I thought the 08 shunter sounded so good and made me turn away from steam to diesel.. But these are another level up.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rallymatt Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 A Valenta powered 125 at full tilt on the racing straights past Thirsk on the ECML, turbo chargers screaming a woosh of Mk3s and another Valenta moments later… a sound only to be matched by a Deltic ‘giving it the beans’ 😁 Happy days walking the dog 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave the Busker Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 It's here! Running in just now. Some minor glitches, out of the box the coupling on the non-motor loco had worked loose in transit and the coupling bar detached from the rest of the coupler, and it had a habit of derailing on bends. I've been able to sort the coupling ok and running in seems to have loosened the bogies up so it's stopped derailing. Once those were fixed, so far so good. Running well, head and tail lights are coming on fine on my DC analogue tracks. Looking forward to the coaches arriving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see others with this loco.. Did you have any trouble with the dummy car mounting screws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have any trouble with the dummy car mounting screws? Thankfully minor ones that were straightforward to fix, probably got a bit bumped around in shipping. I've not touched any of the mounting screws, as I'm running DC I've not been in to fit any decoders. Sitting watching it run around the Hollybush branchline track just now and all seems to be well 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
