Popular Post Steadfast Posted February 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2023 We'll go for a few more shall we? A few of the forthcoming Cavalex O&K boxes in here, behind a trio of Revolution JNAs. 60044 'Dowlow' is sat in Westbury Down Yard waiting its 05:00 departure with 7O35 to Fareham. The 16 boxes won't challenge the 60, but it was a regular turn that the trio of 60s took on whilst in the area during summer 2019. Dapol O&K JHAs. Overnight freight trains often have the luxury of running early. 60001 was over two hours early getting back to Westbury with 7V98 from Eastleigh. However, once it got to Merehead it would be sat waiting for the morning shunter to book on and let it in, so the driver elected to wait at Westbury for a couple of hours, where the driver's cabin is better equipped than that at Merehead. Having run round and ready to go closer to right time, 60001 sits under the yard lights at Westbury on a set of O&K hoppers. 7V98 is the return working of 7C59 and 7O43, the Merehead - Westbury (run round and headcode change) - Eastleigh stone. Something BBA based - BLAs? 60019 rolls through Cardiff Central with a load of steel coils in tow on 6H27, one of the trips from Margam to Llanwern. Forthcoming Dapol ARC JHAs. 60013 'Robert Boyle' rounds the curve at Crofton at the head of 6A74 Whatley - Theale. It was a mad dash across Wiltshire for this, from memory (and a quick Flickr search) there were quite a few people here for this one! Bachmann BYAs 60024 passes Gateway West Junction with its train of BYAs on 6E01 Wolverhampton Steel Teminal - Boston Sleaford Sidings None of the TEAs modeled by Cavalex but a multicoloured selection, mostly of the type done by Revolution. 60059 has a light load of only 14 loaded tanks in tow as it approaches Westerleigh Junction with 6B13 Robeston - Westerleigh Oil Terminal. The train would have to run north and run round at Gloucester before heading south to gain access to the Westerleigh branch. Despite all the 4mm malarkey being a bit big and grown up for me, I'm thinking an EWS one done up as number 65 might look nice in the cabinet. Though I guess I'd have to get myself scanned by Modelu to finish it off 😉 It's amazing how 60065 keeps hanging on, this was 2019 and it still did mainline trips in 2022's Sandite season. One of my favourite Tugs with its fading, patch painting and rather large nameplates. Jo 19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Hell , I'm old enough to remember that one being named in Birmingham . What it would have been i'd all the ships with the 66s on board had been torpedoed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysan Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Crikey! I am starting to feel old! I remember the Lima model that was released in 1990 and the reviews of the Hornby model claiming it to be the best OO model of its time and a game changer. It looks like we are on the 3'rd generation of loco's and I wish Cavalex all the best with this one. Wondering if any loco has gone through 4 remodels. Time to model Snotrag sidings I think.

keysan Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Hi Roy, I must admit, I did miss the Lima 08. In my day it way an 09. Good call though! Wren may have had one and of course Kit master,.

RMweb Premium railfan60 Posted February 23, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 23, 2023 Excellent news regarding Cavalex forth coming release of their class 60 models. As a big fan of class 60s, most of the initial release of Cavalex class 60 livery’s models I have as Hornby class 60 models. If the Hornby models were “average”, I would have no hesitation in replacing them, however I don’t believe that is the case. (I could be proven wrong?). Also the cost of replacement unfortunately is a fact for me in these challenging “economic” times. Might not Cavalex have released a livery not done by Hornby as part of their initial release?(I know there would be very limited examples, I can only think of 3 livery’s: DCRail, DB60074, DB60062) I certainly will be purchasing their model, however it might be a later releases.

Actually quite a lot have been done 4 times… some models (25/66) has 3 currently in production.. only counting true “new” toolings, rather than upgrades, 37 & 47 & A4 is upto 7x rumours persist the 08 is to goto 6x many are at 4x… Edited February 23, 2023 by adb968008 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
