There we are, the D63 in service after its 30 year refurbishment.

I’m not sure that I’m completely happy with it but perhaps we are all getting a bit harsh on ourselves since close up photography shows up all sorts of things that are just invisible from normal viewing distances. You never know, one of the rtr manufacturers might bring out a very nice version. Probably by the time this one has been in service for another 30 years……

 


So a close up pic;

Aye, well. In practice these vans would have spent most of their time on coal traffic so thats the service I will be using it for.

I very much agree with Ian. That is a superb goods train in an excellent setting.

 

The brake van looks good to my layman's eyes. I agree about close-up (and low level) photography though. It can help show up faults during construction, but can also be demotivating at times. Maybe there will be a counter-trend soon. Long-distance viewing! :-)
