Bulleidboy Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 @WTD - glad you have returned (from walking the dog perhaps)....! 😆 @Bulleidboy - model shop telephone to say (contrary to Hornby's website image) 35030 Elder Dempster Lines doesn't have the electrification flashes - so I'll be heading there in the morning! 😀 I can also confirm that it does not have the electrification flashes.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I agree. A three month dog walk is way to long! Where are walking? Around the world and back?! 😆 Only joking. Jokes aside, I do WTD to come back on this forum. 😀 GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCDR Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Just arrived boxed set of three 24.5 ton coal hoppers (Diagram 1/148) from the new (Irish) kids in the block. Lovely models with correct details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Over the last month, thanks to a colleague talking about biomass wagons he sees daily, I've purchased a good-used Bachmann Class 66 from Rails, and 'a few' HH hopper wagons - OK, quite a lot actually!!Out of the country for now, so they'll be waiting for me when I return.I was trying to stick to '48 - late 60's with a 'few exceptions' until now ... never mind!!Al.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Which livery is this Class 66 in, atom3624? EWS, Freightliner, Stobart Rail, etc livery? I love the Bachmann Class 66. They are nice and very well detailed. I have one. GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I went for the Freightliner - sort of ties in with the 'earlier' 08's, 20, 25, 37, 40, 47 and 55 Deltic I have - all green in some form.Must admit, 66 is a beast!!Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Good choice, atom3624. I like the Freightliner Class 66's. I also like the Freightliner livery, the old livery, that is. GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troublesome Truck Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Just received delivery of a Hornby HST 125 and MK3 coaches in the Virgin livery.There's no coupling bars or hooks on the coach which isn't great, but I've got some knocking around somewhere. Hopefully, this will run just fine around my track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Western Railway Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Two weeks ago, I got the Metcalfe country station, having been posting in the "What was running on your layout today?" post. I added it in there. But after someone suggested putting it here, I decided I'd wait until I bought some new products before posting, so here we go. As I said, the Metcalfe country station, which was finished off last weekend. And today after my model shop trip. I bought some Gaugemaster products: mod - roc (GM100), and some assorted lichen (GM166). So this afternoon, I'll be looking through old boxes for polystyrene, to put the mod - roc onto.

atom3624 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 The wife is going to ban me access to 'a certain internet auction site' when I travel!!Last week I purchased an excellent-looking used Freightliner Class 57 (Bachmann) to 'banker' the biomass hoppers being hauled by the Freightliner 66 purchased 3 weeks ago.Yesterday I couldn't resist it and JUST 'won' a Hornby Class 50 - always loved to see them in Newquay station as a teenager - big, muscular and quite stylish - belays the sheer size. Looking forwards to seeing the fan moving ... Not certain but I think it has opening doors - might be wrong, but looks great. D421 - trying to keep it as 'early' as possible!!Al.

atom3624 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Put another way, I need to revise my enthusiasm into something a little more realistic!!I think I've enough 'toys' for now anyway ... but with that D421, it'll need the blue and whites to go with it, really ... be good Alan!!

atom3624 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Mk2 'blue and whites' are on their way - actually selected good 'new old stock' / used Airfix as the default Mk2 coaches - look great.I've bought a few Motorail coaches to tag on the end as well - Lima twin deck and Oxford Rail mono-deck.Got to open and see that Class 66 - looks fantastic. Heavy but surprised it's relatively light for a big Bachmann diesel - only 530 g - others weigh closer to 600 g from them.Looks like it may need the Class 57 I purchased as a banker!!D421 not arrived yet - can't wait. Seller says grilles are perfect and has never 'messed' with the adjustable ones - might lubricate before I meddle with it and then there's the fan .... A bit too complex I think, but nice 'gimmicks' nevertheless.Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
