Today, I picked up two lovely Lima models (analogue only for now, but I intend to have them hard-wired for DCC and maybe install sound in the 60). Both are due for eventual professional weathering and DCC conversion.

The locos I got today are 37 099 'Clydebridge' and 60 008 'Moel Fammau', both in Railfreight Metals Sector...ideal for the steelworks!

Of course, they won't always be pulling steel carriers and the like. Every loco in my fleet will perform any duty.

I'll post a topic soon after this blog post, asking how the community feels about Lima models. Honestly, I got them at a bargain price and they run well in terms of performance. They are noisy runners, which is why I'm considering installing sound eventually to mask the noise of the motors.

Don't know if simply replacing the motors would fix this issue or if the pancake (I believe) motors in these are just noisy anyway.

That's all for this post. Cheers
