    Has anyone got any tips for removing the cab interior? I'm currently going through some of my locos with the intent on fitting drivers and it looks like the cab is screwed to the PCB from the top then glued to the underside of the cab roof

    Hornby sprung buffers from classes 31,56,60 would be a most welcome return. Fingers crossed

    Ah thanks for the info. I remember there was problems with D9000 during Virgin XC days. Were 33s barred from providing ETH to mk3?

    I've read in the past that Deltics can't provide ETH to mk3s

    Never knew an 87 was fitted with a Stone Faivley pantograph

    The Enterprise network was used to get anywhere from one wagon upto most I saw was I think 9 one time to Mossend and Aberdeen from Immingham and Knottingley via Doncaster Belmont. Mixed rakes of British Fuels and CPL including both unbranded variants could be seen during the late 90s to early 2000s in the Enterprise trip workings.

    I'm busy converting some into a quad set and have popped the metal frame off from underneath to reveal lots of pockets that can be filled with liquid lead, so all is not lost.

    Thanks have messaged him. Will have to do a bit of research now for liveries and markings

    OO gauge flat racks, now they sound nice. Are these scratch built op?

    Might be a good idea. I'm on another forum and the comments on there are getting used by the news groups. A similar thing happened on a forum after the Shoreham airshow crash

    The gradients in Wales are too steep for a single shed on its own. On the flat it would be ok but would take an age to get upto speed

    Good ol' reliable/hunk of junk (delete as appropriate) shed 66198 is doing the honours

    According to a local gen group it has failed and a 1Z99 is on the way to rescue

    EFE Rail? Never heard of them before. I do like the look of the clay tigers though. Better start saving my pocket money.

    60091 had it's engine shut down between Brocklesby and Melton Ross the night before. I'm surprised it was dragged dead all the way to Westerliegh and back.

    DRS Barrier Coaches

    RP82 replied to cambo74's topic in Bachmann

    You don't necessarily need any runners. You could run one or both flasks with an Regional Railways and or EWS livered inspection saloon at each end or more recently the DRS MK2 coaches.

    They look ok to me in that pic. They are in the retracted position with the buckeye raised. When the head is dropped to use the hook there is a pin on the buffer shank that is removed allowing the heads to be rotated 90 degrees and extended. AFAIK class 33, 73 and 91s also have the same type fitted.

    Maybe I'm been selfish. But nevermind all this talk of diesels, I'd rather Iike a OO gauge Euro spine wagon with the Parcel Force trailers instead please.
  19. RP82
    Yes they have been the on EWS FCA and FKA twins, privately owned British Gypsum KFAs and all varieties of GBRFs FEA twins and singles
  20. RP82
    I'm not all that interested in units but I agree with the chap above something like the Electrostar would be a good earner what with all the liveries they carry. Might I suggest on the wagon front the EWS FCA twins or FAA flats. Coal container FPA, Railtrack JNA or how about the ex TML JNA/PXA bogie box's?
  21. RP82
    It started off been diesel hauled to Dollands Moor. The Dollands Moor to Belmont yard leg went over to 92 quite a while later, I'm thinking around 2010? Oh just remembered there was for a short time Dollands Moor to Tyne yard cars that was Dyson hauled also In the 2004-08 ish timeframe

    From around 2004 onwards they started working the Mossend to Doncaster Belmont and return Enterprise trunk working. 009 made it upto Doncaster on a railtour from London sometime around 2000-2003. Apart from that I don't know of anything else.
  23. RP82
    No need to say sorry. I jumped to the assumption it was OO myself. Is it OO or N gauge the OP is working with?
  24. RP82
    Including Bachmanns and the up-to-date Hornby offerings ie the containers that come with their KFA wagons all fit
  25. RP82
    Sorry if I missed it. But are you planning on doing the roller bearing versions of the 5' 6" and 8' plate bogies with air brakes as well?
