RMweb Premium Steadfast Posted September 15, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) I've also stuck this in the prototype for everything thread, but should be of interest here too. Triple headed HST by Steadfast Fotography, on Flickr Another trio of power cars off for overhaul, power door controls and some shiny green paint, 43029 leads 43027 and 43022 away from Westerleigh Junction running as 5E23 from Laira to Doncaster. Presumably the two trailers (42087 and 42580) are in line for the power door treatment. 47815ย 'Lost Boys 68 - 88' was bringing up the rear of this ROG operated move. I reckon this will be my last photo of an FGW blue power car, 14 years after the livery first appeared. ย Jo Edited September 15, 2020 by Steadfast 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted October 23, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 23, 2020 With only 4 coaches, it has to run at reduced speed due to the reduced brake force available. 5 coaches is the minimum for full-speed running. The fact that one coach is missing is the relevant factor, on this occasion it just happens to be the conference coach. ย 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted October 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 23, 2020 Totally agree withย what you are saying rule book wise yes itโs a reduced speed because of the short formationย ย howeverย the conference car missing from the NMT formation has a different set of stand alone rules too, even if the formation is made back up to 5 vehicles with the spare coach it has to run at reduced speed due to the enhanced brake on the conference car not being available (or something like that, not driven it for over 2 years now!) 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted October 23, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 23, 2020 ISTR the mk3s having 2-stage braking whereby there's standard air braking up to a certain speed but above that, a higher brake pressure operates to allow sufficient braking at high speed. So if, for some reason the higher pressure isn't available, then max speed is reduced to 100mph I think it's something along those lines but anyone please feel free to correct me! @Bob Reid will probably know as I'm sure this sort of thing was mentioned in the context of the E-G push-pulls 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just happen to have this sat in my bedside cabinet (as you do!)ย ย Itโs a bit of a strange one as it lists the various coaches that can be worked in the NMT and it says โ975814 conference car - no notable featuresโ ย However in the train speedsย section it says โif 975814 is not in the formation then speed is restricted to below 10mph below line speedโย ย The same rule applies to 977994 Too ย i suppose it could be open to interpretation, as in, 975814 is not there hence the train is now a 4ย car formation and as keefer says open to rule book speeds however why single out the conference car when any vehicle removed would makeย it a 4 car setย resultingย in a speed reduction (10mph below line speed down to 30mph)ย ย ย ย ย ย 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steadfast Posted October 24, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 24, 2020 Those Colas power cars are on Mk2s with a mk1 Genny, not the NMT. I wonder how that affects train speeds? ย Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
