RMweb Premium Barry O Posted January 20, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 20, 2021 Mick, Romford wheel nut was loose.. these are a very old set of Romfords. It had a mitsumi motor and high level gear box fitted in lockdown 1. Looks like it can pull most trains on the layout.... Moral of the story.. check your wheelnuts!

The number of times I have had to retake video after watching it afterwards. One thing worth mentioning is that there is a change of gradient as trains pass Barry's camera. Approaching that spot, they're climbing at something between 1-in-75 and 1-in-90, round a 180 degree curve. As they pass that spot, it levels out (highest point of the circuit). So some sort of acceleration, without adjusting the controls, is inevitable. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofty.ian Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Loved the videos. They illustrate the advantage of being able to run long treight trains, something I can't do on my end to end. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently videoed one of my layouts but couldnt have nay trains stopping at the station as I was holding the camera. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted January 23, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 23, 2021 I might build a few more of those. I have the Kenline strapping castings, buffers and axleboxes, some plasticard and Ratio signal ladder et voila! I seem to remember getting a cup for one of them at our show in Leeds many moons ago. If you park them on the cattle dock siding on Chapel people refer to them as "Large coal wagons(!)" Baz 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz Any chance of a couple of 'still' pictures of the wagons please, Barry, as I'm afraid that my tablet doesn't play the videos (nor anybody else's ftm) very well so I don't tend to bother with them after the first couple.... I hear the train coming.....then see the middle portion of the train...and might just catch the end of a brake van if I'm lucky ! Thanks in advance, Regards, Ian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted January 23, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 23, 2021 will get some tomorrow.. they can be very elusive! And the LMS built them in two different heights for the same load.. ie Soda Ash. They did have a trapaulin rail so I need to make new ones of those.

They are different as one is an older version of the wagon (note the brake systems are different) I need to fix the tarpaulin rail bars and refit the Tarpaulin bars. (and then I noticed one of the two is actually... compensated!) This is the fixed chassis ..weren't Kenline castings wonderful?
