CBSCR Beyer Peacock 0-6-0ST

The October issue of HORNBY magazine has a review of the new 00 Works 0-6-0ST in its Southern format. It will be out in its Great Southern format later this year. It looks all very nice.

One for the Bantry boys maybe?

I'm sort of tempted but I thought they were scrapped before the 2nd world war. So I may pass on that loco. And its a chunk of money for a small tank engine even if its beautifully built.

Initially I had said no but I think I will be getting one of these after all. IRM nor any other manufacturer will ever do these to be sure

The buyer re-built the loco with a two stage High level gearbox and Mashima motor because he was not satisfied with the slow running characteristics on the loco

Railway Modeller have a review in the current Rag.

I think the last was about 1943.... They never left Wesht Caaark, of course, but would possibly be a very good thing for a shunting layout; in theory, one outlier might have ended up pushing things about Cork yards, or North Wall to Inchicore, until 1960!

Maybe a model of the "Young Offenders" driving and firing it?

I'm tempted myself.

[Mike 84C]

Oh! Jhb you are so right and definately  a good thing for a shunting layout  the temptations are growing, not helped by that Georgeconna posting pictures. Thats a terrible thing to do!

I had thought..... some sort of shunting model of either Penrose Quay or Victoria Quay sidings in Cork - where it DID work - would be an amazing model!

[Old Blarney]

If you like, you can afford it, you buy it.  It is your railway. I have written this in the past - It is your railway and thus, you run that which you you wish to run on it. I have two Irish Layouts. I have LMS Locomotives and Rolling Stock - In my World these are not London Midland and Scottish - they are - Londonderry Manorhamilton and Sligo (LMS) on my railway.  South Eastern and Chatham stock - on my railway - Sligo Enniskillen and Colloney or anything else one can think of!  

Happy modelling.

Maybe I wasn't navigating it correctly, it showed the unboxing, but not the rebuild or decoder fitting as far as I could see

Re-building is covered in the August blog, https://cpineroad.blogspot.com/2020/08/00-works-class-330.html. The builder ended up replacing the chassis, motor and gears to improve the standard of low speed running!  It looks like a decoder would have to be hard wired just might fit in the tank

[DiveController]

Runs well but well beyond my skill level to do that. Shame there isn't a 'before' video with the original motion which he obviously wasn't very happy about. I thought Mashima motor were in very short supply now?
