Hi Peter, Thanks very much Yeah i went for 113 because of the NSE sticker on the front which i thought was an interesting addition to model. 113 is the last one for now. There is still a few i would like to do though Vampire being one of them because of the Black Tinsley nameplate, and also Apollo looked cool with the blue backed Tinsley plate Cheers Arnie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one for sale on ebay which ended yesterday evening but I got tied up and forgot until it was too late! Cheers Grimley Yeah i did see that one on there someone snapped it up at the last minute. I see there is another TMC one on there though with 5 days to go, 45002 looks very nice!! Keeping an eye on it but with others i've seen, they have gone for silly prices!! I wish Bachmann would just bring a sealed beam marker light variant out in there normal model run instead of limited editions. It looks like it would be a good seller with all the demand for them.

Arnington Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Some more nice pictures i see.......

Arnington Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Hi, Managed to get some of my lights wired up, still got the fuel point, portacabins and depot building to do.

RMweb Premium mirreles31 Posted March 13, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hi, your layout looks great, you appear to have an interest in Tinsley loco namers so heres a couple of photos I took many moons ago on the scrap lines down in the main yard. Vampire Mercury Both were taken on 25-4-1990 and they were looking in a sorry state . Hope you might get some use from them. Cheers Phil. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Phil, Some great pic's there thanks, sad to see them in that state but they will come in very handy as Vampire is the next Tinsley namer i would like to do. Love the black painted nameplates on her Cheers Arnie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium mirreles31 Posted March 14, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi Arnie, you're welcome, I remember the day quite well I wasn't supposed to be lurking around in Tinsley yard but I just had to get some pics B) . These are the best of the bunch, if I get time I'll see if I can find the others and any worthwhile shots I'll post here for you. Sad to see it's all gone now even I'm not in Sheffield anymore!! There was another scrap line near Sheffield that I found and wished I'd had mi camera on me. Do you remember the 'Peak' that Tinsley painted green? well she was in a scrap line near Beighton Engineer's yard near Woodhouse Station, along with other 'Peaks' and a couple of 47s but sadly no pics! That was probably '88 or '89 cos I had my toddler daughter with me. I'm glad you've got an interest in the Tinsley namers they were lets just say "interesting". Cheers Phil.

RMweb Premium mirreles31 Posted March 15, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hi Arnie, a couple more shots for you- 45033 'Sirius' And somthing a little different 08 141 (I think!) 'Manvers' (that was a local colliery) Cheers Phil 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hi Arnie, I like the latest pics, lighting is something I need to do a bit more of on Llanbourne. I have always liked 45115 Apollo with its blue name, it was one of the last Peaks I saw in service, so might do a model one day. i have a model of 45150 but pre Tinsley name, I didn't know it had a black painted nameplate. I did the loco because of it having it's number on the front. Nice pics mirreles31. B) Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard60098 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hi Arnie, All looking superb there fela bin following this 1 a while now an luv your stock and loco's makes it even better with the lights added now adds the depth and atmosphere to the layout well! Nice stock too plenty of re-sprays i see, i must get a couple of peaks done myself including the green tinsley namer too. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Manvers' (that was a local colliery) Cheers Phil Hi Phil, Thanks again for some more pics A Tinsley namer gronk is also on my list to do! I've always had a real fondness for peaks even though i'm from down south and didn't get to see too many of them, perhaps that is the appeal of them and have always taken a real shine to the Tinsley namers. I do remember the green peak 106 i believe, shame that it didn't last long and had to catch fire I have another peak on it's way to me but it dosen't have the high intensity lamp fitted so gonna put Vampire back for the moment and turn this one into 45046 Royal Fusilier Cheers Arnie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Peter, Thanks I have been putting off the lighting for ages, I should of installed them when I started the layout but was to impatient at the time and wanted to get some trains running I have also got some signals to wire up which hopefully i'm gonna crack on with tonight.

RMweb Premium mirreles31 Posted March 15, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hi Arnie, glad photos are of use, Tinsley had quite a few named 'Gronks' in fact if you stood still too long at Tinsley depot you'd be repainted and named . I too have a soft spot for 'Peaks' they were the mainstay of passenger diagrams during my short lived spotting days ('76&'77). Unfortunately the Tinsley namers don't fit my steam/green diesel modelling era however I'm fancying 'Merrdyn Emryss' (if thats how you spell it ). Now that was their crowning glory (should have been a 'Peak' tho'!). I'm just waiting for my latest D55 'Royal Signals' , and I'll be in my elements again adding the requisite detailing, a special recipe from various sources B) . Anyway have fun at your depot Phil.

RMweb Premium mirreles31 Posted March 16, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hi Arnie, just dug out a couple more photos, sadly not 'Peaks' but Tinsley namers 47051 'Great Snipe' 47079 & 08880 'Darnall' (Darnall was a steam shed with diesel & electric facilities-now gone-I used to live round the corner from it .) an alternative name for your 'Gronk' project? As you can see at this time the 'Peaks' had gone and 47s reigned supreme! ('92-'93) Cheers Phil. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also planning on getting a BR Blue 47 done as 47002 Sea King in the near future. Planning on getting her done nice and battered just before she was withdrawn in 91. There are also some 37 Tinsley namers i would like to model one day also. Cheers Arnie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium mirreles31 Posted March 16, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hi Arnie, glad you like 'em. Just found this photo-a couple of gronks one is 08509 'Wath ETD' , I've been trying to fathom out what the other is something mill,hill or hall? Anyway I don't have any 37 namer shots, I can't actually remember seeing any but I didn't get up there very often. There were some 37s around in sector liveries thay were probably visitors and didn't stop long enough to be attacked by the Tinsley painter boys . And just look at the sad sight of all those dead locos that 31 on the left looks as though it's been on fire! I've just received my 'Royal Signals' so it looks like some detailing is in order. Happy Peak-ing Phil. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
