just wondering will there be any stock on the dorset coast Cd????

I should certainly imagine so.

cool cheers
this route is the best route that could have been made as i used to sit on brockenhurst station watching the trains go by when we went on holiday and we are going there this year

how about some exclusive items perhaps a nice 33 and 4 tc combo perhaps

I would like to see a 4 REP as they were used on the Waterloo - Bournemouth section of the route, also would make a useful activity.

Shunt move at Bournemouth where the REPS came off and the 33 coupled on to the TC

Alot of the time the 33 was sandwiched between the 4TC and rep.

i really cant wait for this route to come out on cd
but next week i will be at the real brockenhurst
one question though is the moveable gangway on platform 1 included in the route?

How would that happen then ?

And in real Days(Going back 30 years i,m old) when i was doing Haulage in the 70,s a 33/1 came on at Bournemouth and Pulled the
4TC To Weymouth And then Pushed to Bournemouth if my Brain is thinking Right

The 4-REP only worked Between London and Bournemouth Push/Pulling the 4TC

Must see if i can dig out my old Haulage books

You can control a 33 through the cab of a slamdoor. Also, the reason REPs only went to Bournemouth was as that was as far as electrification had gone at the time (maybe to Branksome for Bournemouth Depot).

One possible way to do this would be to have the train arriving at Bomo for the 4REP to uncouple at the rear and then drop your 33/1 to the fornt 4TC

From memory the REPS were always at the London end so a northbound would have the REP waiting in the platform for the TC to couple up to on arrival and the 33/1 detached to run back ready for its next turn

The boat trains would arrive with a 73 and detach for the 33/1 to carry on forward

Hope this helps

Cheers

I can't see why you'd have the 33+TC set running in reverse formation so that it would have to couple up to the REP. Perhaps very occasionally some daft move like that would be needed...

Though there was a fabulous move available ages ago where a 33/1+4TC+4VEP would run from Waterloo - Basingstoke and split for Salisbury and Soton. That would shift it quite rapidly, I imagine...

The 4TC where all Rebuilds of mk1 loco Hauled stock (i didnt know that you Lean somethink new every day)
