More Load testing

After another successful 009 society meeting running longer than normal trains, engine ratings have been revised and updated. Plus some pictures this time of some of the trains.

EoM:- 10
DLG:- 10
Rhur:- 9
Conway Castle:- 7
Mountaineer:- 6
Ciccirth Castle:- 6
Harlech Castle:- 6
Palmerston - 5
Blanche:- 5
Linda:- 4

Despite Linda not being able to pull B set in its current 5 coach form, B set is most likely going to be the visiting coach set due to its shorter lenght making it easier to fit into runround loops. Alternatively, 123 can be moved from set B to set C as it has run in real life in both sets to form a more standard 6 coach train which most of my fleet can manage easily. I never got round to trying Palmerston with 6 but I was pleasently surprised that it would pull 5, just not in reverse as the coupling fell out.

I've also got a shot of the NG15 project. I'm hoping to have two of these in both South African and WHR conditions.

 

Hopefully they'll both be finished in January ready for some serious running on the society test track with some 12 coach trains.

Cheers,

Jon
