Description : History Affectionately known throughout its life as "Dubsy" but never actually named, the protoytpe locomotive was built by Dubs and Co of Glasgow in 1901 and delivered to the Shelton Iron & Steel Works in Stoke-on-Trent. It remained at Shelton Bar throughout its life and was used on various lifting jobs and rerailing locomotives or wagons that had come off the track. Unlike many Shelton locomotives which endured a hard life on a system of three continuous shifts per day, the crane tank was only required on a single daily shift. "Dubsy" has a conventional lifting and slewing mechanism on the crane, which has a single hook and chain. The crane cylinders are 4.5in diameter by 6in stroke, the jib radius is 14 feet 6 inches, and the maximum load is 6 tons. Large dumb buffers are fitted, and photographs show that the locomotive was often seen with an old flat wagon to avoid the overhanging crane jib fouling other stock. "Dubsy" was originally coal fired but was converted to oil firing in 1962. This modification prolonged the useful life of the locomotive, but not by much as it was taken out of regular use in 1968. The locomotive is now preserved at the Foxfield railway. I have named and lettered this loco No 1 "Resolution" for my route - which may yet see the light of day... and incuded a crane runner, for completeness. Installation Unzip the Dubsv1 folder to your MSTS directory The cabview and sound folders are aliased to the Flying Scotsman cab and sounds, so there is no need to copy these folders across. The loco is ready to go! However, I recommend the use of Stuart Williamson's 2 Cylinder sounds for a better effect.
