- In this video we see steam and diesel traction at work on a variety of traffic. Newly outshopped Brush Type 2 A1A-A1A, later Class 31, is in charge of a mixed freight working alongside a 9F also with a mixed freight. A 'Brit' coupled with BR1D tender (70048 The Territorial Army 1908-1958) heads an express comprising of LMS and BR stock while a 4F finds employment on a short engineer's train.
Who remembers the Tri-ang 'Freightmaster' set of the 1960s which was advertised as "Heavy duty diesel with seven trucks!"..?
Thank you for watching.
Freightmaster set was one of the best train sets ever created.
Hi, The Tri-ang 'Freightmaster' was quite something in its day, coming as it did when the most anyone could expect was a paltry three or four wagons or two or three coaches in a set. Many thanks for your contribution!
Yes, I totally agree. Such a classic set.
As always, such a lovely running session.
Have a great week. 👍
Thank you for your support and comments. You too have a great week.
good steam/diesel running session
Thank you, much appreciated!👍
As always a wonderful mix of Locos and trains, thankyou.
I must say though the 9f looks almost perfect in its filthy state. I love it.
Hi, Many thanks again for your support and observations. The 9F was a Hornby 'weathered' version to which I added a top layer of weathering powders. It's dead easy!

@@crewelocoman5b161 Graeme - always enjoyable - so busy too! - Colin. 🙂
A Good mixed Running session you have filmed!!! 😉🚂🚂🚂
Hi, Thank you for your comments and observations. Much appreciated!
The best train I love best is the steam hauled 8 car passenger train!
That's fine, I'm delighted you like the passenger train and most people would agree with your preference.Thank you for your comment🙂
Great running session and a really nice layout. Your backscenes work really well. The weathering on the 9F looks great, and the maintenance train looks good. Is that a Tri-ang 0-4-0 ex Polly/Nellie conversation in the yard. It looks great. Thank you for sharing, most enjoyable.
Hi,Thank you kind sir for your comments, observations and interest. I'm delighted you enjoyed the session and yes, it is a Tri-ang 'Nellie/Polly' rebranded as a private owner Municipal Gas and Tar works shunter with appropriately branded wagons in place!
Many thanks,
Graeme
Another entertaining running session,thank you Graeme. I especially like the long freights! What is the rough size of your layout? I'm interested to see what I could achieve in size when I start building my layout.
Hi Lynden, the layout size is a little under 18ft x 8ft. Delighted you enjoyed the session. Thank you as always.
Graeme.
@@crewelocoman5b161 That's a good size layout especially to get a good rake of wagons or coaches!
Looking forward to your next video! Take care.

The clackety-clack of the coach bogies is very realistic, have you laid the track with scale length joints to achieve this?
Hi, Thank you for your observation. The answer is no. There has been some movement since I laid the track down twelve years ago and all my rolling stock has metal wheels highlighting the sound.
