  1. 60065 could be a great one in it's current form. Still running and just about clinging on to its EWS colours albeit with DB branding.
  2. Some 608 in stock at derails if anyone's looking (4 as I type)
  3. 608 has one in the detail pack. Think it's just the /9 ROG that would require tooling variation.
  4. I know weathering isn't to every ones taste and this may offend some, but I've spent several hours over the past few evenings making 609 a little more realistic looking, in my eyes at least, for a DRS workhorse. This involved an airbrush and some tamiya weathering powders. The most dramatic part was probably fully repainting the roof with weathered black to remove all that shine. Just as a note for anyone who's attempting this, the finishing coat over the decals is very thin on this 37/6 batch (or at least on the two I have), and is penetrated much faster than that on the 37/4 I recently did.
  5. There are a few pics from it's early ROG days back in 2017 like this (not mine). But then the front end isn't as currently modelled with the two connectors.
  6. Looking through flickr, 610 did actually have the middle section fitted around Feb/March 2019. Think this was just after repaint into current livery.
  7. Very nice. Currently fitting mine. Have gone for the full plough on 609 but wanted the dellner on 608. Did initially fit it as the loco is now, but the pipes looked really precarious dangling there without any protection, so I've gone with the side ploughs and the dellner, like it was around 2018-2021 (from memory). Always think they look tons better with the plough anyway, and quite naked without it. EDIT due to brainfart and wrong years
  8. Yeh they both sold out within minutes of me posting 😮
  9. 608, 609 and 97301 available on accurascale website right now. Tempted by the 97, but two loco's in one week is enough now.
  10. Tell you what, I'm properly impressed with the application of livery on both 608 and 609. It really shows what can be done. Blooming beautiful models.
  11. The bar just keeps getting raised with these beauties 🥰
  12. 608 on its way from Bure Valley and 609 from TMC. Going to be like Christmas Day tomorrow or Wednesday 😃
  13. Bure Valley Models seem to have 608 and 609 in stock too. I've got a preorder elsewhere for 609, but just paid for 608 with them as was struggling to find one.
  14. Hard to tell without looking straight on to it, but I'd say that the window frames look too small in general. On the original they extend down to the orange stripe and there is also very little gap between the frames.
  15. Or 609. Haven't seen any of that either. Just out of curiosity, has anyone got a 37/6 from a model shop yet or have they all been direct sales?
  16. I saw the sound fitted 97s earlier but only wanted a DCC Ready version. Does anyone know if the spares of those were released today too?
  17. If nothing else then I'm pretty sure that 402 and 409 have one of their side windows plated over compared to 401 and 424.
  18. Passenger wise, blue and grey Mk2a TSOs with the occasional MK1 thrown in and a MK1 brake of some kind (BG or BSK) on the back.
  19. Here's some shots of my attempt at weathering 409. I was going for the light to medium look you often see these DRS loco's in.
  20. Mine arrived this morning. Another highly detailed wagon bursting with separately applied fine detail, especially the underframe. Definitely different in many aspects than the competition but will easily fit in with each other. Happily waiting for the re-run of the JNA's now to finish that rake off.
  21. I read that the first 10 were released into service in September 2014.
  22. I've ordered two of these. They look great. I've also got a pack of the accurascale version, and as good as they are in detail, they are overly heavy, not very free rolling and the tail lamp is slightly annoying as it wouldn't even be present on many moves.
