  4. The VIX wagons have recently been produced by Rapido and Sonic models offering many liveries from either manufacturer covering their lifespans. There is also the older Hornby, ex Triang, version available too in z selection of liveries from through out their lifespan. Meld.
  5. Just received my clutch of Cavalex 56's from John Dutfield models this morning via Personal Delivery which is service above and beyond IMHO, especially as there is a slight matter of the Dartford Crossing between locations !!! Many many Thanks to Ken and Heather for stunning and superb service. 1st one out of the box is 56120, which will be on the work bench soon to see some weathering so it can pull my rake of Accurascale Cawoods PFA's and hopefully allow it to look something similar to the pictures I have of it running through the Old Manchester Victoria on a loaded export coal service from way back in the mists of time. Still got the biggest grin on my chops at the quality of this model! Meld.
  6. Hi Arun, This is welcome news and I would be looking for some DMSO's to go with my TSO's that I bought a while ago. Meld
  7. It Started to go out of use when the three Freight Companies ( Transrail, Loadhaul and Mainline ) were formed in 1994 as they started to overhaul/ convert and/or repaint stock as needed into their respective house liveries, and of course then there was Ed and his EWS and their many pots of Maroon and Gold paint in 1996 :). However, many of the Salmons that have been converted to Ospreys are still in 'Dutch' livery, showing that just because something got re-purposed they didn't always get a repaint ! As other have said, give the combined Hive mind on here and idea of your project and timescale and your get more targeted answers for your enquiry . Meld
  8. He does. You do. 1.31% for 4mm or 00 or 1/76 or 1/76.2. HTH. Meld
  9. This Vehicle is in Sat-Link Red and Yellow livery. Although it could be mistaken for weathered EWS Maroon and Gold. ( The 12T Pipe wagon creeping into the picture on the left is a weathered Sat-Link open ). The Yellow Liveried Low-Macs may have been part of the BR Engineering group of vehicles used in BR Breakdown Train Units and not a Network Rail vehicle. As ever Rule 1 is always in operation.
  10. Hi Fran, Anymore news on these being available from yourselves please ? Nothing has been put up on here despite Steve saying he had posted them to you, I know you guys have been busy with receiving goodies and posting all that lovely stuff out. Many Thanks in Advance Meld
  11. Wow!! 10 sets, plus a Queen Mary. Maybe half the prototype rake then Lucy!?!
  12. Fran, you really need to announce another WoE NSE BFK as these trains run with a pair back to back in the middle ( sic ) of the formations - 50 + 9 was the usual loading. Meld.
  13. Gearbox changed and modifications to improve reliability. Meld.
  14. The T&W 143's were delivered in that livery from Alexander ( Hunslet-Barclay for the Chassis ), predominantly a Bus body building specialist .. ISTR the 142's were repaints of the ex Chocolate and Cream liveried "Skippers", so this has probably led to a different shade of yellow ( right or wrong for the then current T&W Yellow ?? ) being used at the depot level repaint.
