on my layout the last train to run was a bachfar class 37 in blue (37 254) with 8 coaches (2 pullmans and 6 maroon mk1s, all old poole farish)

Mine was a class 37,number 37238 and a class 55 deltic number 55002 KOYLI.
Both were bought over a week ago.The 37 was bought as discontinued stock from a well known shop and the deltic was bought at a show our model railway club exhibited at in Sheffield last saturday.Unfortunately,both required a small amount of surgery.
The 37 only had lights working in one direction so needed its lighting contacts to be adjusted so they made contact with the body contacts and the deltic was found to have one split gear and a lot of oil removed from its mechanism,most likely to try and mask the split gear.
I removed the bogie,which is no mean feat considering I didn't know how to do it at first,the bogie frame was removed next allowing access to the wheel that had the split gear.I took it out,set it running to check it was ok,removed the faulty gear from its axle and replaced the wheels within the bogie.I then tried for the next half hour to reposition the bogie but due to the driveshaft being such apain to line up I had a bit of a fight with it.I'm glad to say,I.nw have a deltic with one less driven axle but it runs as sweet as a nut.

Its my train set and I'll run worra want!

The 1515 arrival from Dortmund hauled by a 218 diesel - the only proper (i.e., non-push-pull) loco hauled train of the day on the branch. 7 minutes late, points failure at Surbiton (it's complicated).
Two rails good. Three better.

On my main layout I suspect it was a 150/2 DMU back in 2008 before it got stored.  On any of the attempts since, who knows but the layouts weren't sufficently finished to count!

A two-car JR Eastern class 119 EMU. That was about a month ago on Yamanouchi Oshika. Nothing has run on my other layout for about three months now... although if memory served me right, it was a DE10 with a single tank wagon...
