Nice weathering. I think Railfreight looks especially good when weathered.

Great to see you today Al, If you want to post pics and info of that lovely big white beast on here, or any other bits, your more than welcome.

 

 

Yes it was good to see some familiar faces, will hopefully see you at Telford & our exhibition at Rawtenstall later in the year. Sorry I have not had chance to sit down with the laptop since the weekend, I don't like posting on here from my phone as I usually make a mess of it!

 

I assume you mean this 'big white beast' below, if so the the build information is here: 

 

Buzz Models IWA

 

I think I have found a couple still extant on the Network so I will hopefully be able to get some good photographs at some point to get some transfers made up.

 

Regards,

 

Al.

Thanks Dougal, I do enjoy my weather and I've done several articles for RM in the past.

I also have a fleet of about a dozen OO Gauge to grubby up when I can find the time and inclination. 

Plus I've quite a few OO and O Wagons to get filthy as well.

 

Thanks for looking in.

Hi Al, Yes that's the one, to big for my Layout but very nicely detailed all the same.

 

I'll be at Telford, but sadly not at Rawtenstall as I'll be away in Wales that week.

Don't tempt me Rich, I had that lovely Heljan 40 in Blue, but swapped it for a 61XX Steamer because I thought it was to big. Now I've got rid of all the Steam Stock, I would like another 40 or a 45 in Blue once I've saved up some more pennies, haha.

Wait until the class 33 appears again, you will want at least two ?

Forgot about that one mate.

[Andrew P]

With Kingsmill (Midland Road) TMD completed and ready to put on a well known Sales Site, and work on Mason Street, (Goods) drawing to a conclusion very soon, and to be moved on, work on here will re commence shortly.

I'm still looking for a Blue 40 or 45.

In the meantime, another pics or two from earlier in the week.

Hi Andy,

Love your layout, locos and weathering and how its developing. Iv opted for end of steam and diesels on my small end to end layout, so as such my blue Cl 40 will never see use of my layout as its far to big and wrong era, you still looking for one?

regards

Julian.

Hi Andy,

Some smashing weathering work there, buddy! (I really should stop looking at your 7mm stuff!).

Sounds like you've got another dirty diesel lined up, how about a Peak next? I have been so tempted by these, I nearly succumbed when HJ brought them out, I'll have to make do with the smaller one though.

Good to see you and George (& John!) yesterday!

Cheers,

John.

[D6775]

Looks like you've found yourself a blue 40 then Andy. I'll be having a couple more 37's soon!

Young Andrew spoke with me on the tellingbone earlier today. He has broken his flip flop's battery so won't be posting on here for a while. He has off loaded sold the two 4mm scale layouts.  I will let him tell you all the other news when power is restored.

Yes I thought the forum had broken down.
