Looks good and quite prototypical, quite a few of the owner drivers on container work have ex Stobart kit, the rates on containers are not the best so it is hard to justify brand new vehicles. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianmacc Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I wouldn’t like to live on your layout with all those HGVs thundering past! Nice skills though. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprintex Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) Excellent work As an ex-Artic driver myself though there IS a glaring omission, especially with the unit and skeletal combination . . . . . . suzies! I did these ones in N gauge, so shouldn't be too difficult to replicate in 00. Edited May 11, 2019 by Sprintex 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also some manufacturers have yet to get fitting such things as mirrors to their models. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Cockburn Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Nice collection of HGV's etc. you've got there, and nicely weathered. I think that after I've completed weathering work on my locos, I may just give some of my own road vehicles "the treatment", for they appear a bit "toy-like", and a bit of toning-down will I'm sure enhance their appearance .... 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
