The sum total of this weekend's work is shown - five chipped locos. Both Class 90s are double-motored as per yesterday's entry, whilst the HSTs retain the single motor as supplied by Hornby. The 90s are fitted with Lenz LE1025A decoders and the HSTs have Lenz LE1024A decoders, although the 1025A would have done just as well.
Contrary to popular opinion I find out-of-the-box Hornby HSTs are perfectly capable of pulling a full-length train up my gradients and around my curves. This doesn't mean I wouldn't like a better mechanism in the things, of course, but it does leave me free to get on with more pressing matters rather than mess around with the drives in a fleet of HSTs.
Don't ask why I've got two HSTs in FGW 'Barbie' livery - it's a convoluted story. Suffice to say they will receive new bodies or a repaint at some point in the future....
