  1. Given that there hasn’t been much activity on this thread recently, I thought that I’d just drop this little grenade of chaos… Brilliant news: Class 33 052 has arrived at Bluebell and will be living there as it’s new home. Finally some great news at last. Well done to all those involved, who have finally helped common sense prevail. My Lordz.
  2. Thanks for the modification to numbering. I love the idea that you have! Would love to see photographs of the model. Keep up the good work! All the best, DKViking :-)
  3. Wow. This is outstanding! I am reading Raising Steam as we speak, and this has given me a great idea on what it looks like! Amazing work mate. Keep it up! all the best, DKViking.
  4. Hej Gibbo , us Vikings have now developed further with text hahaha! I have not really thought about liveries as of yet. I have got an idea based upon my own fictional Private company which is called ThorRail.eu I have an example below using a livery editor in Train Sim World 2 on the PlayStation. It is not yet fully complete, but it might give you some idea :-D I have a Danish and English flag to represent my two countries, and the Thor’s Hammer symbol, after my name. There is some more writing and details on the loco to follow, I just haven’t got round to completing it yet haha! all the best, Thor (son of Grizz).
  5. Hi guys, My first time posting ever on RMWeb, my dad, “Grizz”, who is a common poster on here, has given me a nudge into posting my first proper modelling build, not based off of a kit. A little back story: So I am in the process of building 2 Prototype locomotives namely the Class 94/0 and the Class 94/4. Both locomotives are based off of a Mk4 DVT body and chasis, with some modifications to enable them to be locomotives with two cabs (similar to a Class 91). The imaginary locomotives are both similar in design and concept, except some exterior body features. The imaginary locomotives are based on a Hybrid design, running on Battery, Diesel Electric, and 3rd Rail DC Electric (which I have a particular fondness of, as 3rd rail is part of my day job). I have some progress photographs that I have taken if anybody is interested. The Above is the imaginary Class 94/0 with corridor connection, and below is the imaginary Class 94/4 locomotive without corridor connection (looking more like the Class 91). these photographs above are at the beginning of the development stages, with the cabs marked out, and only partly complete lighting etc. The Class 94/0 has been designed to complete duties for high-speed parcels trains and high-speed international parcel trains from Dollands Moor to across the country. The corridor connection allows ease of access for parcels staff and for crew to enter the train. Due to the corridor connection on the rear, a shunting cab was added for slow speed, shunting operations to occur within yards. The Class 94/0 was intended to work in Multiple with another locomotive or Driving Trailer, to reduce the time spent shunting and running around the trains at each end. The imaginary Locomotives have had their chassis supported and strengthened to withstand the additional weight from the traction equipment. Buffing Gear is being added to both ends to allow wagons to be coupled. The Class 94/4 is a variant from the 94/0, with the corridor connection being removed, and a full operational cab being added to the rear. The imaginary locomotive was intended to work both high-speed parcels and high-speed freight, with the rear cab allowing the Loco to run in both directions. Both locomotives have had their fronts rounded due to a less requirement for extreme speed. This can be seen in the photo below which is incomplete as of yet with some requirements for some more filing :-D. hopefully this might be of interest to someone, I am quite enjoying making these as my first attempt. Skål DKViking.
