You now have a complete train to run, all you need now is a verry big Dcc chip. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Agreed, shame the sound file this one came with just isn’t very realistic 🤣🤣
Also have to fit the Hornby style coupling as those 3 links look great but are just too fiddly.
Congratulations from a fellow DS88 owner
You guys should start a owners club
Thank you mate, I’m over the moon!
There’s probably one out there already!
@@WardleRestorations very cool on your purchase. Still a lofty dream for me, but this was cool to see. Would have commented in the main but the option was oddly missing.
In Africa?
Excellent choice of loco. The 88DS is rugged and has great tractive effort, especially with the extra side ballast weights as on this one. A 400 ton load can be moved with careful driving.
Please forgive me if you are already on top of the following hints, but they arise from my own experience with these locos at 2 power stations and also the GWS at Didcot. It was quite a few years ago, but these are to the best of my memory:-
1. Try and obtain/borrow/copy a Ruston handbook, as it contains just about every technical thing you need to know about the 88DS.
2. In addition to the brake air receiver, the high pressure starting air receiver will probably need insurance inspection as it is a pressure vessel, so make sure that the Wolsey donkey engine is fully working as you will need it to repressurise the starting air receiver when putting the loco back into service after the inspection. I had to remove a rusted-in and broken spark plug from the Wolsey cylinder head on one loco.
3. The start-up and shut down sequences involve keeping the gearbox accumulator pressure maintained (3 -way valve near floor in cab). Very important for smooth operation of the gearbox clutches. I briefly glimpsed a pressure gauge swinging wildly in the cab. If that was the gearbox oil pressure, I suspect the accumulator has lost its charge.
4. The piston in the air brake cylinder is sealed with a leather ring- if it perishes, air braking will be lost. It's "easy" enough to repair with new leather sheet.
5. IF the electrical system is 6 Volt (as some were) upgrading to 12 Volt is worthwhile as bulbs, etc. are better and more readily obtainable.
6. I know that it is unlikely to happen on the CVR, but Ruston recommend dropping the drive chains before towing. It is possible to tow with the engine running in top gear but declutched, and the towing loco hopefully keeps to 12 mph maximum.
7. The cab heater is useless- wear a warm jacket when shunting at night.
8. Above all- ENJOY your new loco.
Thank you for all the tips & info, you'll be pleased to know my cab heater was replaced with a different working one and is pretty good! The electrical system is 12V so all the marker lights are bulbs or LEDs on 12v, can't remember which!
Thats some achievment well done👍
anyone who's able to buy, fix, and operate locos like this automatically has my respect
Appreciate it thank you mate :)
Is there a Ruston sale going on as Lawrie from LMM has a new(ish) project Ruston 48 to restore now. Congrats on buying your loco looks good.
I think too many people impulse purchased them on the Amazon Black Friday sale and now they've made their way onto the secondary market :)
Plenty of Rustons circulating at the moment! Cheers
Nice! So when are you taking your full train for a trundle?
When the other half allows me the time to finish them 😂🤣
WHATS WITH EVERYONE AND BUYING RUSTONS???? FIRST LAWRIE (TWICE AS OF NOW) AND NOW YOU??????
He’s got 2 48s, one of which won’t be running for a long time, mines an 88 🙂
Very nicely done Ollie lad - that's properly cool that 😎😎🚂🚂
You've now got your FULL train! Loco, Wagon and brake van!😁
Can’t wait to get her all painted up 😁😁
Well done and Congrats Ollie on your new loco. looking forward to future videos on the class 88..
Thank you, plenty of videos on the way as well as the brake van updates etc!
Loved the video did you say you are based at Colne Valley railway if so I brought my family for a visit in the late 70s or early 80s
Glad you enjoyed the video Kevin! Yeh I’m based at the Colne Valley, a lot has changed since then so you should visit again 👍👍
At the moment I am in Thailand but I will be coming back next year for some time perhaps I can come then
BR blue livery would suit her well...atb...jeff.
Cheers for the idea! Hope you enjoyed :)
@@WardleRestorations Oh yes, I love railways.
