Joking aside, are you all enjoying the cleaner air and the increased birdsong with the reduced traffic? Now would be an excellent time to cancel all most off the commuter trains and get the freight back on the rails, then we can cancel HS2 and convert all the motorways to railways? Well, its sound s good, but what am I under the influence of?? Take care, stay safe and keep modelling (and posting!) Best regards Paul 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted May 8, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 8, 2020 How about a pair of 45xx? I have seen mention of pairs of 45s used on the Exeter Plymouth services 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post gwrrob Posted May 8, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) I really like the buff livery on oil tankers and have this pair which have the build date of late '20s. So a bit of modelling licence is used to run these. Here is a comparison for weathering purposes as this example was done many years ago by @mattingleycustom.

Ribird Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 If @gwrrob doesn’t mind this, here is one of my first two locos that I’ve ever renumbered. The other being a S100 from Sunshine British Railways to Sunshine Southern livery. Transfers were from Precision Labels. This one being a Great Western 48xx from DJ models renumbered/reliveried into GWR 1412. Plates from Narrow Planet and transfers from Fox. This model sure looks superb now, I’m glad I had the courage to go about this, can’t wait to do more now 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted May 12, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 12, 2020 Nice mixed livery rake with the Castle. An 8F doesn't have to be a Swindon built one. Most of the 8Fs in GW service were built elsewhere. A copy of Lyon's shed book will tell you which 8Fs were where in our timescale, and then from the numbers you can work out whether and RTR 8F will do or whether you need to modify to make it a Swindon built version. If you don't have the Lyons shed book, drop me a PM and I will let you know what was where in Devon. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically I've just started to erect the frames for a 7mm Mitchell version of a 512 Class on my workbench.... I'll stick with 4mm atm! I do have a 58xx as a spare part loco when the time comes this one or another one gives out. Don't quite have the disposable income to go up a gauge, but those new Dapol 14xx's look mighty fine. And a Terrier wouldn't hurt! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
