Winslow Boy Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I see the Squadron Leaders r been knocking back the whisky chasers again. You know someone really should have a chat with him, if for nothing else about the size of his mess bill. Anyway another spiffing shot old bean- even if you do have to squint to see it properly. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually the Chimney that produces such sounds . or do you know of some modern electronic wizardry to divert the steam outlet via the wheel spokes? And if applied to other transport systems it could transform the experience of travelling on the Intercity 125 ! 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted August 15, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Went ‘Up North’ yesterday to visit our friends and whilst there Andrew said he had some OO items. Well, one couldn’t say no could one so I had to have a look and in his box of loco’s he had 6697. This is a very old Mainline Railways 56xx which was released in 1983 but can still hold it’s own against newer models. A few issues to sort, lamp irons, needs a shirt button motif and converting to DCC. He kindly let me have this on permanent loan fully understanding it won’t look like this is a few weeks time. A really unusual loco for LM as they mainly lived in the Welsh Valleys but some did venture down to Bristol and Swindon so with a slight minimal twisting rule 1 could apply….
