Hi Arnie,

I was only saying to Ian yesterday that I fancy a West Coast 33 for my layout. Both WC locos look good in the shed.

 

Hope to bump into you at Eastleigh at some point.. Might go Tuesday....

 

Cheers

Scott

Hi Scott,

 

Thanks, yeah after seeing a few photos lately of 33029 in action recently around it's old stomping grounds i couldnt resist :) I have a DCR 56 arriving this week hopefully too!

 

The last few times i have been to Eastleigh Tuesday definately seemed to be the busier day, unfortunatley i'm back on shift from tomorrow otherwise i would have been down there. I'm off shift next Tuesday though so will probably be making a visit then.

 

Cheers

I modeled my Virtual Quarry on my Kingsmill Layout (see below) on that at Eastleigh, they had just started using it before I left the area.

Hi Andy,

 

Some nice pics there :) What i like about Eastleigh as Scott said is there is always something going on and there is a bit more variety than other locations i have been to, you are not always going to see endless sheds :)

 

Here's a few vids i took,

 

 

 

 

Cheers

You seem to be having the same idea as me when it comes to the fleet, I've got a little project on the go and both those locos are on my list..  Plus a DCR 31 etc..... 

 

I'm off next Tuesday but will have the latest addition to the Pitbull family with me so not sure how long he would tolerate the trains! I may see you there for a brief period.

 

Look forward to seeing the 56 on shed.

 

Cheers

Hi Arnie, that first Vid shows the real state of today's railways, there's no love or pride in the state of the wagons, just scrape off the old logo and put a sticker over it and that will do. Such a shame as the old departmental and Engineers stuff looked really good.

 

Its good to see some action there, I have quite a few more pics from Eastleigh and Maritime if you want me to post any on here for reference.

Hi Andy,

 

Yeah i agree it is shame :( Departmental dutch livery is one of my fav liveries, it looked great on both locos and wagons!

 

Would definately like to see some more of your photos of Eastleigh and Maritime.

 

Cheers

Evening,

 

Here's a pic of my latest arrival at Arnash. Euroshed Class 66062. I quite like the euro version because of the chevrons on the ploughs :)

 

And also another pic of the other arrival DCR 56303

 

Cheers

 

Arnie

I love the euro shed ... That may have just creeped it's way onto my want list !! Loving the up to date twist on things . I know a lot of people like to have a go at the current scene , but there is still some great stuff out there , as you are demonstrating !!

 

Cheers.

 

Marcus

Hi Marus,

 

Thanks, yeah i'm enjoying mixing things up lately with some current scene locos and stock. I think there is still quite a bit of variety out there, I'm going to be bringing things right up to date soon as i'm going to be receiving a Colas Class 70!

 

Cheers

Afternoon,

 

Had a little arrival yesterday in the form of Hornby's Sentinel shunter. I've just chipped it up, which was a little bit more tricky than i imagined and then gave it a little run on the layout. I'm going to be removing the branding on the side and changing it to something a bit more appropriate soon or i was thinking of naming it... maybe after the wife :)

 

Here's a pic.

 

Cheers

 

Arnie
