The Crompton (Pringleton Model Railway - Episode 10)

Welcome back to the Pringleton Model Railway, a 00 gauge layout in a double garage!
It's our season finale, and this time we're taking a close look at our super-tasty Class 33 - aka The Crompton. We take an old Lima model and give it a new lease of life with a DCC conversion, a new motor, directional lighting and several other treats.
We also welcome back Jack Wright who, amongst other things, gives us an insight into the real life Crompton.
Join us for another look around the wonderful little world of Pringleton Model Railway ... and please don't forget to like, comment and subscribe!
Thank you for all your support through our first season ... Pringleton Model Railway returns in September 2024 👍🚂

Excellent upgrade. Those lights look fantastic! Happy Modelling

[@PringletonModelRailway]

Thanks for your kind comment - I am certainly pleased with those lights. Now just to do the same to all the other locos! All ye best 👍🚂

A very enjoyable series. Thanks for taking the time to share your journey and your layout. I think the class 33 has the longest and most detailed history of any loco class on Wikipedia! I've never owned one, but as I'm a GWR/BR(W) fan, I'll have to acquire one soon... Nice upgrades to your example. I have several Lima class 37s, so will try the replacement wheels, as the originals really are dirt magnets.

Thanks for your kind comment Stephen. I can comfortably say that changing the old Lima wheels is the single best upgrade I did on that loco, so thoroughly recommended for your class 37s. I'm glad you enjoyed the series and hope you'll tune in again for the next installment in September. Thanks again 👍🚂

Hi Darryl Great work on the Compton a vast improvement and looks very good pulling the Mk2s. Hope you enjoyed the curry 🍛. Enjoy the summer break. Cheers Kev

[@PringletonModelRailway]

Thanks for your kind comment Kev. Yes, I was rather pleased with the end result on the Crompton. And the curry was good - five star review for Pringleton Spice 😂. Have a good summer yourself too and thanks again 👍🚂

Seeing as you are using DCC Concepts LED’s if you have the chance to attend one of their Open weekends at Settle have a look at their Soldering course. It is both an eye opener and instructional.. plenty of tips and advice to be had. Thank you for your channel it is very good and well presented.

[@PringletonModelRailway]

Thanks for your kind comment Peter. A soldering course would certainly be good and I have yet to visit Settle. A trip to plan methinks 😁 ... thank you again and all good wishes 👍🚂
