Standard stock on the Isle of Wight video

Loved it! Great to hear what Standard stock sounded like. Love the compressors!

Some more standard stock sounds



Ian

Fantastic. Thank you

The sounds remind me a little bit of riding on a 38, or a 59, or a 62. I was also thrilled to see the semaphore signals.

I thought of you when I heard them....

No need Ian. I've ripped them off your first video just as the train's departing Brading. I've now got the throttle, reverser, brake and lovely track bed rumble so it actually sounds like a train on wooden sleeper track. Done the bell and notching relay. Just need some comming to a hault squeels and that lovely compressor.
I suppose I could change the whistle aswell for the 485.

There is a 20mph restriction on Ryde Pier. I had the acceleration rate for the LU version of the Standard Stock but tweaked the 485 to be a bit faster. Not fast enough by the sound of it. Are you running version 2 of the Standard Stock for RailWorks.
After running your videos we also need to tweak the notching relay as it notches out alot quicker than we first programmed but we're on the case.
Without any technical data on acceleration rates it's all a bit of a guess.

Anyone out there help on this issue.

Darren.

I've got some 8mm cine of a standard stock cab ride in 1968/9, which includes a bit of PS Ryde and the last other surviving 02, which was cut up the week after my cine was taken. Can anyone convert mit to video for me?

I guess running my video on youtube along side the simulator would be great for tweaking the speeds etc?

Another upload for you:

Hi,

More video to come.

There was only ever one control trailer used. It was given a refit and converted back to a control trailer in the mid 80's. It was S28. an 'A' (Ryde end coach) The cab was given a BTH master controller rather than the fitted GEC one. Also a small equipment compartment was constructed behind the cab, on the drivers side, in a seating space.
The Control trailer was used in a 3 car set (Along with motor coach S5) and was one of the last 3 coaches that remained here after the '38s' were introduced. It was used for de-icing duties. Most of my cab equipment came from S5 when it was scrapped in Sandown in 1994.

Nice pic David.
I suppose the fact there is only a 20mph limit on the pier and it's a 3 car train, it would only need one DM.

Hee! Talk about evocative! Just the sound of the Compressor & PCM kit ticking brings back 10 years of holidays as a kid!! Just a shame I started working for the Railway the same year as the standards were on their last gasp else I'd have reams of video as well!!
I suppose the next cut will be the other line up the pier, they've already demolished the platform (or most of it) shown in the pic at the Esplanade & boarded up the subway...

I do remember seeing a 'Fictitious Liveries' style pic of a 72ts in Stagecoach livery somewhere online... I wonder if its still out there?!?

Have they done away with the pier shuttle all together now and just incorporated Ryde Pier into the working timetable. No extra services for summer?
