I would kill for a DeLorean and a flux capacitor to go back and see such sights! In the end the 8Fs and 9Fs could haul trains almost as long and more efficiently. The Garratts had their reliability problems but I'd still love to see one working hard. I dont think the cement train behind 10001 is prototypical though. Great haulage capacity in those locos though, weigh a ton, more than any other diesel I've come across!

This line was the staple of the LMS Garratts, running coal from Nottinghamshire coal fields to London.

In my hands if you want to sell. PM me. Robbie, are you going to shorten it to a prototypical C Class length?

Hornby have re-released the Lima 33 too in the last couple of years, better motor and DCC ready so could save you a couple of jobs.

10 till 6 I believe.

You could also try counting his record run (180 wagons, 3 class 20s) [video=youtube;aLTqUEgn-aw]

No problem with asking questions, but this has been discussed at length, several times, over the past couple of months. What is going over it again and dragging this thread off topic going to achieve? Not having a go, but if you're interested in it, read the previous threads.

Yes, we seem to be going over this over and over again. Can we not go down this road yet again please?

Kader industires own Bachmann as well as some other brands. The 141 was commissioned by PM for Bachmann to produce. The 071 was subsequently commissioned by PM for Kader to make directly. All Bachmann stock is made by Kader it's just PM developed closer relations with the parent company by the time the 071 was being made.

The 071s were also made by Kader so the same people who made the 141.

Nice one Dave, looks a bit rough but could be built into a nice model in the right hands.

Nice job!

About that I think, I lost count after about 60. If you check my youtube channel (link is below) there are a few other videos. I'm sure A4Mallard will post a couple new ones himself too when he finds the time too.

Brought down my replacement Hattons Garratt for a run around the other day. Enjoy!

Cheers Noel, actually meant to stick that link up for the video on the site and forgot! The Garratt rake would be prototypical in length, they tended to run very long trains. We were just having a bit of fun and testing haulage ability on the two locos though, see what they can do on big gradients. Both performed very well although the Garratt is a bit tempermental at times.

Lovely pics josefstadt, thanks for sharing. RW Carroll posts up some gems on flickr of UK and occasionally Irish stuff. I think he buys slides up from collections and EBay.

You start this thread, get the answer (or cannot wait to get the right answer) so you go and start a new thread anyway!?! http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/4110-Ebay-tread Merged into the EBay Watch thread, where it should be!

'EBay Watch' is the Ebay thread. If you see something on EBay that you want to share on the site you post it as a reply there. It keeps everything together then. There is no point in starting a new thread every time you see something different on EBay. Simples.

You cant find the thread that you have posted on before? http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/58-eBay-Watch/page60

Cheers for the well wishes lads. A year older but not much wiser sadly!

Now that does look nice. The 201 will look well when it's finished to the same spec.
