sometimes one, often two, rarely three.

Its a nuclear waste movement so has two locos in case one of them fails on the mainline. Its then no danger if the other loco can then move the consist forward.

@@nobbytart27 yes, progress eh. I do like the 68's and for a modern loco i would imagine they are popular with drivers. Miss the old girls though.

Yes me to, my office is about 100 metres from the rail head and you could hear that low rumble well before you could see them, always a pleasure seeing them coming in.

Nice that they named a loco after him.

@SteveSmithRailways I agree. It's nice to know that DRS has no plans in the near future to replace the nameplate and that when it does inevitably happen eventually, the nameplate will be preserved.

@@christhompson2126 no, these are from the good ol days

There are no 3D printed parts here. This bridge is all laser cut from our ModelBord and MDF for the walkway.

@@SteveSmithRailways Good to know as I have a Laser & those materials as well. Both would seem to be the future of modeling.

No, its only the premium O gauge kit. The OO will be a standard kit.

You look different in your thumbnail, mate 😂 Great looking kit, I'm guessing you'll not be rushing it out in N gauge for a while?

@JAMESDEMU-RailwayModeller shes much nicer...lol. in answer to your question.... correct, I wont be..lol

Sounds like here, cold damp and misearble...thanks for watching

@@antman09ful1 only a brief film. 1st time there. Nice line but this was heaving and I'm not a lover of packed places. The GBRF depot tour on the other hand was a pleasure to visit. Cheers Steve

@@ModelRailwayShed thank you..very very busy

@@thomasshepard6030 might have been on these workings then.

Well, thank you kind Sir

@@fedelerinaldi6720 I dont use 3mm and not ply either. All brickwork is done using MDF and thickness depends on which scale I'm working with. Sounds like you are scoring too deep, hence with all the mortar lines, its weakened the ply.

@@SteveSmithRailways thanks Steve, I'll try MDF and score less deep. Does MDF warp?

@@fedelerinaldi6720 depends where its stored, how it's used, how its protected. I've never had any issues with buildings I've made . They've all been primed, painted and no bare MDF shows

@@SteveSmithRailways what thickness MDF do you use? do you get it online or B&Q ;) thanks

@@fedelerinaldi6720 depends on what I'm making. I use 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm and 6mm, none purchased at DIY places.

Read the title mate...its how to make it.

I draw everything in CorelDraw and then export it to the laser cutter.

No idea....I use Coreldraw and Job Control software with the Trotec laser cutter. Never used LightBurn.

Nice one

Thanks John. Made both the OO and O and enjoyed it.

Thanks

Should be on the web site on Thursday evening.

Not huge amounts....it's what's in them is the reason for two locomotives. They have two incase one of them fails and therefore allowing the consist to continue and not be stranded on a main line. Spent nuclear rods isn't sumut you'd want hanging around!

Lol. If you're not a rail enthusiast and a class 37 fan then watching this video is pointless. It'll only appeal to those. Thanks for commenting though.

There aren't many better sounds than the 37.

(I am likely repeating this...) When working in my 'first step up the ladder' as the Area Technical Officer at Colchester Area Assistant Civil Engineer's Office (behind the car-park building on the Down side), in the early 1970s the Norwich - Liverpool St trains were chiefly handled by 37s. The later 47s did not sound impressive... The 37s were REALLY opened-up so as to hit the foot of the climb through Stanway and on towards Marks Tey. (Orrhhh, where was me tape-recorder???)

Just a quick question, we are about the same age, would these locomotives have worked passenger traffic from Cambridge to Norwich in the sixties or were they worked by class 40's ?

totally agree

Every now and again I would imagine but certainly not regular as they were workhorses and most probably only went back to the depot for routine work and if lucky, they got a wash!

Thank you

It's actually got a path in the network every day Mon - Fri and can run any day. Back then, it did seem to run very often on a Wednesday, which was handy as that was my day off. Nowadays it runs whenever and can run more than once a week. Unfortunately, I dont get chance to go down anymore.

There are still some going strong after all these years on the mainline but they dont do this job anymore

There is always 2 locos incase 1 should fail as its moving nuclear waste.... not something you would want stranded on a main line. The consist can be either a single wagon twin or triple. On this occasion is was two.

try it and see.....it might be your last cuppa!

Lol

Yeh, they often do that to make sure the blade has fully gone over

And I have no idea why it was this one that has gone mad! I used to go down most weeks back then

Same here lol

Same here 😊

Yet again, same here.

plenty of security whilst its in the holding area.

Thank you

Back then, we used to have a few drivers who didn't like the enthusiasts on the station, so pulled away slowly. This day was not the case.

See reply from same question answered below

Its Nuclear. No breakdown risks aloud
