Just these this week:

Very nice.  Love the Ford containers too. Reminds me of what I used to see around the dagenham ford plant when going past.

@gavin_t

I have that set, it's lovely.

Just to be aware that some of the new tool 47s have issues with hesitant running due to miss-aligned pickups.

Not too major but be something to be aware of.

Of course, you may not have any issues at all (my loco from this set was fine, but my 47/7 in later NSE had the issue).

Enjoy!

Thanks for the heads up. Which pick ups is it? The bogie contacts? Seemed to run fine on the shop test track but will keep an eye on it.
Going to finish painting my NSE themed station today then it should look good running by with my NSE dmu etc

@gavin_t yeah very very impressed. If the weekend goes well she will have some proper track to run on as well!!!

Our monster layout I had a thought about running 2 timeframes too allow me to run NSE stock, and am really tempted to buy that capital connect set, even if it's just to keep!!!

Luckily I've spent a fortune in the last 4 weeks so I cant yet but maybe 1 day before they disappear!!!

stay safe!!!!

Gavin. Google farish 47 capital connect pick ups  , there are information on rmweb and Bachmann, farish have useful info. Take it the set has a BSO, TSO and RMB ?

I currently have 6 pallet vans and have just ordered 4 more. There are 2 single Ford containers but I have a few more in my container fleet to swap around a bit to make a Ford rake. Then of course there is the mk3 Cortina transporter train:

Anyone stocking them john ?

If you mean the pallet vans then I've just bought the last 4 from Hattons. TMC and a few others have them on ebay so I'm sure a few others will have them.

[guest311]

if anyone needs any, got a pile of Ford Pallet vans surplus. PM me if you need a few






got a bit carried away 

[crewearpley40]

Ah ok still look good john.

Wow, that is a lot of Cortinas!  You must have cleared Oxford Diecast out. 

Kind regards

Yes that is the stock that is included. Was thinking if I could get one a first class coach in br blue would add a bit of variety to the rake.
Just unboxed the loco to run it in and it doesn't seem to want to play ball  assume it must be the pickup issue mentioned.

Ask Ken at dutfield what he has in terms of a mk2s tiie a and gavin. If only 2nd class buy one, you can always paint or add transfer to convert. What is wrong with the loco ? Maybe put a post in train surgery re pickups on class 47 with a photo. Ntpntp ntp maybe the man to ask , bob at brlines adam @Skyline2uk  did mention earlier. Use search tool class 47 pickups there was a thread dating to 28.12.15 by sparky

Ref the 47 have a look at the relevant thread under reviews on the forum.

From memory the solution needs the body off and pickups to be gently bent to make contact with all the wheels. Also, make sure all wheels are clean and the track that it is running on.
