David Peacock, ELR Forum;

D335

During operation last weekend it was noted that there was a problem with the segmental bearings on No.1 bogie, subject to confirmation by a more detailed inspection I suspect that the bearing liner / thrust face is damaged.

The loco is now stopped pending a lift & repairs, the loco will be winterised and sheeted over for the foreseeable future.

Very sad news.

 

Please add 37248 =D> =D> as the final visitor for the gala; joining D7629, D444, 47292, D1062.

47402 withdrawn from gala for repaint/other works.

Best Regards

 

UPDATE

Information from the ELR/wnxx/pres diesels forums;

47843 from Riviera Trains is replacing D444 at the gala due to a recent failure.

Loco rosters should be available very soon.

Best Regards

Yep, great day yesterday, thoroughly enjoyed it as always =D> =D>

A big thanks to all involved with the gala.

 

Well done to all for a very good event especially to those for getting D7076 fitted with a MD655 from D1041. A great effort to try such a thing, let alone carry it off. Brilliant.
My photos from Saturday can be seen at my fotopic site.

Cheers,

Paul
