50007/50034 Hercules/Furious GB Railfreight

Reunited with its original Hercules name at Washwood Heath in 2014 after being acquired by Boden Rail the previous year, 50007 has been one of the busiest Class 50s in preservation after being retired by British Rail – for the second and final time – in March 1994. This followed its earlier withdrawal in July 1991, later rescinded in 1992 so it could work railtours. It had initially been sold to the Class 40 Appeal at the Midland Railway Centre and retained its its celebrity GW150 paint job and still controversial Sir Edward Elgar name from February 1984. As part of the Neil Boden fleet with 50017 and 50050 it returned to Network Rail metals in May 2014 in BR blue, which it last wore up until its refurbishment at Doncaster Works in February 1983. After just two and a half years of occasional use with Colas Rail, it was sold to the 50 Alliance, a partnership between the Fifty Fund and Project Defiance, giving the group a second main line operational locomotive after 50049.

Withdrawn in August 1991, 50049 was acquired that same December by the Class 50 Society – later known as Project Defiance – and was started for the first time in preservation in May 1992. With memories of its Class 50/1 conversion still fresh. the locomotive was returned to its popular Railfreight General paint scheme in August 1993 and was twinned with its Royal Navy namesake at an event at Laira. This saw it given a crest above the nameplate on each side – notably in BR service it had only worn a single example. In May 1994 it moved to the West Somerset Railway where a power unit lift and main generator repair was undertaken. This was completed in the October and it ran the first trains of its preserved career soon after. In 2000 it returned to the main line in BR blue and four years later following a large logo repaint it was partnered with the Fifty Fund’s 50031 Hood as the key representatives of the class in action on the national network. This was cemented in 2006 when the pair were hired to Arriva Trains Wales for summer-dated trains between Cardiff and Fishguard Harbour, as well as other special services and relief trains. While this only lasted that year, Defiance has remained a regular on the main line ever since, principally for railtours and stock transfers.

Consummating a useful relationship with GB Railfreight, 50007 and 50049 were outshopped in the operator’s steel blue and orange livery in March 2019, which surprisingly suited the pair very well, basically being a privatisation era update on the much loved large logo scheme. They were regularly rostered on GBRf staff charters and stock moves, as well as their usual railtour duties, although 50007 initially only wore its Hercules ’plates on one side, with the other (five grille side) carrying the Warspite moniker from 50014. This was replaced with a Furious ’plate from 50034 in 2022 in memory of preservationist Paul Taylor who passed away the same year. Once the five-year deal had run its course, the two Class 50s returned to Arlington Fleet Services at Eastleigh Works in August 2024 where they were returned to large logo blue. Both are fitted with the necessary equipment for main line running, including TPWS, OTMR, and GSM-R.

Attractive
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Grey
The assembled product is just as described. The screens look great! I am using them to hide the cluttered shelving in my garage. The area now looks quite neat Something I must say, though, is that the assembly was extremely difficult. I had to use a silicone spray and some pounding to get the A and B poles to fit together. Also, it required a great deal of strength to stretch and hold the fabric panels so that the bars inserted in each hem lines up with the screws inserted in A/B poles. I strongly recommend having a partner to help with the assembly. while sc and screw into poles them once inserted intetchedtne end of each pole ( and B poles barely fit together. I used silicone spray on the end and then pounded them

Does the job, but assembling by yourself is a nightmare
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Does it do the job? Yes, although as others said there are small gaps but it's not a huge deal. The price is also good. But the reason I'm giving it a 3/5 is simply because the assembly for this was a complete nightmare. I honestly don't think I would recommend this to anyone unless they have another person to help them assemble it, because doing it by myself was terrible. I don't think I'd buy this again, I think I'd opt to just spend a bit more money and save myself the trouble personally.

Reasonably adequate room divider
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Beige
I'm reviewing this as I assemble it. Couple things: 1. I didn't expect as much assembly. I've ordered dividers before and they more-or-less came as one unit. Sometimes the panels needed screwing together. These require complete assembly and come largely as three rods: two make up vertical columns and snap together. Another one (called part "C") makes the horizontal columns and you have two of these per panel (one attaches to part "A" and the other part "B"). These parts are metal with a plastic shim. Using the wood screws to attach to part "C" is a real pain in the neck. There's not much holding the panel in place so it's a little tricky. One tactic I've found while I'm assembling that works for the initial connections from parts A and B to their respective "C" rods is to hold the screw in place with a screw driver and then rotating the rod around the screw. This will do a number on your hands if you aren't wearing gloves. This obviously doesn't work when completing the connection. Using a driller driver on this is really near impossible because there isn't anything you can use to secure it in place. You can use it on the first panel, but as it gets longer, it becomes increasingly difficult and because it isn't wood, it's really tight. I considered drilling larger pilot holes but since there are only 4x4=16 screws I need to screw in, I just decided to use my screw driver to complete it. 2. Also related to assembly. When completing the panels (attaching parts "A" and "B" to parts "C" that have the cloth cover on it), you have to be careful that when you tighten that side that it isn't loosening the other side. Because the pilot holes are so tight, you can end up rotating the rod, which rotates it in the same direction as looser on the original side. Having someone hold the "C" rod in place while you screw it in is probably the easiest approach. I didn't have a 2nd person, so I just had to keep flipping back and forth and tightening both sides as I screwed it in. Not the worlds biggest deal, but annoying nonetheless. 3. The way the instructions are written, they seem to suggest building this thing progressively; that is, you do panel 1, then 2, connect them together, then do 3 and connect it, etc. I took a different route that I suspect saved me quite a bit of trouble, and I assembled all four panels first and THEN connected everything together. 4. For the love of God make sure you check that the plastic tip is on the same side for every panel. Otherwise, you have to take one side apart again and reverse it. On the bright side, if this happens, you've essentially bored out the pilot holes to be the correct size... which is having me question if I shouldn't have just bored them out to the appropriate width in the first place. 5. Attaching all of the panels together is also an enormous pain in the ass unless you happen to have an 88" long elevated surface. Attaching the legs either requires you to elevate one side, which will invariably twist the inexplicably cheap material in the bottom connectors... or you can attach them sideways... or you can put this thing upright, having two people hold the panels in place while you use the allen wrench to tighten the bolts on the underside. None of those are particularly great options. NOW on to the utility itself. 1. The panels do let some light through (I didn't believe their advertising, and that was one of the reasons that I bought beige, is that I wanted it to not be too dark). They aren't transparent though, so it isn't that far off from their description. They functionally work great, and keep the mess of wires hidden and when I'm sitting at my desk, actually reflect quite a bit of light into my office. Great! 2. My wife has described these as "the most hideous piece of furniture ever conceived of by man." So it does not have spouse approval factor. Granted, she will seldom be in my office area, so that isn't the end of the world. 3. These are really hard to align in a way that doesn't look a little tacky. There are some plastic connectors but they don't do a bang up job of keeping these in place. Each panel is slightly tilted and it's... quite obvious. I may at some point make my own improvements to these to help make them more level. It's not a particularly expensive product so I wasn't expecting much so it's fine and I'm not going to ding them on the rating because of it. All said, would I buy this product again? Probably not. It's assembly was ~90 minutes which is about 75 minutes longer than I was anticipating spending on this (not including the 5 minute writeup that I'm doing here). But am I going to return it? Also no, if for no other reason I'd be just as annoyed taking it apart and putting it in the original box to return it.

Great for using behind me on Zoom calls
Color: Black, Size: 1 Large Panel
This works great as a place to put tapestries behind me when I'm on Zoom calls... much nicer than blurring out the background. Easy to put together, large, works great.
