Re above a correction. Class 47/48 is R060 numbered 1520.

Not really 'new acquisitions' but I have been fitting sound to my current loco stock and this left me with a number of non sound chips going spare. I decided to have a rummage in my old stock box and have managed to resurrect a Lima 117 DMU, Hornby 47/48 with Ringfield motor and gloss finish 1501 and a Cadbury Castle. All needed some attention to get them running, probably why they were in the box in the first place, anyway fitting modern DCC chips with bemf has given them a new lease of life. I seem to spend more time taking things apart and trying to get them working than running locos

I have been running in 'Trevone' WC today and a fine looking engine it is, purposeful and powerful. I should have a sound chip for it soon! I must stop buying more engines and stock and get the station built, it's only been 5 years!
