The mod is not software based, it is all physical hardware added on. In each cab there are some new resistors connected to the encoder board, connected/disconnected via a new relay under the power controller. To ensure it's only active when in multi there is an existing relay utilised, TNR I...

12:14 off Crewe? Sounds like it could have possibly been LSL’s 43049.

Apparently a £1000 bid has been recieved. I have a feeling this has only been said because of everyone saying the reserve is too high. I can't see it going for more than a few hundred..

Feel free to email me [email protected] I'll try my best to answer any 86/87/90 related questions.

Yes the heat light should have a H on it.

The line, fault and train heat lights are incandescent 15w bulbs. They all have glass diffusers. The line light and train heat lights are white, and the fault light is red. The parking brake switch is sprung to the centre. You need to hold it in either ‘on’ or ‘off’ and wait for the hatched...

Buying rolling stock based on the paint-job rather than mechanical condition sounds about right.

I will send you the same spreadsheet that hexagon789 sent me. Hopefully they don't mind!

They are only rumours about 90s displacing the 86 fleet. The fact Freightliner are planning mods such as rebuilt cab desks and are refurbishing the bogies under the whole fleet suggests otherwise. There is simply no need to replace them.

Hello Does anyone have the original design drawings for the 86/87 version of the livery? Thanks, James

Thank you very much for the information, it certainly answers my question! If you could message me with that spreadsheet it would be excellent, that way I can built up an accurate set. I have a P5 coaching stock book from 2003 somewhere and a rough knowledge of all the different Mk3a types.

Hi all, I am currently working on doing a detailed VTWC Mk3 set in 00 gauge, I've been doing a little research and devised this order of coach lettering, would anyone be able to confirm it is correct? I'm not 100% sure which was the TSD (disabled coach). I'm setting it in around 2000-2002. B...

From my experience, many Merseyrail units often contain a suspicious amount of sand, especially during summer months...

I'd imagine it's to stop 'train surfers' who attempt to hang onto the outside of the train while it's moving.

I have no idea?

'The size of the window does affect speed, this is why the Shinkansen has aeroplane style windows.' I have nothing to say.

You'll probably jump on this example as another way to accuse me of liking things depending on age, but Mk3s have very effective aircon and are virtually silent. I'm yet to find a train with smaller passenger windows than the pendolino. 140mph tilting? Yeah that happened didn't it. :lol...

There's a reason the virgin logo is cut out...

Because I listed what I felt is wrong with Pendolinos, therefore I am against modernisation and would rather travel around in dated trains? How does that work?

Lol, who doesn't know about his virgin trains obsession? :lol:
