What brilliant loco and fantastic wagons, the speed was just right for studying the wagons you could just imagine the engine on tickover. I think my favourite has to be those Lima MARTINI wagons. Stay safe. Cheers Grahame
I have two they both run at that speed. and Two class 29's and an old Jinty which is just as good, It's a goal of mine to try and make as many as I can run like this, cheers Rob
Hi Bob, it's a Hornby R863 from 1974, the first Diesel to have a Ring field fitted, they can be a bit hard to get on with but once you understand them, they are a dream. the collector strips are on the thick side at slow speed the free wheels can stop turning, not even started repairs yet, waiting for roofing felt. cheers Mark
Hi I'm from America but I have some OO gauge trains.....Can you tell me what the 6 pointed stars on the tank wagons mean? Is it a warning of flammability or volatility? Just curious, thanks!
The stars are for indicating the speed of the train the wagon can go in. 1 star average 35 miles per hour, 2 stars for faster goods trains. 3 stars could apparently be mixed with passenger trains though this was limited I believe, I'm guessing no explosive stuff at least. No stars was slow movement only. There is probably more to it but I think that is the basic meaning behind them.
@@RobA500 I though it was petrol quality, just goes to show how confusing the star rating was, did it also apply to other types of tanks apart from petrol, thanks Rob

Thanks Grahame, They were a gift from my pal, Tom.
That was a really nice slow run. To think some people would say these old locomotives can’t do that, this is proof they can.👍
