    But a lovely railway moment Brian... how many of us werent excited when a driver deigned to speak to us....? Now they get excited when I let them drive on Abbotswood - retired Saltley man had a go at Cotswold show last weekend. I rather like that! Phil

    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 Phil

    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 Phil

    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 Phil

    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 Phil

    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 Phil

    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! Phil
  23. Phil Bullock
    Many thanks John - thats clear to me Kind regards Phil

    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 Phil

    Sorry! Let us know how it goes..... Phil
