Latest Arrivals

I had received on Friday (20/03/2015) the Coronation class locomotive "City of Coventry" in the BR maroon livery with the late crest. Which I have not tested out, as I was waiting on my order of Kato unitrack to arrive, which happened today (24/03/2015). Andfinally I did test run the locomotive on Thursday (02/04/2015), which ran well and looks good with Maroon coaches.

Video footage of the locomotive going backwards as the last part of the burn in.

And just for fun, a video of  the locomotive pushing a HST standard class coach with a DVT in front.

Plus I have received some volumes of a series of books about steam depots in various BR Regions - the series is called "BR Steam Motive Power Depots" by Paul Bolger. The regions I have are:

• North Eastern Region
• Western Region
• London Midland Region (second hand)

And now I am in search of books about the diesel traction motive depots (TMDs). These books should help me plan the maintenance facility for the heritage railway depot located at the main terminus.

I have received on Wednesday (01/04/2015) another Arduino UNO, which will be replacing my microduino as the train controller.
