pat141 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Very nice, a quiet day at the junction. Where is the bird song coming from? I can'd decide if it's beautiful or driving me mad. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Davey Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Keeping in mind the nature of the train's cargo, plus the avian background noise, might I suggest the following as an appropriate musical soundtrack: (Ammonia Poor Little Sparrow) Ok I'll get my coat....... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted January 29, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29, 2020 Really good , the 170s re-liveried look the part at normal viewing distance - quite close up in these shots, so a good win. The 450 is that based or Worsely eches - I have some as well and just got some roof mouldings from Bratchell models to have an easy route to the ribs, but will go for the first livery. Thanks for showing and inspiration. Robert 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colmflanagan Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Very enjoyable watching, though I was never a big fan of the 450s - a train which looked modern (in 1985!) but the power car was still noisy - I was surprised how bad it was, given the double glazing and bulkhead between the engine and passenger accommodation. One small item - why not fit the covers to the engines under the bodies of the CAF sets - if you're not too immersed in other projects? It is a definite feature of these cars and unlike the short lived ones on the old MEDs (which were progressively removed exposing their entrails,) they still give the train a sleek look. The "turbostar" units don't have these. Colm 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were utterly ghastly things to travel in! Even less comfortable than the truly awful MEDs in the 1960s/70s. When they converted a few old MED centre cars to mailbag vans, I always felt sorry for the mailbags..... 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck on your build Robert. The Castle Class was made many years ago from two Dapol 151/2 Sprinter sets with the intention of building a Worsley Works one later but that has not happened ...yet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
