Swifty11 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 You bt me in the 57 stakes lol I could do with more... all the drs 57/3s and more 57/0s... And 6s... 309, 307 and 312 coming over Christmas I also have 57312 in Neverwork Fail livery. Love it, now for sound 312 will have sound on board as its the Virgin one but I'm going to renumber it probably, hopefully, to 57310 Kyrano, or a more appropriate model for the 2003 era Im modelling, don't know 312 would be in traffic with a dellner.

Sacriledge. Cav There are loads of 47s... Plenty are preserved and also if they weren't overhauled and given new engines I honestly believe they would have been scrapped or rotting away in a siding. The 57 is the only good GM and can put in a good performance when in notch 8! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 Haha I was only talking in jest. You are right they would be scrapped or in preservation only if not overhauled. Still miss the sulzer engine noise!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still miss the sulzer engine noise!! Having seen the pendolino drags back in 2005 there was an event when one of the thunderbirds couplings broke so they stook it into full power and shunted into platform 10 and 57307 came to rescue it and the driver (legend) stuck it onto full power and blasted on the horn (at this point nearly 20 late!) out of platform 11 of Crewe!
