In Africa?

Excellent choice of loco. The 88DS is rugged and has great tractive effort, especially with the extra side ballast weights as on this one. A 400 ton load can be moved with careful driving. Please forgive me if you are already on top of the following hints, but they arise from my own experience with these locos at 2 power stations and also the GWS at Didcot. It was quite a few years ago, but these are to the best of my memory:- 1. Try and obtain/borrow/copy a Ruston handbook, as it contains just about every technical thing you need to know about the 88DS. 2. In addition to the brake air receiver, the high pressure starting air receiver will probably need insurance inspection as it is a pressure vessel, so make sure that the Wolsey donkey engine is fully working as you will need it to repressurise the starting air receiver when putting the loco back into service after the inspection. I had to remove a rusted-in and broken spark plug from the Wolsey cylinder head on one loco. 3. The start-up and shut down sequences involve keeping the gearbox accumulator pressure maintained (3 -way valve near floor in cab). Very important for smooth operation of the gearbox clutches. I briefly glimpsed a pressure gauge swinging wildly in the cab. If that was the gearbox oil pressure, I suspect the accumulator has lost its charge. 4. The piston in the air brake cylinder is sealed with a leather ring- if it perishes, air braking will be lost. It's "easy" enough to repair with new leather sheet. 5. IF the electrical system is 6 Volt (as some were) upgrading to 12 Volt is worthwhile as bulbs, etc. are better and more readily obtainable. 6. I know that it is unlikely to happen on the CVR, but Ruston recommend dropping the drive chains before towing. It is possible to tow with the engine running in top gear but declutched, and the towing loco hopefully keeps to 12 mph maximum. 7. The cab heater is useless- wear a warm jacket when shunting at night. 8. Above all- ENJOY your new loco.

@WardleRestorations

Thank you for all the tips & info, you'll be pleased to know my cab heater was replaced with a different working one and is pretty good! The electrical system is 12V so all the marker lights are bulbs or LEDs on 12v, can't remember which!
