RMweb Gold Apapa Posted May 8, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 8, 2022 Hi Charlie, Will the seats in this run be bus style only? I think that may have been the stance initially. Cheers, Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium cessna152towser Posted May 14, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 14, 2022 The full size 142 020 is being repainted into Tyne and Wear livery. Seen here running at an open day at Whitrope Heritage Centre last Saturday. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJC92 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Looking very much foward to one of these. Will start saving now and soon pre order a GM Orange 142. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJC92 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Came across this quite recently and interesting to note that a model of 142084 is being produced, albeit in its later condition in life. Never had the chance to hear a 142 with the TL11 and SCG gearbox. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie The current ratings in the race too the finishing line on our Class 142 Pacer models, as of 31st May are: 1st: Northern Livery 2nd: Provincial 3rd: Skipper (Chocolate & Cream) 4th: GMPTE Orange This looks a bit worrying as the numbers on all units are limited !! PPS Both Northern Units have the later roof style. Charlie 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincolnshiremodeller Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 On 09/04/2022 at 17:54, Dave-5-5-7 said: I'm actually in Grimsby, we had them fairly frequently on the Sheffield - Cleethorpes via Brigg line. I still remember the screeching noises from the sharp bend at Fish Dock Road. I think Cleethorpes got a bit of variety. GMPTE made it over I believe. My Layout is set in 1991 at Saltfleet/Mablethorpe, on an idea that the East Lincs line survived. Incidentally, when did they change the doors? 142s were regular performers on the Joint Line from Doncaster to Lincoln and Sleaford in the late 80s. I don't remember them going further south or East than Sleaford. Our school train home regularly used to be a Neville Hill 142. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 90s when I used to frequent Gainsborough Lea Road we have 150/156s on Doncaster to Peterborough and 141/144 on Sheffield to Lincoln. Unfortunately no one has done the 141.

surfsup Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Possibly a Provincial, but a Double Donkey yes to the First North Western / and or FGW Livery! (I can easily repaint those doors and grab handles if needs be!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

james-htfc Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Yes to any of the yellow livered 142s! An idea for the First Great Western 142 – Could this be in the original FNW livery. This then gives people the option to update to FGW (or Northern, or debranded...). I figured painting pink doors on is better than trying to repaint to match the bodyside blue. If there's commonality with the ATW livery and the Arriva Trains Northern livery, it'd be great to get a version for post-2000 northern region modellers as well 😀 Northern Spirit would be number one for me!

The Black Hat Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I can see me getting several 142 units for the periods I am running. Id be going for; Tyne and Wear livery Regional Railways standard livery Northern Midnight blue livery with lower numbers Chocolate and Cream with 2 leaf doors Provincial with 2 leaf doors Perhaps not for me but the Grey/White/Red GMPTE (which was to be Network North West livery) would also be a good selling choice I think. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had the chance to hear a 142 with the TL11 and SCG gearbox. Thanks for this, you just settled a dispute I had with someone for 20 odd years… I said for ages, the driving style of a 142 was the same as driving a Heritage DMU when introduced… gradual inputs, followed by step changing gears and revving… exactly as this…. Since the changes, the style of engine reviving followed that of Sprinters.. high revs to build speed with a continued engagement of pace until full speed i knew I wasnt imagining it.. 141’s were the same. compare it to this to see what i mean..

RMweb Gold nigb55009 Posted August 9, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 9, 2022 I seem to remember 142084 being fitted with a Gardner engine at some point. It was tried as a poosible replacement for the TL11, before the adoption of the Cummins engine. I`m not sure of the dates though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
