    IIRC I have heard it described as duck egg blue Phil

    Hee hee - but for an offer like that I would pay postage .....and any other costs!!!!! Phil

    Now Mr Mortimore.... I originally had 2 LH ferrets but changed one .... but d*mned if I can now find the evidence that made me do it..... Pesky things ferrets.... And yes a litany of issues with D326 .... Winson Green run away, Chester collision.... Phil

    Cheers Dave I suspect that is something we all did - Abbotswood itself was a difficult location to spot at when things hammered past at 70 mph! Phil

    Hi Dave Its another numbering conundrum!!! That Brush type 4 in J608 has fixed 3 part radiator grilles, looks like a Stones boiler and seems to be VB only - as built D1819 was serck rad grilles and dual brakes, no boiler D1619 as built fits the above profile and was a WCML loco April 66- Feb 67 - what do you think? Phil

    You are right Neil it is pale! https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=type+4+D326&biw=1143&bih=608&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj_6-bzwYHSAhWiCMAKHbKOAPIQ_AUIBigB#imgrc=4GZR7hqVL_CF7M: Isnt that a cracking photo? Have tried what you suggested but difficult to get a sliver that thin from an existing larger transfer Now if there was some lining somewhere of the right colour and thickness.... Phil

    More progress tonight - D326 coming along nicely Just needs final weathering, crew, headcodes and coupling loops Western Lines Ws are a bit OTT...and anyone got a suggestion on how to get the fine blue line under the number that denoted modified traction motors? Zambesi still waiting for improved underframe brown to be sussed - spray gun maestro Jimbo says manana.... Phil

    She sounds perfect for a trundle out to Titley John - or New Radnor perhaps Phil

    So the grille is for the train heating boiler and the access cut out are the fuelling valves IIRC There ought to be an easy way to tell A end from B end - but d*mned if I know what it is! Cant find any pictures of D800-2 with either the vent or the cut out - and other low numbered class members may have been built without but had them added retrospectively Phil

    Interesting photo! 1971 - 72 wtt has 1A01 as 20.30 Worcester - Padd parcels but it plainly isn't that train - it was booked via Oxford so wouldn't have collected the ex works catering vehicles from Swindon. Train reporting numbers must have changed.... Phil

    And that moniker was always a favourite in our games of railway engine name hangman at school... Phil

    Cheers Bob We had it working - but then I updated the ECoS firmware and that killed it - until today when I twigged the legacy PC setting requirement. A very kind friend gave me an IPhone 3 that was surplus to requirements so now with a 4 man crew we should be able to roster 1 driver for up trains, one for down trains, a bobby and a yard man Should result in slick operation hopefully Phil

    So productive weekend - All locos and stock exams done Signals inspected and repaired as required Iphones linked to ECoS And Jimbo has got D838 ready to join the roster, D1584 not far behind, D326 and D864 may just make it..... Cable testing still to do but all coming together well Phil
  15. Phil Bullock
    Ah cracked it.... Had put ECoS in to PC legacy mode but not restarted .... and that fixed it Cheers Phil

    Hi folks Want to use Touchcab but having some issues interfacing with ECoS Edit - sorry should have said ECoS 50200 firmware 4.1.4 Symptoms are: 1. Latched functions wont switch off once switched on 2. Throttle on ECoS responds to Touchcab but display on Touchcab does not ! 3. Loco direction of travel will not reverse on touchcab Am I missing something? Thanks in advance Phil

    I don't use anything other than my own name as forum user names so as the first male Bullock child of the next generation my forum name was determined on 26th April 1942 http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/2042593/BULLOCK,%20PHILIP%20HAROLD Stirling W7506 on charge with 218 squadron - 6 aircraft headed to Pilsen that night, this was the only loss Linked to the recent film Anthropoid if you follow military history Cheers Phil

    Ah that's a shame Neil... You'll have to bring her along another time Phil

    A one day show to kick the year off - Newbury on 11th Feb Taking a 4 man crew - Pierre and Downendian of this parish plus old school colleague Digby Wall Hoping to have Iphones working so should be some slick operations - and new power on show, D1733, D118 and D854 Tiger plus one or two more.... Phil

    Dave Your comments on linesiding in this era are just so true! But wasn't it the joy of not knowing what would turn up that made the trips such an adventure? For me its things like... Warships at New Street and Bescot - oh and a Clayton and Baby Deltic at Bescot too, even if they were scrappers A pair of D65xx at New Street too....D4 at Stourbridge....D200 at Worcester...Kings Cross with Deltics....the list goes on Happy days! Only wish I had your photo record Phil

    Indeed - but need to save.....rake of 8 (a 5 and 3 set) is going to cost more than I paid for the Blue Pullman.... Phil

    Cheers Clive ! And yep bolts would be needed..... Phil
  24. Phil Bullock
    Many thanks! Alternative is to buy the departmentals and redo the transfers..... Think I need one of each then to explore..... Phil
  25. Phil Bullock
    Is that regent logo on a separate plaque? Need to remove from ones I buy as were debranded by my era.... Phil
