismantled mine in order to fit with sound, flickering firebox and a stay alive

What I can't understand with ESU, is why they don't have an English version straight away given most of their sales will be outside of Germany

33 now available

Locking the toilets out of use only but not exterior doors.

All dealt with by a NR principal signalling inspector and the ORR - people far above your pay grade

2 miles of vacant track bed from Chinnor to Aston Rowant.....safe to safe, we have a small team looking into it!

We currently have 2 mainline connections, at the locations you mention. The connection at PR will never be severed as is part of the network. Some debate as to what we do with the connection at Thame Jcn.

A bit of duff info going on here. So let me put the facts down as the head of Ops for the C&PRRA. We have a very unique agreement between the ORR, NR (Ops and Signalling) and Chiltern that allow us to use the Thame Branch siding (which was retained for turnback purposes and to access the south sidings) while we set ourselves up in Risborough ie Plat 4 and then start relaying the derelict Chinnor branch that runs parallel to the Thame branch siding. It was a long process but the will and determination between all parties to get us into risborough paid off resulting us being able to run into PR. Before we run into Risborough on an operating day, we have a PIC who will liaise with Marylebone signallers to reverse the points on the thame branch into the south sidings. Our PIC then goes out and clips and scotches the point (providing Marylebone don't need the siding). one the point is secure, MYB cant signal a train into the Thame branch whilst we're using it. If NR need it back, they decline us use of the thame branch or, they phone our PIC up giving us notice when and how quick they need it back, we then have to either stay on our site at Risborough or vacate the thame branch siding pronto. MYB signal us in and out of Plat 4 by means of shunt signals. NONE of out drivers have passed any of these at red. part of the conditions of our lease is that we have to share the south sidings with the national network thus, we have to keep the line through our platform clear and some siding space free. A run round loop at PR will be finished within the next 2 months. The wheels are now in motion to start rebuilding the chinnor branch

Recently fitted an EM2 (after much cursing) to my Class 37 on my friend's layout and gave it a whirl to see how my new class 37 file sounded on an em2. The bass on it is unbelievable. Also took the opportunity to give my little 45xx a spin with my sound file on it for demo purposes. Videos below 37 45xx

To whet the appetite, The brand new 37 i have been secretly been working on quietly. The wheel slip needs tweaking. Features an automatic compressor which can be seen.

GWR 45xx is almost here! I was driving the 45xx that was being recorded.

Class 33 has been completed and kindly filmed by Richard Croft. 45xx prairie is nearly complete - need further recordings of its vac pump to finish it off. I've slowed down a little this year due to a lot of things happening at Chinnor but hoping to be able to churn some more projects out by the end of the year inc a new Class 17, 37, Heritage DMU, Std 4 as a minimum.

Thought I'd release a WIP video of my Unrebuilt Bullied light pacific I'm quietly chipping away at. Was lucky enough to record a West Country being worked very hard. Excuse the wheel sets not being coupled together, half way through replacing them and lost a screw and washer in the process As said, its WIP and not finalised.

Only if they're wired in series. Wire them in parallel and you'd be fine

Just the same as it is backwards If you go on the railway's ebay page and sent a question, it'll prompt the volunteer who manages it will relist it. I need to update the website - one of many things on the to do list unfortunately

I always remove the grill, cut a square out in order to fit a sugar cube in to enable the sound to escape, 3 08s to date that way. not a method for the faint hearted though as one slip and your loco is ruined

LMS 8F has just been completed. It has been totally redone since the first version with much better recordings and much more enhanced set up. Next in line is a 45xx prairie tank

Not via Ebay at the minute as the volunteer who manages the Ebay account has gone on a 4 week cruise. Should be back on sale within the next week or so
