Pre-Grouping Railways Nut
And hopefully soon to be uploaded to the DLS once I've finished frowning at it some more.Johnson 1377 Class No. 1741 take the engineers train north of Ashby up the Melbourne Branch after passing Holy Well Flour Mill.
Excellent screenshots there George.
When I was sorting out the Midland 1377 Class 1F's before uploading to the DLS I tested them by running them about on the steeper bits of the S&C so I made them to do a job of work when running on the steam control set.Today's task for @KotangaGirl 's lovely repaint of the 1F was to take a 500T loco coal train from Rawdon Colliery the short trip up the line to Coalville, where it would later be taken to Derby. The performance of this little loco is rather impressive providing it's driven with care and plenty of blower before moving off.
In discussions with a member of the Midland Railway Research Group I was informed that the Johnston 1377's weren't no wimps so I took that very much to heart.
