Thanks. The trains made enough noise without my help. Sometime silence is the best policy.

great video, thank you

What a great vintage model railway.

Thanks. The amusing thing is that by definition the operator is vintage as well.

Im glad someone asked about the repaints. I especially like that 4mt, as they are my favourite 3 rail loco and would love to do some in custom livery as a break from all the black ones. 😂 I do have 1 or 2 with wrenn bodies. Id love to see a video on the custom liveried ones you have.

The feedback on the 4MT has prompted me to make a video on it and its companions. There is one on BR green done by the same fellow who did the blue one. He also repainted a beaten up Duchess of Monstrose in blue. Unfortunately I've lost touch with him. The video should be out in the next month or so. I've often looked at Wrenn bodies and I imagine that is where I will go next when I have a spare chassis LMS crimson would be a natural choice given the origins of the design. I have a beaten up 4MT sitting on my workbench right now and I'm wondering about maker's grey.

Great running session! I have so many questions too! Are the liveries on that BR Black Castle and BR Blue Standard 4 your custom work? They look spectacular!

They were done for me by a guy in Melbourne who has subsequently dropped from sight. They were both in very poor condition so no great loss if painted. I often buy with that in mind. The blue Class 20 I bought as is. There is a BR green 4MT floating around as well. I should make a video on them.

@@thedublorailway3803 I have an old City Class boiler that is very much well worn but a spectacular candidate for repainting. I plan on doing my own project on it in the future.

Maybe at the next running session we ought to measure the decibels.

Is that three rail OO? I didnt think anyone but three tail O used that.

@thedublorailway3803

Entirely three rail, with the capacity to run two rail or three rail on one circuit. OO used to be pretty much all three rail. This system went out of production in the early 1960's but had its origins in the 1930's.

@@thedublorailway3803 Interesting, I guess they did the center power feed for the same reason Lionel did, made reversing loops easier ( now why Lionel used AC is another story). So I guess with this the middle and one of the outer rails was positive and the other outer rail was negative? Could the three rail run on 2 rail via a selector switch, or were they wired only for 3 rail? Just curious, MTH produced 3 rail O engines that could run on 2 rail O as well.
