Melangoose Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Hi Mark, I looked at my copy of this DVD this evening and the Spotlight on Shrewsbury reminded me of your Shrewford layout (which I know is inspiration). Class 37 on loco hauled, Cawoods empties, Scrap and Loaded Steel, Class 108, 150’s, Blue 31 on a Parcel, Large Logo 47 on a Euston train and a Steam Charter are all featured. Just Wondered if it was in your library. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interested to see that for sure I've not ran anything on the layout for a while due to loss of mojo & life events but hoping to back into it soon.

Best regards, Mark The good thing about our hobby is that you can pick it up or leave it depending on life events and your mood. I am sure that you will get back into it when the time is right. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977joey Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share Posted December 26, 2023 Hi Everyone, Well Happy Boxing day! Time for a small update here at Shrewford & that's to show the latest addition being 47628 'Sir Daniel Gooch' Here it is pulling into Platform 7 & then on departure on a Shrewford to London Euston InterCity service, which it will haul as far as Wolverhampton, where it will give way to an AC Electric.. Cheers for now, and if I'm not on here before, I wish everyone a Happy & Prosperous 2024! Mark 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris M Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Nice to see Sir Daniel on duty, looks good. It makes a nice change to all the banger blue and is very smart. I was tempted to get one of these for my 1980s set and very nearly ordered one this morning but I resisted. Instead I’ve ordered some filthy JIAs to provide a current day clay service to Stoke. Next job is to order a Revolution 66 in DB red. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, I was tempted but would have preferred it in the early GWR 150 days without the cab aerials which were added some time during 1988 I think. Would have been more tempted by 47484, but the tooling can't do the odd cab fronts apparently.... Does look nice on the layout though.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
