For me in terms of exclusive liveries, EWS 60500, 60081 and 60006 or 60033 in Corus livery. Maybe the Corus pair could be a multi-pack or sold alongside each other?

@Accurascale Fran @McC Thanks for your info. I decided to check the voltage that my controller sends out. I use the Digikeijs DR5000, and at it’s strongest point on the layout (where dropper nearest the controller is) I recorded 16.8v. Could that voltage be enough to cause damage to the locos, or would it need to be higher/substantially higher? Thanks, Caz

CazRail's Workbench: A bit of this, a bit of that.
CazRail replied to CazRail's topic in Modifying & Detailing RTR stock
In the last post, I said... "Now if Bachmann produce a Central Trains class 158, I have some transfers ready for it....(I'm not re-painting that livery!!)" They must have been listening 👀 So, another 158 job this evening, involving Bachmanns new release of Central Trains. Within minutes of mine being out of the box, I set to work removing all of the Central Trains branding and numbers, for it to become Wales & Borders Trains' 158845. Before --> After. The branding was removed using a cocktail stick, rubbing the branding and numbers. Transfers provides, as with most of my projects, by Railtech. Job's a good'n. -
Jim’s “out and about with GBRf” thread
CazRail replied to big jim's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
I thought it was still DB. We were accessing through the sidings at Shotwick couple of nights last week, was surprised to see the ground position lights still working. Just a shame nothing's been in there for a good number of years now. -

I've been working around Dee Marsh on nights the past couple of weeks as picop, such a shame the amount of vegetation there. Is they yard still DB or is it GBRf now? -
Class 37, by Accurascale
CazRail replied to Accurascale Fran's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
So in the process now of sending 37605 back to Accura for exchange/repair. Have to say, Accurascale's returns process and support has been great. -
Class 37, by Accurascale
CazRail replied to Accurascale Fran's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
Unfortunately, one of mine has developed some poor running, with the speed being inconsistent. It sort of has little bursts of speeding up and slowing down as it runs. I know some people have has this issue with other Accura locos before now, has anyone else had a 37 do it? Anyway, I've contacted Accura by email, and have asked for a video of what's going on. Shame, as they're cracking locos! -

I've done mine tonight before I went to work, with mixed results. Both were spot on after I'd lubricated them, but after running them in multi, the lead loco developed the squeak again after a couple of laps. The need speed matching, and its not as bad when they run singley, so I'm wondering if the lead loco pulling faster than the other is causing it. -

Mine sounded like the bearings either side of the worm gear were dry, so I'm in the middle of cleaning them up and re-lubricaring them to see if that'll do it. -

My 37605 and 607 arrives safely today, and wow! They are the dog's doo-daahs. Only query is, both mine seem to squeak as if they need lubricating, has anyone else had this? -
The next diesel/electric loco from accurascale?
CazRail replied to Craig1989's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
Surely the class 67 can do with Accuraisation.... 😉 -

Yes, the /6 needs a refurbished sound. -
Class 37, by Accurascale
CazRail replied to Accurascale Fran's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
Decided to buy the two DRS /6s that have come back into stock directly with Accurascale and cancel my pre-order with Hattons. Luckily, I'm working nights, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep! -
The Central 158s have started arriving into stock. Mine won't stay Central branded for very long.

Llannunlle - A 1990-2009 North Wales Coast layout
CazRail replied to CazRail's topic in Layout topics
A year and 3 months later... 🙈 Decided to do some scenic work on the layout, involving a couple of Bachmann Scenecraft buildings. The overall scene is a mash-up of Dee Marsh, Shottwick and Llandudno Junction, creating traincrew depot/loco stabling point/carriage and wagon inspection point... -

Revolution Trains offers IHA-F Sfhimms wagons in 00 and N
CazRail replied to Revolution Ben's topic in Revolution Trains
Been wondering when these wagons would be made, can see these being very popular. Just about fits in with my north Wales theme with the Margam-Dee Marsh workings. -
I've gone for a Central 158, but I'll get re-numbered and re-branded to a Wales & Borders version. Been wanting one for a fair while too.

An EWS 37/7 would be nice!
