Wickham Green too Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 It's always tempting to try out a new loco straight out of the box ........ at least the tension locks have been removed ! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nova Scotian Posted March 29, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 29, 2023 Yeah I'm sorry, but they clearly got the compound curves on the cab of that 47 wrong, accentuated by the wrong paint finish. Look how flat and shiny it looks. Barely a step above Lima. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have said they were N scale cars, at the back of an OO layout. Ridiculous train, as well!! Loco & 1 EMU carraige??!!

Grizz Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Apologies in advance as this is probably more like ‘when the real thing looks like a model on my layout’. Woooohoooo….now I don’t only have Rule 1 at my disposal….I finally have an excuse for running my ex BR Seacow ballast hoppers with my DB Ludmilla. Albeit an ex USSR now DB Schenker Romania. Flipping great, they are even still in old BR Dutch livery…who’d have thunk it. I’ve included the same photo but with the details under the first one. Looks like he is loaded up for a trip to Three Bridges Yard, ready for the weekend possession work. Maybe they ran out of ballast at Meldon that week….bit of a long trip from Romania though. 😂 Big Up to TrainSimFan for the brilliant photos. Check them out if you get a minute. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
