Currently on Draxbridge, I have three locomotives:

 

Class 08 08585 

Class 31 31602 Driver Dave Green

Class 73 73121 

 

Now, I have come to realise that I need a lot more in order to run a decent timetable. However, I can't just go and buy one. I'll have to save up for one or two then buy them when I get the chance. 

 

The diesel classes that are seen on the mainline which I'm after are: 

 

Class 20

Class 31

Class 33

Class 37

Class 43

Class 47

Class 50 - two are used by GBRf

Class 56

Class 57

Class 59

Class 60

Class 66

Class 67

Class 68

Class 69

Class 70

 

But, I have managed to get a new loco this week. And it's a Class 66!

I brought another loco last week and it arrived in the post two days ago.

 

66504

 

This 66 will be a good match for my Freightliner HHAs, MJAs and my newly acquired FEAB Spine wagons. This now boosts the Draxbridge fleet to 5 locos.

I test ran the new 66 on the test track today and it works well. All the lights work too! I also took the opportunity to test run the other locos and they still work as well.

Brought another loco last Friday and it arrived today. It's a Class 37! 😁

I've always wanted a model of one of these fantastic locomotives and now I have one! The purchase of this brings the Draxbridge fleet up to 6 locos!
