Nick G Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 Trying to collect and model bits for my next O gauge micro layout. Coming a bit more up to date with a DB/EWS fuel point around 2021. Using photos of Tees Yard, Peal Forest and Immingham fuel points as inspiration. I have noticed most of the fuel points have 20' containers for storage painted in DB red and one at Peal Forest still has it's MSC yellow roof from its previous use. Peak Forest and Imminghan also have a container with a cut away side used I think for the storage of bags of sand for the loco sanders. Anyway here is a work in progress DB red container with it's MSC coloured roof and the next container that I will attempt to cut the side out. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nick G Posted October 29, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) @37114 Here you go Rob, still work in progress. 60065 the only non refurbished 60 in service in 2022. EWS branding removed and DB sticker fitted, numbers faded to white. The first loco for my next project.

jonas Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 It’s interesting the ‘dirty end’ of the loco must’ve had a bit of clean in the pic of the real thing - but the exhaust grime is still so ingrained in the panel lines. You’ve captured that well! 60s usually have one cab roof covered in exhaust and the other much less so. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole loco was reasonably clean, I think it was cleaned and the paint touched up in places if you study photos of the prototype. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah - certainly under the bodysides grill on the pic posted. Obviously not the roof though! Looking great Nick. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This loco is one of my favourites because about 10 years ago I raced it down Tinsley marshaling yard in my Mondeo! I was visiting the warehouse building that was built on the yard and we were driving round the service road at the back.. 60065 was alongside and set off Light engine as I came round the corner so I decided to catch it up, I think I clocked 30mph before I got past! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick G Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 Wagon Wednesday (is that a thing?) POA Blackadder 51 Tonne scrap wagon kit built by Will Thompson. May have to give it some weathering but fits in nicely for the 1990 -93 era of the layout. 10 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick G Posted November 10, 2023 Author Share Posted November 10, 2023 08702 shunts a YCV Turbot wagon. I don't know why it has a red band around the top but I modelled this from a photo of the prototype . Not sure if this is a unique colour scheme but I haven't come across any photos of any others like this? 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick G Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 I was never a huge fan of class 50's but I do like the GBRf livery. 50007 'Hercules' owned by The Class 50 Alliance but available to operate selected GBRf trains on a ‘spot-hire’ basis. 50007 is a bit special as in mid-2021 one side of 50007 was temporarily re-designated as 50034 'Furious' as a thank you to GBRf charter manager Paul Taylor for his prostate cancer charity fundraising efforts. Furious was his favourite class 50. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Mine failed as it mostly does from the start. I would like another 73, like you will wait to see if they reduce the prices for shelf space. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep looking at the Intercity ones as they're what I remember when my Dad would take me of to London via the mule for a day. Doesn't really fit with the Scottish fleet, but then neither does 33051 or 58044! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
