Bachmann Class 108

The photographs, above, show our three-car Class 108 DMU as it leaves Carswater station.

You will notice that the centre coach has a black roof while the two power cars each have grey roofs.

This is because the Power Cars (53959 - Powered and 54243 - Non-powered) came as a two-car set - Catalogue Nº  32-902, while the centre coach is from a different three-car set - Catalogue Nº 32-910.

This is not a problem since, for the most part, this will be used as a two-car DMU but it does give us the option to run three cars from time to time.

This train has been with the railway for quite a while now but was waiting to be fitted with DCC sound.

This has now been done and, like most of our sound locos, it has had the Howes sound files installed.

The 108 will be used, predominantly, on the Gunnmere Junction to Anchwood branch line although, I am sure, it will occasionally be pressed into service on the main line.
