DJH Crab 42778 on a short feight

Postby barrowroad » Thu May 20, 2021 9:47 am

Two short videos for the benefit of David Clarke and Morgan Gilbert.
The Crab is sound fitted and formerly belonged to David whilst the wagons all belong to Morgan who has built many of them over lockdown He asked me to give them a test run on Barrow Road.
This video gives a decent view of the fiddleyard.

The slight stutter of the loco towards the end of the second video is noted. Track dirty!

Excellent, the Crab is running well, it only ran once in 10 years with me! It’s found the ideal home on Barrow Rd. Nice wagons from Morgan, just needs a lot more!

Excellent, Robin. Nice to see further scenic progress - I particularly like the playground swings. Brings back childhood memories, although you couldn't watch trains from the swings in Alexandra Park in Oldham.
Quite a few bodiless chassis on shed. More conversions on the way or kit builds?
Dave.

Hi Dave, the three chassis belong to the 4f's I am building. Morgan has the bodies at the moment for painting - see details on my previous post.
