A couple of things...

Headcode discs, top one is upside down, the one under the assistant side  if its in that position would show the lens.

Windscreen wipers would be crome silver at that time.

Otherwise looks good. 👍

What about 31450, drove that loads of times.

Soar Valley MRC will be attending with their  42ft  'O' gauge layout Charnwood Forest Railway. Looking forward to running it again.

Led's much prefer a regulated power supply, so don't rule that out before sending back.

Free Bus ..Can confirm Stand B2, service 101.

Rail services at Sheff returning to normal slowly.

Shuttle bus direct to venue.

The original '33's were delivered without tail lights .

There were 2 white marker lights and the headcode .

The headcodes either end could show 2 red blinds to act as a tail light .Don't know if the few mainline registered examples which run today are different. 

The two lower marker lights were actually built with a red lens that would cover the marker lights. There is a small knob next to each one that moved the lens over the light.

A fair amount were removed or painted over.

Old Scotty has now arrived at Shildon.

There until 7th Jan.

Not come across a Bachmann Dmu that has switchable interior lights off a separate function. 

Their either permanently on fed from the track or switched via F0 with the markers.

Is there provision for a front coupling if one wants to operate a train from the rear cab?

The cab controls were never wired up in the van end.

So shunting only from the forward cab.

Basic servo controller I have used a couple from this company. You can set the limit of travel and I believe 7 different speed settings. 

Would recommend them.

The service I used to work Leicester  to Derby was booked for one to travel with it but they were not always so due to staff shortages. A cushy/ steady number for those involved.

Is this not the engine room warning horn prior to the engine starting, common on all large emd fitted loco's ?.

I think you'll find it's so and therefore you won't be able to stop it as it's part of the engine start sequence.

To skip the sequence you could apply notch 1, then the switch sound on.
