Foster Street - Ive Run Out of Maroon Engines - But Have Found Plenty of Green One

Well the Domestic Overlord and I have spent a brilliant few days away in North Yorkshire and returned home today feeling totally refreshed. Then it hit me, its nearly the end of September and the exhibition deadline is rapidly approaching.

 

So I decided to start to overhaul some of the locomotive fleet, four use on the layout, I must admit I thought I had more maroon locomotives but I was wrong, ad two of them are Duchess's not what you would expect to find on a secondary line?

The problem is I found this lot lurking in a stock box, and I believe I have things called Pannier and Prairie tanks as well hiding somewhere (all in various stages of detailing - from a past layout built when I was suffering from a head injury)

If ever a chap needed an incentive was needed to get the rest of the fleet serviced its the thought of having to use Great Western engines. :( Oh well only a load of Black Fives, 4F's Compounds, 8F's, 3F's, various 2-6-4 and 2-6-2 tanks to sort out!

 

Now what to do with those green things, I suppose I could use the chassis for something..........................

 

Until the next time as ever Happy Modelling

Hmmm, I agree you need to get rid of those Green Wet and Rusty things as soon as possible!!!! ;)

 

Honestly though, what a great collection of locomotives! Just need an original Royal Scot at Patriot to complete the maroon lineup!

I do have a rebuilt scot in my fleet, but one in original condition and a Patriot are on my build list (they have been on it for year though :()

There's an easy way to solve this problem you know. Sell the red ones and run the green ones. That way you can also be sure they run reliably. :-)

After your recent 'rant' about "No lamps showing", you have a lot of work to do.  I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that they all fully crewed!

 

Stanier did a reasonable job of copying GWR engines, to get the LMS working :).

Mikkel - how rude :)

1, they are not red they are MAROON

and

2, run GWR trains, Im supposed to be a railway modeller and surely the GWR cannot count as a railway :)

Yes they are all fully crewed at least I managed to complete that job, I have a lot of lamps to fit, just need to find a local source of supply now
