Then from the south comes Sir Nigel Gresley with the 1018 KX-Leeds. Yet again the images get transposed. 33 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted June 21, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2022 A new arrival at PN today. Strictly speaking, it should not be here, but I'm not quite that strict. I thought it would be good to be able to reflect the full 20th century development of ECML power, so I now have a C1, the Pacifics, and their final replacement. Pinza and the C1 will be seen only occasionally, but Deltics did roar through the old PN for a few years, so with a full rake of maroon stock behind, that will happen now and then. Whichever I chose would have been wrong, so I decided to go a little further into their lives, and have a named one. Brilliant model, and startlingly good presentation and packaging. It will go to Tim, who will know where to put all the bits I can hardly see, and just give it a slight patina of wear. 32 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwealleans Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) These things are far too modern for me, you understand, but having wandered into a thread by accident a few weeks ago, I'd wager it's by Accurascale.

Hi Gilbert Its still a stunning model, I did not know accurascale supplied a Deltic, certainly one to consider as like you I am modelling 1957/58 but will make an exception to have a Deltic of that quality and I believe Deltic’s were at Haymarket in 1961/62 period.

These are going to New Clee, behind one of New England's more run down B1s. The better ones are all on passenger duty, including the Skegness trains. 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted June 22, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2022 Next in is the first of the normal E.Lincs expresses. This is the one that started from Grimsby, but normally some of hours earlier than this. 61098 will occupy Platform 2 for five minutes, 1150 to 1155 if on time. Very soon afterwards comes the 1028 KX-Scarborough, which should be at Platform 3 from 1157 to 1203. A hectic few minutes for the station staff. 35 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted June 23, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2022 The B1 is still at Platform 2, and the first shot must have been taken from an upstairs window on Station Road. The second one is from a more familiar viewpoint, but the photographer would need a permit to get there. 36 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
