Patrick Davey Posted October 21, 2024 Author Posted October 21, 2024 Just arrived at Clogherhead, all the way from New Zealand, courtesy of John @Mayner Another exquisite brake van - thanks John! 13 Quote
Patrick Davey Posted October 30, 2024 Author Posted October 30, 2024 The recent arrival from New Zealand of the JM Design 20 ton CIÉ brake van inspired me to put together a new video for my YouTube channel, looking at the changes in CIÉ freight working from the 1950s into the 1960s - many thanks to John @Mayner for this cracking model! The Hatton’s Genesis coaches make a brief appearance too! 5 Quote
Patrick Davey Posted February 22 Author Posted February 22 (edited) Yummidy-yum yum yum Very excited to return home to these magnificent models!! They look amazing and have a very decent weight, and I will definitely make use of the cardboard boxes included in the packaging!! Hope to get a run with them tomorrow (the vans, not the boxes, before some wannabe comedian chips in). Great job IRM!! A host of Hs - my two Provincial Wagons H vans from @leslie10646 have been added to the IRM rake! The PW vans carry my first attempts at weathering, not sure how successful that was, so it makes the others look like they are just out of the factory….. Edited February 22 by Patrick Davey 12 Quote

Patrick Davey Posted 7 hours ago Author Posted 7 hours ago So the new BUT railcar has been on trials at Clogherhead. The livery looks very much at home for sure. It runs well, less so at slow speeds, but it really doesn't like the ancient double slip at the station throat. And it's very quiet too - totally drowned out by the seagulls.

Mol_PMB Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Very nice! Have you checked the back-to-backs on the wheelsets? Looks like that might be the problem? Quote

Mol_PMB Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago 1 hour ago, Patrick Davey said: Wouldn't have a notion about that! There can be quite surprising variation in the gauge of wheelsets supplied by model manufacturers. If they are a bit too close together on the axle, they get trapped across the checkrails of turnouts and crossings, and ride up. If they are a bit too far apart, the checkrail can't do its job properly and the opposite wheel flange can ride up on the crossing nose. The bumpy running over the double slip that your video shows, suggests that the wheelsets aren't set quite right. The gauge illustrated by @Galteemore is what you need to adjust the wheels a fraction so they will run smoothly. 1 Quote
