RMweb Gold big jim Posted December 7, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 7, 2020 Is that pic of the odd ball conversion taken in Bescot? If so where about are we looking, north/south, up side/ down side? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted December 7, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 7, 2020 That’s where I was thinking too, I think you can make out the platform at bescot between the 31 and container 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like a Dutch one, but in service. If they can do one easily adapted either way that would be ideal 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted December 10, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 10, 2020 I’m personally hoping they get around to doing the 37 variants that were used in the Royal Scotsman. I’ve almost finished my coach conversions for the train and it would be great to be able to run them with hyper detailed class 37’s as well as Hattons new 66’s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stands on what was No 4 Upside reception which became No 4 holding siding when locos were stabled there. The stabling reverted to the Down holding sidings, and the these upside roads were lifted in order to place the VQ on the land. For completeness the road to the right of the picture which became No 5 holding siding was actually the engine run round road when it was used for humping over the upside hump. Over to the left you can see a freightliner train turning off the Up Main onto the Up goods beyond the Up platform.

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted December 10, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Okay, something a bit different. How about a bit of Network Rail radar love? Ansaldo radar frame on left, Hitachi radar frame on the right. Yes, we have tooled both! Again, witness marks will be polished out. Excited yet?
