With the electricals on Cwmcarno progressing well its time to test more running on the layout. Here we manage to get two trains running at the same time.
The workman’s train seen above needs some passengers. From the internet we have this bargain collection of vivid figures – how many Michael Portillos can you count?
After a bit of attention from Luke they now are more subdued.
The train itself is a nice model from Dapol of Mainline and City stock. It really should be closer coupled. The magnetic couplers purchased to help were nice but really intended for coaches with corridor connections. So using the same idea some mini-magnets were put into the Dapol-supplied couplings to do the job.