Duded literally just bought a literal TRAIN like it's just a normal trip to the store.
Not the sort of thing I can do all the time sadly!
@@WardleRestorationsit's the sort of thing 99.9 percent of us can't do but would like to.
Looking forward to following this. Well done mate
Thank you dude
Hi Ollie, Just found your channel and thanks for sharing. I'd like to see your new loco repainted as per the photos that you feature here when it was initially transported out of the R&H factory (at Lincoln?) I hope to visit the CVR one day having never been. Best wishes, Dudley
good old briddons lol
got it there in 1 piece!
Contact Lawrie Rose and tell him that your loco is bigger than his!
Spoken to him a few times! haha
@@WardleRestorations You should absolutely do a collaboration video with him.
Ahhh congratulations Ollie, i knew the temptation would get the better of you 😂😂😂
Do subscribers get a free brakevan ride haha? 😂
Of course! ahaha
Livery? How about BR blue as No.20 or 97020 the former Reading Signal Works shunter...
Not a bad idea!
Brilliant loco Wardle Road
Cheers Mels
So now you have a complete train, a loco, a box van, and a brake! If you can find a four-wheel coach - - - !!
I'll be honest coaches have never interested me!
Extension of railway for your goods train when?
@DubGathoni ha if only!
sod the Ruston, tell us much more about Milo!
You really are building up a cracking little trainset. Nekminit....... " i bought a disused rail siding" 😂😂
Haha I can't afford a railway sadly unless I win the lottery!
What a very brave, fortunate, wealthy (now poor!) man you are. Hope it's going well. Unfortunately I can't even afford a DCC Hornby ruston, that'd do me.😃
Nice one Ollie. Here's to many hours of enjoyment from the Rushton! Good to see you looking well, chap! Keep safe now. Cheers!
Brilliant...well done Ollie, another item to the portfolio and at least this one works. Hopefully at some point it'll be pulling your wagons soon. I nearly purchased a class 47 years ago and wish I had but hey ho.
Well Steve, having owned a loco in the past, it’s not for the faint hearted. The loco I was an owner of, will be featuring on Hither Green at some stage 😜
If you had bought it, imagine what it would be worth now!
@@WardleRestorations and imagine how much I would have spent too...lol.
True but it’s a 47🤣
@@WardleRestorations they all eat money whatever their size. Enjoy it
Great video, interesting to see how you got the loco delivered. Liked the run down the line, that's a very nice railway. You'll have fun with your 88.
Had to drive it off as it was uphill so wouldn’t roll off sadly!
Ollie next time buy the peckett 0-4-0 to work in shunting duties because it doesn't cost that much
Don't think I'll ever have the money for a steamer, or the time to maintain it sadly
Congratulations Ollie! As for livery, could be Colne Valley and Halstead Railway lined black? ;)
Is that an LNER brake coach seen around 11:50 ? Do you know if that's under restoration? Didn't know the CVR had any like that there.
Thats a Greasley coach with a bar in it, used on steam days. It is currently under restoration!
Congrats ollie on your wonderful scoop. Bolton Abbey is up my neck of the woods it's a lovely little place, I think it's slightly bigger than your place. Your new engine will look nice in br blue and large yellow stripes. Anyway enjoy your new girl. 👍.
It took me a while to get there but the scenery at Bolton Abbey is stunning!
Awesome Ollie 👍 Now you can practice driving when you finished driving your class 66’s.
Have you got some ‘L’ plates for it ? 😂
Haha I've got the hang of driving it already to be fair!
Hi Ollie, just liked and subbed, great purchase, it's good to see guys like you and Lawrie saving these fantastic machines, they're finally getting the recognition they deserve, take care, all the best from Scotland, Stephen.
Hi Stephen, thank you so much for subscribing, it helps the channel more than you can imagine. Hope you enjoy all the future content!
Nice one Ollie 😊 That’s a cute little train that’ll suit that brake van a treat 🤩
Cheers dude, yeh can't wait to have them running together!
You certainly been bitten by the bug now how do you get the spare time for it all cheers Al
With a very understanding other half! lol
Many congratulations
thank you!
