Cunningham Loco & Machine Works Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Nice ballasting and scenicking on that diorama; you can't hardly spot the edge beyond the fence. But did they have to spoil it with that pristine grounded van? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted September 19, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 19, 2021 I don’t mind the van per se, but having it in factory condition looks stupid. Needs weathering to be even vaguely plausible. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No weathering and grime for them, except for the wrecks that they have yet to restore. It should always look like it just arrived from Swindon (or whichever works suits your preferences...). No rust, no rot, no faded paint. Welcome to preservation land. I've been watching the GWSR volunteers beavering on the newly constructed footbridge at Broadway station. The care and attention to detail is awe inspiring - and the number of coats of paint applied almost beggars belief. They are defying weather and rot to spoil their new creation. Yours, Mike. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the original Eddie Stobart liveried one that came to grief at Carrbridge on its first run out (IIRC) when the brakes froze. It was pulled apart to retrieve it from amongst the trees at the crash site, and spent quite a while at Toton, where I think it got painted like that. I guess Stobart wouldn't want the name left on a bent and twisted loco, not a good advertisment.... A similar thing happened to a GBRF loco in Scotland due to a landslip, but that one was cut up on site, with the engine and number now being reused. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't be Lima 1980, because the fans are correctly off-centre - no matter how good Shawplan etches are!! Also can't be Hornby for very obvious reasons!!! It can't be Heljan in OO or O - in OO no one fitted the brake gear if they wanted their Western to turn corners, and in O the headcode boxes are a smidge too low - although AFAIK some modellers have corrected this. Nothing in N gauge is THAT good, so.... must be Dapol OO, possibly with Shawplan etches.... Dons tin hat & waits to be informed of everything wrong with the Dapol Wessie (as I never read the rather long Thread about it on RMweb).... 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
