wandering blue Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Having been recently overcome with newbryford virus, have finally succumbed and ordered a NR yellow one. And now that Accurascale have launched the 37/0’s, am patiently waiting for the launch of an orange one. As they mention HNRC on their intro blurb, 37087 would be very nice! 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel trains around Manchester weren't overly common, but I saw a few pairs of these heading through Manchester towards Warrington, very rare around our area. I think there was a specific project going on as they only came through for a short period, one summer..37501+502 made it once, and promptly the Lima pair became extinct in our areas model shops, though I missed it. Looking at my Platform 5 I saw 37504,5,6,10,11,17,18,19.. as I never went to their territory its safe to say they came to mine, c1988-90. We used to regularly get Cardiff 37/9’s each week, I think once or twice weekly, as well as very ratty condition 37/0’s on steel from Scotland down the s&c to Blackburn and Bolton to Manchester again once, twice a week. 37037 Gartcosh being a regular and easy to remember.

Thing is knowing theres so many shades of green means it doesnt matter youve a few shades of green on your shed, as there was different shades of green on real sheds too. Theres little point applying direct science to a study of variables. Which green is the right one here ? None of them. They are all white. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