Well done , my wife and I own Rowntree No3 a 20 toner like yours
That’s brilliant! I’d love to come and see it sometime 👍
@@WardleRestorations it’s running on Monday
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Massive Congrats on the loco, i think its time to go Fictional ;) maybe Dutch to go with the brakevan haha, orr all red with WR on the side
Thank you! And haha I have a lot to think about regarding liveries!
I saw that on a group I was in! I’m glad someone bought it!
She's gone to a great home :)
9:15 is that Doc Brown from Back to the Future?
Well Ollie i have to admit that is a pretty cool thing to own, well done mate
Thank you, hope you enjoyed
Well done thats some achievement👍
Thank you!
Erm...not sure how to break this to you Ollie.....Hornsby...not Hornby.....the bloke at the pub who sold you this has had you over mate. It's deffo not 00 gauge. Your stay alive will need to be about 5ft long and where on earth do you think you are going to find a big enough airbrush for the paintwork :((( Oh Ollie :((( Jealous as hell mate, good on ya :))
I did wonder why they needed heavy haulage for an OO loco 🤣🤣
Massive well done my dude. Proud of ya!
Look how far you have come 😎
Hopefully i can come over sunday for a look!!!
Appreciate it bro! I'll get you hooked on standard gauge one day! lmao
@@WardleRestorations i already love it but being able to chuck a loco in the car wins it for me i think sadly.
Never say never!
How much
Don’t tend to talk about money here sorry
Well done dude, the first of many!
Lets not get ahead of ourselves! hahaha
pls there my favourite
It seems like you're just buying everything now,!! Are you going to buy a steam engine next!!?? If you are thinking of buying a steam train future, there are four andrew barclay 0-4-0 in Kirkcaldy that need saving. I would like to help you with that. But that's a far journey from colne Valley railway to Kirkcaldy!!
Steamers are too expensive and too much to upkeep / overhaul sadly!
@@WardleRestorations yea, ture. They are expensive, and might make you broke.😂
Wonderful video and amazing loco but I have too ask around the 15 minute mark and a bit before off too the right hand side of the video is that an old minutre railway
Thats just an extra bit of the 7 1/4 miniature line that runs most running days!
May want a stay alive and a change of speaker, perhaps a double iphone speaker?
maybe a triple iphone speaker for this one!
Nice one looks lovely
colour original always original
They came in so many colours!
Im assuming you will be getting wagons or passenger cars when you get the money to do so
If you look at other videos on my channel you will see I already have wagons! 🙂
I saw you at clones valley railway on Saturday 😁
Should have said hello!
@@WardleRestorations I was in the 125 already ☹️
@@hornby125 Always next time :)
Where is the train station you put it at I used to go there as a kid but forgot what it’s called ?
Colne Valley Railway 🙂
the photos give me a model railway vibe idk why
Is that a good or bad thing lmao
Now, remember when I said that you were building an entire train wagon by wagon...?
But do you approve of the loco?! Haha
@@WardleRestorations Yes, I definitely approve of you having motive power! I can imagine that you'll have a whole fleet of preserved railway vehicles by the time that you're 40 at this rate.
This looks like so much fun, it should be illegal! 😅
It certainly is a lot of fun!!
Awesome, how cool is that 😊
Pretty damn cool! Haha
can we still call this modeling 101 ?
Think it’s borderline 🤣🤣
Maybe a bit of a personal question but i wonder how much it cost to buy the loco and ship it cuz when i bought my 7'1/4 inch loco it cost me about 10 grand for the loco alone
It was less that 10 grand! haha
All the hip kids buying Rustons😂
Maybe :P
Nice one Ollie. Congratulations again mate.
Thank you 3BRail, and thanks for the continued support it means alot
Nice one. Someone in my club has just bought a class 43!
Full size or model?🤣
@@WardleRestorations Full size. He has 22 models of the HST
I want one in blue with 20 slapped on the side!
haha!
Nice one mate congrats!
Thank you mate! :)
Cool...
