All you're missing is the pilot man hanging from the cab It's a pity they weren't used like this more often. I've always preferred the look of the 121 running bonnet first. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

226 Abhann na Suire Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I think it was a bit of a visibility issue for drivers apparently… would’ve been a similar story driving steam engines not too long before that though so I’m not exactly sure myself either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dempsey Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 I'm open to correction but I believe barracks Street would have been one of the very few places it happened up into the 90s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dempsey Posted Saturday at 17:10 Author Share Posted Saturday at 17:10 Brief update but since my last I've been 1. Enjoying running trains and 2. Testing all the track work, points and wiring. A few gremlins popped up that had to be trouble shot. One point motor is bust so I'll have to replace it unfortunately. One of the wired switches will only throw the point one way so I'll need to double check that. I changed over all the points from soldered wires and installed tortoise connectors which have made troubleshooting alot easier as you can quickly disconnect a point from power. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
