    Well like most of us on here my interests are many and varied, ranging from Swiss RhB in HoM through BR WR H/Diesels, WR Steam around 1956 with a focus on the Cambrian & Cambrian coast and Devon,19th C railways with a focus on locomotives of the L.N.W.R. Waverley route, Port Road etc. However I am finding myself more and more drawn to the Dawlish area Circ 1950s

    I always find time to doodle a new layout plan for one railway company on an other, arm chair modelling l think they call it! One day I m going to get round to actually building one of them!
    I m currently building a 7mm minimum space end to end WR BLT called Hurley, which is an imaginary former GWR branch from Maidenhead to the village of Hurley on the south branch of the Thames . As my collection of 7mm green diesels keeps increasing this layout may well end up being a preserved line!

  1. Just in the off chance someone has one, they are prepared to part with, l m seeking a Bachmann Branchline 39-726Dc BR Mk2F DBSO Driving Brake 2nd Open in Scotrail livery. Bob C
  2. Brilliant that just the information l needed to know. thank you and everyone else for taking the time to offer advice and help on this matter Very much appreciated Bob C
  3. Thanks chaps, really appreciated all your help on this matter. One quick question though does anyone know if the modern electrification flashes are bigger or smaller than the original ones? Bob C
  4. That good info thanks, looks like its doable then !
  5. I am hoping to back date the model to around 1989 so when were the roof mounted aerials fitted?
  6. Are there an class 47 experts in our happy throng who could answer this query please? I currently have my eye on Bachmann's latest offering of a ScotRail class 47, namely 47712 "Lady Diana Spencer" I note that the model appears to be finished in its current preserved livery, and was wondering what apart from replacement of the modern warning flashes would also need to be altered to back date the model to its late 1980s condition? Hopefully the donor model is suitable in the first place? Bob C
  7. Thanks Daddyman, appreciate the info 😊
  8. I feel we are going down the rabbit hole here! l have a model of 37417 from the 32 xxx series and lo and behold, it has cast bogies as well! Suspect it was down to what was available to be used at the time when the loco went into shop, so for the modeller its back to good old Flickr and start looking lol Bob C
  9. Well I was right this is a mine field, so easy to get caught out as l appear to here done so here. I had set my period as 1989, Ness viaduct incident and the introduction of 156s, looks like l ll need to spread my time line again lol Mid 87 to mid 89.............. yes l could make that work ! Bob C
  10. Funnily enough l was just looking at the Engrs Grey version of 37262 in this years Bachmann catalogue, thinking along the same lines. It would depend on if l could get a suitably finished body shell from Rainbow Railways. l suspect not! Cheers Bob C
  11. What type of bogies did 37262 have, fabricated or........?
  12. Arrgghh, this is the type of pit fall its all to easy to fall into. Thank you so much for pointing this detail out . TBH l never noticed any differences on the bogies of 260 or 262. I m guessing the same applies to 261, it had class 37 bogies as well?
  13. I m currently digging to find a list............. Bob C
  14. Many thanks for your advice re class 37 donors for given prototypes, for us not familiar with the class, its a class full of pit falls for the unwary. Models are far to expensive to discover you ve made the wrong purchase! I ll be chasing Rainbow Railways for a re numbered 37260 to 37262, that will give me a second Inverness loco at least. Cheers Bob C
  15. Good question. I ve not seen these coaches turn up in any other photos etc over the 15 months in question?
