My Brake Vans with Guards Equipped (they’re so cute!)

Black-tac isn't permanent - you'll still be able to remove the crew should you need to.

I thought I should come back to this post to show my newest crew instalment. This time; a driver at both ends of my new Class 28!






I put a driver at both ends so it can be driven in both directions. If someone ask: the driver in the rear is a guard (I remember reading guards would be placed in the end of twin cab locos if there was no brake van).

Nice One.

You'll also need a secondman in each cab - they were still in use until after the class 28s were withdrawn. Their job was to assist the driver - operating the train-heating boiler and double checking signals being their most important jobs after brewing up (although the hot-plate in the 28 was in the main body of the loco rather than in the cab like most locos).

The secondmen were in the model but were both making a brew at the time of the loco being 'spotted'
