Wrighty Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hi Chris The maritime cabs were Oxford tractor units and then they were painted and transfered in maritime and the trailers were scratch built Hi, Thanks for this. Kind regards Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOMBATTY Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 A bit of an update on 37057 Cosmetically it has lost the "Viking " nameplates and the marker lights have a yellow surround. I didn't remove the High intensity lights...I thought I would do more harm than good. The bogies have been replaced and lowered and rewheeled, the new versions look good. Just add Couplings and hoses, and she can join 37216 Next Project is 47014 Just out of the Stratford paintshop today But more about that next time Mags Loves a Cockney Sparrow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Goldfish Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I reckon you have the ability to remove that light no problem big man Loving all the blue and large logo-ness, when's the catalyst for backing dating WL fully to the happy blue/large logo/sub sector era? (i will get those ffa/fga flats finished honest!)Edit: email coming that requires your attention to help me with that thing i'm doing, i'll appologise now if it's not easy to measure in it's current state!

trisonic Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Sorry that link goes to the MSC "Home" if you then look for "Container Specs" you'll see actual photos (and various measurements) of their various containers (which I found quite interesting).

Glorious NSE Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Ah fresh box pron! Plain boxes do seem to be getting more common, or is it just me? I've got a theory that because plain boxes are more forgettable we think it's plainer now, but in reality there were just as many 'plain jane' boxes about in the past, some of that due to 'decalling' technology I suspect...plenty of 70s/80s ones are no more complex livery-wise than a few initials on a logo panel.

You're probably right, and if it's not an item you're looking out for then the plain ones are a lot less noticable than ones with huge logo's on the sides. For example most remember the old freightliner boxes from that period because they were a big bright splash of colour. *edit cause i hit the wrong button before finishing typing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Goldfish Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Right boys and girls, i have a free pass from Friday lunch to do some hard-core train geeking! Where and when is my best shot for some intermodal action? Plus other interesting stuff of course! I'll be near the ECML at Huntingdon from 12 (it's a short shot up to Peterborough) and to get home i'll need to cross the MML and WCML near Milton Keynes with an option of shooting off to Didcot before getting back. Any advice as i don't get many chances?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious NSE Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 If you're shooting stuff then you'll run out of light before 4pm I suspect, which doesn't give you much time for a tour Peterborough in the afternoon should get you: 13.10 - EWS Wakefield-Felixstowe 14.25 - FL Doncaster-Felixstowe 14.40 - GBRF Felixstowe-Doncaster 15.30 - FL Leeds-Felixstowe 15.55 - GBRF Selby-Felixstowe All those are routed via Ely, so somewhere like Whittlesea? (Plus assorted other freights) - times from the latest Freightmaster book Bletchley (looking at RTT) http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/BLY/2013/12/12/1300-1600?stp=WVS&show=non-passenger&order=wtt I'd read that as 6 likely intermodals, including a DRS pair, in the same 1300-1600 time frame, so slightly more, but fewer non-intermodal freights.

WOMBATTY Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Just finished 47014 Allocated to Stratford may 1987 until march 1989. My finished 47014 I used a blue Vi Trains 47 for this project It has been resprayed Rail freight grey ,detailed and Shawplan lazerglaze fitted The wheels changed for EM Gauge, and a new pick up system made. It has an ESU v 3.5 sound chip fitted (needs an upgrade Bif) To fit the base a reflex speaker the main pcb has to be moved forward. In this Picture you can see the bar for the spratt and winkle couplings we use on Oldshaw. at the other end is a screw link...for the new layout. Oldshaw is a West Country Layout by Andrew Bartlett He would have a fit to see all these aliens on his layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
