lyneux Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Are those renders or painted samples Alex? Either way, they look superb! Thanks too for the plug for Showcase.

Popular Post RBE Posted July 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) The first run of our eagerly awaited class 56 at DEMU showcase. The locomotive was put through it's paces by Mike Buick of the fantastic Oak Road. Stress testing included a very long MoD train and a typical rake of 20 Redland PGA hoppers which it handled without incident. The 20 wagon hopper train was treated to Mikes self admitted problem crossovers both hauling and propelling the rake. Despite every wagon on the train having kinematic couplers it passed over the trackwork with zero incident both fast and slow in both directions. We are more than pleased so far.

cairnsroadworks Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Really impressed with these so far. I was on hand to film it with the redland hoppers. Just needs a sound chip now! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted July 25, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) Based on the pre production samples this really is going to take standards to the next level, cannot wait to get my hands on mine. The cantrail grills in particular are stunning Edited July 25, 2022 by The Fatadder 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) That loco actually had a sound chip in but it was a generic German diesel as we don't have the correct files to test yet. Yes we are chuffed to bits with how those grilles came out, amazing what can be achieved when you encourage the factory to push their processes.

Administrators Phil Parker Posted July 26, 2022 Administrators Share Posted July 26, 2022 OK, it's basically the same as the video above, but I'm experimenting with the 'phone and didn't think anyone would mind a second look at this loco in action. We're going to have to carry out an @AY Modstyle brick haulage test with this one when it appears for review. This little train of hoppers wasn't taxing it at all! 11 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see what it's capacity is for sure, however as long as it pulls what the prototype would in OO then we'll still be good I think! 😀 10 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I'd be interested to compare this against the already very capable Hornby 56 for haulage ..... Then against the Hattons 66 and A/S 55. Al. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Grimleygrid Posted July 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2022 Well I have to say that was quite a weekend. To see our first locomotive turn its wheels for the very first time on Saturday morning was an incredible sight and the feeling that accompanied this was something that I will never forget. A milestone reached. To say that we are excited about this project is an understatement! Here is another clip of the Romanian example on some of our BBA wagons in EWS livery. Our thanks to Mike Buick for allowing us to run our loco on his superb Oak Road layout. 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
