Gloucester Road Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 The postman took delivery of his new Ford Transit Van today, he was so proud of it he took a picture of it as he started his rounds. By the end of the day it wasnt so shiny anymore, looks like it might need a wash. Stephen 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Wintle Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Half way through a 50 mile bike ride I ran across this at a road crossing in Milford NH That is a nice GP40. Ex Penn Central and Conrail. The box on the walkway at the short hood (nose) end is the equipment box for the cab signals used on the former PRR lines. Adrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloucester Road Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 DRS now have some work to do as nuclear waste can now be hauled on NSEr rails in these weathered FNAs Stephen 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloucester Road Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Management at NSEr is always on the lookout for new (to us) NSE branded stock that they can bring into the stable of Network Southeast railways, so when they heard rumours of 47715 being available they jumped at the chance to get a hold of this loco. They heard it was at New Street yard, a small loco repair shop run by enthusiasts of NSE. So they flew in the company helicopter to have a look. After landing they made there way down to the fitters and though lightly used and weathered it looked to be in pretty good condition. Their first view was from the overbridge and things looked promising. Once they were down the entrance road it looked really good So there were some calls made back and forth to the accounting office and upper management and soon the deal was completed. One of our party lived nearby and sent some photos of the loco leaving from in the tunnel mouth. This was the picture we took as we were lifting off headed back to HQ Having seen the pictures of the loco the Boss at NSEr was so happy to have found 47715, the fitters had managed to get the buffer beam detail and the NSE brand onto the front. Soon 477715 will be at NSEr TMD ready for its first outing.

Gloucester Road Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 With all the excitement over 47715 nobody paid any attention, other than me, to a very clean 37409 leading the new FNA wagons off for their first job. Stephen 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloucester Road Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Today was the day that 47715 had a run on the mainline under its own power. I managed to catch it the sun at Crossland station. and one of my favorites stephen 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted July 2, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) I couldnt resist buying one of the NSE class 47's. Found a spare decoder for it this morning so it might be on the test track tonight. No real use for it but it looks great.

Gloucester Road Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Spent a pleasant couple of hours today at a local show put on by Concord Model railway Club (trainweb.org/cmrc) mostly sellers with a few layouts scattered about. Nice to see familiar faces and catch up with folks whom one only tends to see a few times a year at these events. Also got my yearly fix of operating an HO DCC sound fitted loco on a freinds layout depecting the nearby town of Milford NH. Makes me wonder about switching to DCC and sound each time I operate it. This local dealer was there ( http://modeltechstudios.com/index.aspx)loads of small detail stuff for many scales. Clearly intended for US layouts but some stuff could end up on a UK layout..... I picked up some detail parts for the TMD, Angus Builders and Milford Cement & Sand. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted August 24, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 24, 2015 Had a quick look at that site. Some interesting items. Particularly like the N scale homeless man. Might have to give him a home on Santa Barbara. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanks522 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Hi Stephen, Liking the latest photo's, Lose the 08 in the last photo's and you've a lovely 1990's picture. Graham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloucester Road Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Once 08921 was fixed and moved off attention was given to 47474, looks like it might be some serious work needed. The shed was full so some of the work was done outside on the hard standing. Once some locos had moved off from the shed 47715 was brought in to drag 47474 to the shed (a bit more 1990s maybe:-)) Stephen 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
