2301 Class Dean Goods first impressions
So what have I been
doing? My new locomotive arrive the other day from Hatton’s a Class 2301 Dean
Goods 0-6-0 2409 in BR Black with early emblem DCC Sound fitted. It’s a very
tidy loco detail is good my only reservation is the moulded coal load which is
easily rectified. I’ve tidied up the retaining wall on Arlesworth station which
was slightly damaged. That’s really all I’ve up too. Oh you tube “pulled” my
videos because I had music playing in the office and I could be heard on the
video.
2409 Dean Goods 0-6-0 has had a little tweak of the CV’s only loco
ID and deceleration. For some reason which I have eventually established the
leading driving wheels left the track on the first curve out of Arlesworth just
behind “Arkwright’s open all hours” shop.
Filming
the derailment fro two different angles I realised that the track bed is
twisted. As you can see in the video the leading driving wheels on the right hand
side are off the track so the flanged are no longer in contact with the running
rail hence the derailment.
I have
ordered more track and will rip up the offending section and relay it.
