Although this is an old Pic from July, and pre final Ballasting and fixing the walling, I thought I'd include it today as we haven't had any Grid action for some time, so 56047 is seen leaving the Sidings.

So I got the Fuji out today for the Mag Photo Shoot.

Thanks Martin, Unfortunately the Fuji broke yesterday in the same place as my previous one, the battery holder clip, so it must be a weak point in the design, so I'm back to a big elastic band around it.

And still 47199 is in the Yard.

I was thinking with all that yellow on them was the painter called Van Gogh?

Those 37's would look good between a pair of 7mm snow ploughs. Didn't I read somewhere that the Flangeway 4mm model is being upscaled?

And I can imagine the price as well, good job I haven't got room for them, and before you say it, NO not even ONE. Haha.

Flangeway have announced one and its not too bad a price, they're aiming for just under £95. Quite a bit less than my MM1/JLTRT kits!

NINTY FIVE SODS? I hope they have two motors, lights, and sound for that price, haha.

 

Mind you, compared to  Catfish price, I guess that's not to bad really.

 

Yours looks superb with that pair of Tractors Al.

I've got a triang (1960s) snowplough you can borrow mate.

 

I can even look up where it's stashed now, as we have virtually completed

the stock inventory. Don't you think I'm brave letting the Mrs get involved?

 

(Sorry only blue / grey is about 3 Hornby (1980s?) mk 2s and a class 29 of

similar vintage.)

 

All the best, and stay safe

If I can make one in a proper modelling scale Andy should be able to make one in big boys toys scale.

 

 

An 08 converted to a show plough (I think it started life as a Wrenn model) , scratchbuilt BR plough and a scratchbuilt North Eastern Region plough.

Oops!

 

That's what I get for being too clever. I think I might have a couple

of oil drums in 7mm, not quite the same though.

LJ's got enough of those to lean on thanks, haha.

A quick dash down to Seven Mills on my walk as I heard the sound of a 33 coming down from the Top Yard and just caught 33012 with a short Engineers Train. Very nice.
