Fredo Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Hi, How about 56042 with experimental CP1 bogies? Although I guess that’s altered tooling. Fred 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
w124bob Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I would love to see 56036, it's personal for me as this loco and I started our railway career together. Indeed I remember sitting in the mess room at Coalville waiting to be interviewed as the newly out shopped engine rolled past the window! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Walker Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Just got round to filming one of my class 56's the other day and thought I'd load it on here for you. This is 56049 Colas livery with tankers. A selection of Bachmann, Revolution and someone else's as well. (Cav/Alex, you will know!). Still need to do some weathering on the tankers and the loco for a bit more realism. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Alycidon Posted April 18 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 18 Sorry if I've missed this, I do follow the thread as best I can, but were the non-sound decoders that were being done (to the same specs as the sound (minus sound of course)) released? Happy to wait if not, just don't want to miss them. Thanks in advance for any replies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aureol40012 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Was online a couple of weeks ago when Rails put their last 56s on line, all of them being in-house weathered versions. I’m always a little cautious with “production line” weathering (they had lots available), but I have to say I’m chuffed to bits with what I got. Anyone know who did the weathering for them? 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The light colour weathering wash Just doesn't look right . This is how a weathered 56070 should look. However, each to their own.

rob D2 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I think the question I’d ask with rails is , “ show me the photo of that loco looking like that “. There’s a fair percentage of imaginary weathering going on ….what people think weathering looks like rather than the reality . Should always be based on the real loco I feel 1 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why you're pleased with it! Being honest, it looks quite heavy going but the bogies scream out dirty metalwork to me, especially with the cleaner exposed parts and the way it picks out Cavalex's attention to physical details in the bogie is particularly impressive. I remember seeing many locos looking rather worn over the years, especially those stored in yards which tend to look along the lines of the model you have. A loco towards the end of its life perhaps... maybe on its last freight outings? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
