Johnson Street IEMD - loco update - 7th September 2023
Another arrival in the Long term store siding
Since 90031 arrived in my long term siding, it was always my intention to have another Crewe Long Termer (LTS - Long Term Storage) join them for company and to add to the scene space. The layout is becoming a kind of diorama in some ways, and although 90031 is DCC fitted, there isn't any plan for it be going anywhere.
Soooo, what should join 90031, well, if one looks at what has been sitting alongside them for a good long time and would be the perfect partner for them, that would have to be 90025 in a super tired state. Almost like fate, a suitably scruffy RfD 90 sound fitted appeared on my radar and the deal was done.
The level of scruffiness found on the acquired RfD 90 wasn't sufficient enough for Johnson Street IEMD and with the brief under the purview of @Squirrel Rail a heavily cannabilised DB Cargo Class 90, 90025 emerged. It's missing the roof detail, a couple of light fittings, buffers and more, a reflection of these parts keeping other DB90s fully functional.
The sound chip which the RfD 90 is going into Bumblebee1 (90026 in ex-Grand Central) and the dcc chip he had has gone into 90025.
A great arrival for the layout and great to get to see them on my birthday as well !!!
What's next, we'll, there's going to be a few more DB90's, a 92 or two 🤔 .. one has not that long ago arrived in 92042. Even though the theme is up to the minute DB and electric, there's no retirement plans for the DB90s here. Climate heroes all the way .. the sparky Climate hero types ⚡️⚡️⚡️
