Well, the blue crompton has gone from the Hattons site.....

There are some others at the same price, places like Tower and a couple of others.

I've done a deal with a friend, but we cant swap until after Lockdown, but not on the NSE 33, I have decided to keep that one for now, but adding a Dutch 33 I hope. So that will be 3 x 33's, any more and it'll look like Eastleigh, haha.

3........I thought 3, now I have 6. I definitely think that’s enough now until Heljan bring out 33/2’s

 

and 33’s being superior type 3 traction, I think your crews will definitely prefer them to the 37’s

Well I have to confess to having 4 x 37's, yes greedy I know, but I love the sound.

[pwr]

I've got 4 class 15's but in fairness in 3 liveries and they often worked in pairs!

 

I'd certainly have a 33/1 if that came out

Don't look now, but I think you've trodden in some Dinosaur poo.

33035 Has been reinstated to Seven Mills this morning, WOW it looks superb, I do love that livery, now, what about a 47 and 50 to go with it, hahah. NOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Morning Andy.

 

Just read through the last couple of pages and the infamous statement "I have a plan" appeared. 

 

Good to see you are Wheeler Dealering with new stock, having raided your Swiss account at UBS (or did you sell some of those Bitcoins stashed in your mattress?) Either way, nice to see you planning and having fun with Bench Road.

Thanks Jeff, I actually got the Cash from raiding your Vault hidden in that magnificent Viaduct, haha.

 

I can't sit still, even with Lockdown, the old grey matter has to work, even if nothing else does, haha.

 

I looked at your Viaduct last night and I'm truly impressed, building a viaduct in DAS Stone by stone has to be a first. good on you.

For anyone that hasn't seen this build I suggest you visit here.

This morning the NSE 33 had its Snow Ploughs fitted as per the prototype, although I don't know how long it had them for. The Heljan one has the Centre Section, but I may remove that when I come to weather it.

It then visited Bench Road for Fuelling.

[Andrew P]

Bench Road was then cleared of Stock.

LJ will have a fit what with all this new stock. A 47 in toothpaste livery would look nice on your layout

Thanks for the "plug", Andy.

 

I suspect there'll be even more calls for me to be locked in a padded cell now, with no wood or DAS in sight! 

 

Btw, how did you know about my cash-stash!?

 

Keep up the good work.

Brian Daniels did one by slicing a strip out of each side!

If I had 6 I'd feel I should

Naa, one's enough I recon, the Dutch one should look the dogs nuts though.

If you play the bugle it will be confirmed that I've lost the plot!

its actually very labour intensive as nothing lines up, and if I did HJ would then bring one out I’m sure

Very true.  They did it in 00 and with Heljan retooling existing models its not beyond the realms of possibility although I think we might get a 33/1 first.
