I've had no complaints, so yes I hope so too Julian.

I wasn't going to post this until tomorrow / Sunday morning but its almost midnight Saturday and so hey ho, its late lets do it, as its just been up loaded to You Tube, I thought I'd get it stuck on here now.

 

So here we have Video No 82, only 10 minutes this time, so I hope you enjoy it.

A bit of action at the Bridge End Sidings and a 33 about to come over the crossing at Yard Lane.

[Andrew P]

I had decided to / still might, try to sell the NSE 33, but this morning I have given it a final clean up and it does look so much better for it.

If I do decide to sell it, it will be without the Sound.

it does fit in nicely now with your 1990’s era. You may as well keep it, especially as you are in the SW area, being an Eastleigh loco it is appropriate for the area

[Andrew P]

Back to a bit of the Eastleigh theme.

Looks like a small plate compared to the one on the Dutch loco

I haven't got a decent side view of that end, but from here it looks quite a bit smaller, it may be because the Dutch one is metal and therefore raised.

physically, the one on 35 is smaller. A standard plate won’t fit

Looks like the plates are matched with the smaller spitfire diamond too. Shows out of stock but I am sure if you drop him a message Vince will be able to do you a set Andy.

Looks like there is room for a bigger one.

As you can see from this workbench pic, the fronts have cleaned up nicely, although I have lost one of those bluey stary things from this end.

I agree Peter, I think I would be loathed to part with them, even though they never went anywhere South to my limited knowledge, plus I can run them as a Pair or individually, I have a new set of Numbers coming for the Railfreight one, 20156 as they were almost gone.

[Andrew P]

Today I've also cleaned up the cab sides on the Sector 37 and Railfreight 20, ready to apply the new numbers that are coming this week.
