Hi Northmoor, The two car unit with four 150 hp engines plus the trailing load gives about 3.5 hp per ton, compared to a western with 13 coaches at about 4.9 hp per ton. Better than a HST with approximately 9hp per ton were the two car BRCW 110's with 11.25 hp per ton. Gibbo. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted October 31, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 31, 2020 Note the chalk pumped out in the foreground. This would mark locactions where the drainage had failed and the ballast became waterlogged; each train passing moves it about slightly and grinds it into a paste, which would be pumped out by the weight of the train and blown along in the direction of travel. It would occur with the limestone ballast on the WR on the Gwent and Somerset Levels, and you would have to brace yourself as the loco dropped a few inches, on rougher locos bottoming out the springs. 47s and 25s were particularly prone to this. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Prism Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Mogul 6309 with a short class C train. The first vehicle is (I think) a 6-wheel Thompson BZ, followed by a what could be a couple of long Minks. Can't tell what the last vehicle is, but it has a Mk1 profile. Lots of detail at the base of the box (love the dustbin!!) I really should know the location, but I'm stumped. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