🙂👍
Is the next step to buy a big property and run your own railway? As it's a Ruston no doubt Lawrie from LMM will be interested. Do you have to pay a fee to store all your equipment on the CVR or do you let them use it in return for using a siding. May you have many years of fun with the projects. You really have jumped right into railway preservation.
I don't have to pay any fees to store locos or rolling stock there, I try get to the railway at least once a week to work on projects and supported by great people there!
dude can you drive some 5 inch trains
At some point maybe!
Well, if you’re talking liveries, then the original livery is obviously the top choice
True, but it carried so many!
@@WardleRestorations but their was only one original livery
Gotta be large logo BR blue , surely 😊
maybe!
great video
glad you enjoyed :)
how much did you pay?
Not information I'm going to be sharing on here!
Are you sure its a locomotive .a loko has to be propelled by steam!
I sincerely hope you are joking about a locomotive has to be steam-powered
lmao
Personally owned express
Something like that lol
It seems to be in good running condition why did you not just drive it on the train tracks all the way to the museum?
You don’t mean down the mainline do you? 😂
@@WardleRestorations sure why not it could have been a special movement or maybe you could have driven it at night when there is less traffic I am so glad you saved that locomotive 🚂
Wow!
A good wow i hope haha
Beautiful locomotive. Nice purchase!
Thank you! :)
Well done ollie. need to get brakevan done and your wagons and you have a train!!!
Hopefully sooner rather than later!
Nice loco, well done!
Thank you!
You should definitely try and fit a klaxon alongside the horn, as Rustons did come with them originally.
I tried looking up some original ones but they were like £300!
fantastic, I used to work close by to Warrington Gas Works
Don't suppose you drove her around the works?
@@WardleRestorations I wish 😀
I knew the owner of that loco very well and it was well looked after up at Embsay and always started well even after long periods out of use, good luck with it's continued preservation 👍
Absolutely love reading comments like this! Makes me confident I made the right decision in buying it 🙂
I love it can we have more. I have been there. Great thanks.
I’ll try get another video out in the next few weeks, I have a full time job so don’t always have lots of free time for filming!
Awesome!
Cheers :)
I used to have one of those with my Triang-Hornby train set.
Probably easier to move than this one! Haha
That makes my 42 year old BJ42 seem rather ordinary …
Well done, what a great adventure 👍
Cheers!
Are you Loco ?:)
maybe haha
Congrats Ollie !! You should make a model of your real life train. Looks like we all will know where you will be spending your free time. Have fun !!
Appreciate it! I'm over the moon with my new acquisition!
Congrats, I can’t imagine how much a running driving Ruston cost you, a great achievement, will enjoy the video updates on its restoration
It’s probably not as much as people think! The transport was the real expense. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Give us an idea of the transport cost.
Nice one fantastic cheers from Bruce.blenheim south island new Zealand
Thanks from watching all the way across the pond!
Why not, sounds like a great idea. Well done sir.
Thank you, I’m extremely happy with it!
Mind = blown! Amazing, Ollie!!!
Haha glad you like it!
Hope you have years of happy Running.
Appreciate it thank you!
Wow, what a lovely little engine.
Thank you mate!
Well done oli mate 😊 jealous or what lol loving how you started with your small layout to then a room then a brake now a ruston 😊 what's next A3 or westcountry class I reckon
Sadly even with all the money in the world I couldn’t afford an A3 and it’s upkeep 😂
One hell of a cool loco you got! I’m jealous
Haha its a lot of fun!
well done mate... doesn't get any better than that... wow
And to think you were one of the first subscribers!!
@@WardleRestorations pleasure Olie, again well done
A LMM copycat XD
How so
@@WardleRestorations i dont mean it that way, its just not everyone can brag that they bought a loco on social midia
Paid for his one himself though 👀
Your from Aylesbury? Same here lol I work on the C&PRR so local lo
Been there a few times, nice little set up!
I'm famous😂 good job fella
Who are you in the video sorry hahaha
@Wardle Road it's me Alex I forgot my YT account is different, you probably thought who's this fucker🤣🤣
Magnificent
Thank you!
