Hee hee

D6767 is green am sure - any suggestion of blue is probably due to film emulsion, never seen a blue SYP 37 or blue with that BR logo am afraid.... That's inviting someone to find one isn't it!
I bet the 3M30 double header is the Heaton - Red Bank (Manchester) vans - IIRC double heading not rare on that train

Hi Peter
Its a bit of a faff isn't it but you should be ok with a flat bladed screw driver - it doesn't take much load to rotate the motor, just be careful not to damage the slots the pins on the cardan engage in

To me they seem very highly geared !
However once well run in and a Loksound chip installed this hasn't caused any problems - pick ups are a problem however, the arrangement as installed is nowhere near good enough for a DCC sound installation so wiper pick ups fitted - an easy job
All 3 of ours performed well at the Cotswold show at the weekend

Andi Dell also pointed out at the weekend that a bit of float in the centre axle of the Co wheels helps - makes sense, makes the loco less prone to derailments - just extend the centre axle slot upwards slightly with a few strokes of a 3mm round file
Solved derailments with Pierre's D211 so shall be doing likewise with D200

Cotswold show this coming weekend.
Starting to get sorted - all known faults from GETS sorted, a loose wire and a couple of displaced tortoises addressed
New power in the form of D163 LADY - not the original Bacchy version, our own redo with the correct shaped panel on her GSYP livery
Cheers

Oh the irony of the tie in the first round of the FA cup.Coventry home to Northampton. Lol.
Well, Coventry have avoided last years nemesis - Worcester City! We are away to Sheffield United. What odds another 32 penalty shoot out?

Mr & Mrs Downendian were kind enough to add to the Abbotswood 21 ton hopper train on the occasion of my 60th back in August - most generous and unexpected!
After some work with the weathering washes and rust is now ready to go to The Cotswold Show on 31st Oct/1st Nov
Many thanks Neil & Sharon - hope you approve!

Welcome - glad you are sorted
What you think are brake pipes are in fact the linkages from the central brake cross shaft - actuates the brakes when brakes are applied.
There must have been something else in the rigging that reversed the action as one pair of shoes has to be pulled and the other pushed for them to clasp the wheel .
Kind regards

Ignorance is not bliss. I might have known I'd be caught out.
Thank you for the correction Phil & Rob. Now to find out how super Superglue is.Sorry! Let us know how it goes.....

Fitted the fiddly brake rigging on my blue and green ones last night
First weathering wash too....and thanks to Bachmann for giving us blackened wheels, that's one less job to do...
Phil
Looking at post 109 above I think the brake rigging is below the axle ....isn't it?
Heres mine fitted...

OOOh - with the van standing on its wheels the rigging is below the axle on mine - means that the actuating rod aligns and can also be glued to the rigging
Assumed that was right but am I wrong?

Assume you mean the Hornby Van C?
That is a brake van with a guards compartment - the CCT/PMV are traffic vehicles only
The Hornby website is rather confusing with parcels vehicles - bogie brakes appear as coaching stock whereas 4 wheeled stock such as the LNER CCT appear as freight stock. Surely both are NPCCS - Non Passenger Carrying Coaching Stock
Kind regards
