  1. Hornby R8215 were known to do this as a design fault. Steer clear of them if that's fitted.
  2. They tend to be over point handles and designated walkways.
  3. Except there not in the latest one either. The Sectional Appendix is updated digitally regularly, but no change there either. We're still waiting for the restriction on our power cars to be removed.
  4. Which is strange as the current Sectional Appendix still shows 37's and 66's banned. Only 20's and 73's allowed.
  5. Drove the royal mail 128 and 114 regularly in their final years. The diagram used to alternate , 128 one night , 114 the next night. Never had tail traffic on it.
  6. It is with the deepest of regret that the Soar Valley Model Railway Club, have taken the decision with a heavy heart to cancel this years exhibition, in light of the current situation that the county is in, we would like to thank all the people that have attended in the past and all the traders layouts that have supported us over the years, we hope to see you all again next year, watch this site for further updates for next years exhibition.

  7. No, your getting confused. The earlier description is correct. The 27's were in multiple using a 27 pin cable and regulating air pipe either end of 6 mk2 coaches. These were completely replaced by the 47/7 , mk3 coaches and mk2 dbso using the Brush 2 wire tdm system via the coach lighting rch cables. They were the ones that made the interior lights flicker .
  8. To be held on the 19/20/21 June 2020. Main Event area - Quorn, between 65 and 70 layouts, plus Traders and demo stands. Advance tickets click here …. GCR MODELEVENT TICKETS
  9. RJ11 has only 4 wires. RJ12 Has 6 wires, but both use same 6pin connector.
  10. We thank you for your kind comments and glad you really enjoyed the show. We have been at this size now for 3 years and has nothing to do with the Nottingham Shows current size. We had a very good show with numbers up, bucking the trend of recent years. We would like to thank all those that came to see us, A big thank you to the exhibitors for sharing their layouts with us , and to the traders and Demo stands that supported us. See you all next year.

  16. They were hired out on purpose, not accidentally.That's why they were renumbered into the 479xx series, to easily identify the owning sector. As for communication between loco and train, temporary cables were attached running the length of the loco to train. In latter years, back to back radios were used.

  18. Both sets now pulled from service due to multiple air-con failures. 3rd set expected into service mid/late August.
  19. No, bunk area in the buffet. Therefore no bikes carried either.
  20. Both the vp's and mtu's are derated so that the maximum rpm is 1500.This is the maximum speed of the alternator. The amount of load of the auxiliaries / train supply has no bearing on the output of amps to the traction motors. These are separate windings on the alternator. Vp185 produces 2282hp at 1500rpm. Mtu in r41config for rail traction produces 2280hp at 1500rpm I believe. They both have significant more torque than the old valenta's, one of which can still be heard in the prototype power car.
