dp123 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Looks like 977995 at the back (distinctive light grey roof) The battery car 977996 still exists - in the grounds of Bachmann UK at Barwell....... Hayabusa 43089 is now back in normal use with East Midlands Trains. The extra test vehicle used was when it was being trialled at the Great Central was mk2 977974 (previously with the NMT and still carrying it's blue stripes - since been converted back to loco-hauled configuration and is now TIC2, replacing the previous TIC - 999508) Cheers, Mick RIP 999508! I worked its last shift. Fond memories of bouncing around in the worlds fastest greenhouse. Just before I left Derby I looked around it in the yard, and inside was exactly as it was left when we locked the doors at London Bridge for it to run empty to Hither Green, including the newspaper bought on the day.

railtec-models Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 For those who have asked, here's the revised version of the Network Rail HST NMT transfer pack which should hopefully cater for everything - including spares. Even contains all the small detail. Pack 4mm-2044 available here. Right, we're off to hopefully get a photo of DRS 37403 leaving Derby with our vinyls on it!

RMweb Gold big jim Posted May 3, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 3, 2016 i think i'm going to have to do the 950 unit conversion at some point, i was resisting it but quite like it in its new livery and it may well be on my traction card one day!

RMweb Gold big jim Posted May 4, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 4, 2016 Quite look forward to it if it happened, my basic traction with FNW used to be 150/1 anyway so I've got the basics in with units Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saving grace was that it goes to some really nifty places if you're a bit of a track scratcher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted May 4, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 4, 2016 I dunno, doing the UTU is quite mind numbing, everywhere at 30mph, did all lines (fast/slows) on the wcml from Milton Keynes to crewe last week over the course of 3 nights!

RMweb Gold big jim Posted July 14, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 14, 2016 Noticed that on Monday while in the yard, one of the more elaborate designs! Once railtec do those as a decal I'll get some for my SGT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWhippyO Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I've just seen a photo of 37254 with the MENTOR in the background, I notice it seems to have got in on the act with the new decals. Found this one on Flickr. Cheers, James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
