Thumper 205205 for sale

Hi 34007 I'm only on about the fan drive assembly unit and not the complete power unit (engine). I'm not sure what you mean about the sound of the exhaust. Maybe you could elaborate on what you mean about the sound I don’t understand

 

If you get up close i'm sure it can be heard?! Although it probably needs an experts on both Locomotive Units to tell us???

 

Thanks 34007

 

Network Rail's Sandite/Deicing DEMU No 930301 (which has two ex class 205 motor coaches) is currently at St Leonards Depot and Hastings Diesels also own a class 205 DTS (currently at the Lavender Line) so I expect they do have spares for Hampshire units down there.

All,

Whats the problem?

Complete fan clutch shoes as per the original part are available from
the Eden Valley Railway for £100 each plus carriage & VAT.

I think the Dartmoor railway had a local Foundary produce quite a few fan clutches aswell, i'll make enquires.
Every DEMU in preservation has suffered through those fan clutches. Why not change the design?

 

The Lavender line as I understand it are not planning to do anything to their unit! It always stayed outside the shed with the plan to move it on! And that is a friend whom has worked down there and told me as such from the management!!!
So I think they can get a great bargain from the Lavender line as far as this is concerned!!!

 

Quite right, we've never held spares for DEMU's. You may be lucky with Selhurst as they were indeed their last maintenance location. All our spares are for 455 & 458 (if we're lucky enough to have what we need in stock).

 

I do try not to be a spelling and grammar pedant, but is it really necessary to end every sentence with an exclamation mark?

 

Apologies for bumping this thread back up, but is the unit still for sale?

Craig

 

Yes

 

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Sorry, couldn't help myself...)

How many packs of razor blades would a Thumper make?

 

Now, just out of interest (for now at least), could anyone PM me to advise what sort of price such a unit would be up for? As i say juts interested for now but that could change....

Craig

 

Do Thumpers have any of that nasty insulating material that we don't like to talk about? :-k

 

I have PMed Craig - anyone else who might be interested, please PM me.

No idea but they have lots of windows, door hinges and door handles/catches that make them a bit of a C&W headache.

 

Because Portapotty disposed of them in comparatively recent years, I'd be surprised if they'd been allowed to pass into the hands of preservationists with any of that insulating material still present. It was quite a few years ago that various Class 26s, etc, had to be all-but ripped apart to remove it, before being allowed to pass into the hands of preservationists.

 

Thanks Steve and the others who PM'd me. Cogs now dangerously turning....
