w124bob Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) As promised weeks ago! A Fairburn tank, Low Moor 42141 complete with red smokebox number plate is in charge of a local passenger train. New to Saltley in 1950 it transfered to Normanton in 1952 and spent the rest of it's career in West Yorkshire, finally being withdrwan from Low Moor in 1967. The model has home made front steps from a lenght of signal ladder, Railtec did the numbers (incl smokebox) and there is a Modelu crew in there. Just fire irons to add to the watertank top, real coal and front buffere beam detail. Third image is from the Flickr album with more images, just click to sse the full set.

w124bob Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) It's taken a couple of weeks to get this pair of retooled Bachmann class 20's to the point where I'm happy with their appearance. Both were Tinsley engines in the 70's, being given dual brakes around 1979 and along with 20144/145 were that depots only dual braked examples for a few years. Whilst the class made fairly regular visits to Healey Mills from either York or Sheffield, the class rarely crossed the Pennines even in later life. So I'm stretching things a bit here, but I have a soft spot for these venerable old engines. Edited July 13, 2022 by w124bob 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

w124bob Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 For sometime 25321 was the only TOPS 25 on my fleet, however I've now renumbered for a second time another Heljan cl25 so 321 will be joined by 25323. Pictures coming soon. A second class 47 has also joined the TOPS fleet, pictures on the Bachmann retooled class 47 thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
