Well a little more prep has been completed on the Locomotive fleet before the weekend, actually I was just playing train, but they are my trains so I can if I want.

 

I have been slowly re-painting a second Jubilee on post-war lined black, and she has now got her identity and a spot of weathering. So she joined her sister for a few laps of the layout, no lamps have been fitted yet, as I think she may end up double heading.

I would hate anyone to think I only have fancy passenger locomotives, so I thought I would look at some of the freight allocation.

I know the proto-types to use a technical term were a bit "pants" but I king of have a soft spot for them, and have a 3rd example that may get off the workbench at some point (maybe).

 

There was one calamity however, and it involved my Stanier Mogul, all I can say is it needs a little more work now before its completed, as I dropped it and it did not bounce :( so the picture below is pre-drop.

This would have meant that I have examples of all the principal LMS moguls, oh well it gives me something else to do, that's if the two Terriers and the Domestic Overlord will let me, only kidding (just in case the Boss reads this).

 

Until next time Happy Modelling :)

Double heading wartime black Jubilees, very nice! But two Austin 7s? That's just greedy! :D (I like them too, but only have one)

Sorry to hear about your Stanier Mogul, I hope the damage is not too bad. I lost a Bachmann 4F (MR livery) to a gravity based accident once, that didn't bounce either.

Did I spot some eastern interlopers in the background of the last pic? That sliver of unmistakable apple green.... ;)

Easter interlopers, me NEVER :)

 

The damage is not too bad, the frustrating thing is when I was test running the Loco, it managed to lose the tender drawbar and fixing screw somewhere on the layout.....spooky
