RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted March 28, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 28, 2020 17 hours ago, 'CHARD said: Maybe fortunately for you both, DRS does have a finite fleet It comes to something when you have a fair few DRS locos and it's still probably not even 30% of the fleet of real life locos that they have operated past and present haha. I never really even intended on buying so many DRS locos, but because I like their liveries it just seems as though the fleet has grown and grown in the past few years and what with the Bachmann 20/3s due in Q4 2020 and Accurascale Class 37s due in Q1 2021, it doesn't seem to be stopping their. I'm not sure exactly how big I think my layout is... Thank you. Kind Regards, Danny. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have used plastic card, did you watch videos on Youtube etc before you attempted anything or did you just buy some and have a go? I'm just trying to gauge how achievable it would be to get a decent enough looking result for a depot/shed area. Thanks in advance. Kind Regards, Danny. My depot I built on Banks road few years ago 2010 was built from same idea, in fact everything I build which has concrete look floor is from plastic card Danny...

Thanks neil.. Thanks for the photo mate and for letting me know. It looks really impressive especially with 37s on shed. This is definitely something that I'm going to research and look into more and hopefully I may be able to do something like this. It would definitely add much more of a depot feel compared to how my depot is at the moment. Kind Regards, Danny. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's brilliant news. I'm really looking forward to seeing this and of course the DRS traction that will be on it. At the moment anyone modelling/collecting DRS traction is very fortunate, because we are just spoilt with so many models that have either recently become available or will be available this year or next year.

Colas have nice traction too don't they! I have some positive news on that front too. I now have a Colas fleet again. A few years ago I dispensed with the only Colas loco that I had which was ViTrains 47739, just because it was the older, more original ViTrains tooling before any modifications/upgrades were made e.g the Rail Exclusive 47s. So for a a few years after I had sold that 47 I didn't have any Colas locos, but now I have a few again, at the moment all of them are new and still in their boxes until I have some suitable rolling stock to run with them. Can't wait to see the DRS and Colas traction. Some really nice locos and liveries. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
