P.C.M Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hi Peter Did you take a photo of the interior of the inspection Saloon after you had painted and added the figures please? Ian Sorry Ian, I didn't. If it's any help though, I painted the walls and tables brown the floor a dark grey and the toilet and kitchen white. The backs of the chairs brown and a mix of green /Blue with a touch of black for the cushions. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post P.C.M Posted February 12, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2015 D200 has finally left the workbench. It's been a bit of a pain this one and taken ages to get finished, the roof took two goes to get right then the body would go on properly I thought it was the speaker but a wire was getting in the way. Anyway a few pics of the loco on test. Cheers Peter. 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinty ;-) Thanks Jinty, I have a few pics of the loco and had haulage on it once. The last time I saw D200 it was working between Cardiff and Crewe. I was at Severn Tunnel Jct and this guy told us D200 had been booked on the train for a few days. It was great to see the loco storming along on a service train. Cheers Peter.

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted February 13, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 13, 2015 40122 / D200 looks the badger's nadgers Peter. Nice work indeed. Not a lot has happened here since you visited as I've been getting to grips with the new job and new hours (up at 4.20am is much harder at my age than it once was) though it's going well. That small N-gauge project you saw on the workbench is starting to take shape as it has to be ready to fly home and exhibit in just eight weeks from now!

P.C.M Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Someone at Crewe decided to bring out 'The Irish Mail' headboard for a Euston- Holyhead train today. One reason for this was that D200 has been booked to work some of the Inter-City services and is on shed to work the train forward to Holyhead and a return working later on. Cheers Peter. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merfyn Jones Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I remember that replica Irish Mail headboard, made by Ron Watson Jones which appeared on a number of trains on the coast over the years. Here on the Conwy Valley Centenary train when it was carried between the Junction and Holyhead. Ron was also responsible for any class 40 that came to Penmaenmawr on a ballast, going away with a painted nameplate. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianwales Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Hi Peter I think 40122 on that train would have been unlikely given that the train is Mk2 Air Cons and 40122 is non ETH fitted! Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott B Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Not a problem, just wouldn't have been any heat. Quite a common occurrence for a 40 actually especially in summer months, where the lack of air con would have been more of an issue.

Merf, he would also have the Irish Mail headboard on a 40 in the head shunt by the up starter. Many a time a 40 would wonder down there for no apparent reason! Ps I'd have no idea you would drive them down there would you? Lol Stu 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
