pwr Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Good one (or two!) Andy Just been notified of the second batch of class 50's from two of our larger retailers. As I missed out first time round I have pre-orders a large logo version Paul R 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold kipford Posted July 3, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 3, 2020 Just been round Andy’s to pick up some wagons I bought off him and saw the new toys. The weathered 33 is very impressive for an out the box loco. The NSE one will look great once Andy has worked a bit of magic on it. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that NSE needs some grime on the Roof and Bogies, and the Blue weathered one just a little finishing off on the Bogies and Tanks etc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwr Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I have actually got an old Parkins model of a 50 in blue - bought it back in the early 80's. Its not bad as a model but I haven't run it in ages. I'll dig it out an pose it for a photo Paul R 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gismorail Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Temptation Mr Peters well I suppose it's allowed just this twice after all you have moved into Crompton territory havin't you ......and I can only think that the new ballast has been authorised by the PW department as there's more money down south for track improvements bet it gave Lazy Joe something to watch or has he found a posh retirement home 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6775 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Those 33's do look rather nice. I have been very tempted myself, but resisting so far. There is a rake of MK2 coaches and a couple of 47's to save up for!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Julian, I remember standing around Starcross near Exeter, when I saw the first NSE Livery on Hoover, and was gobsmacked. I was doing continental at the time so wasn't even aware of it's being. It then obviously took nearly a decade for Lima and Hornby to introduce the Livery for Modellers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SR had a reputation for keeping its Class 33 clean inside and out and I don’t recall them being as dirty as that BR blue one. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I do not dispute your comments there is always a prototype for anything, reasonable match I think.

And looking over the wall at Fratton as I often did in my Lunch Hour, I cant remember seeing many clean ones, if any at all, but then I was looking down on to the Roofs mainly. These are NOT one of my Photos, but from of George T of this parish. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted July 4, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 4, 2020 Morning Andy As your willpower seems low at the moment, did you see the Heljan announcement yesterday? I’ve already succumbed to temptation and ordered two! A correct coloured NSE one to do Temeraire and a black roof Large Logo to be Ajax. Need to decide what to do with the other one now, Lion possibly. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
