PatB Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Marvellous bit of film, made more so because Newcastle in the mid-80s is a very special place for me. Quite apart from the modellyness lent by the viewpoint, there is much of interest. Mixed rakes of loco hauled stock, shiny new 2nd generation DMUs in PTE livery and the odd (to my eyes; no doubt those more knowledgeable will tell me it was perfectly normal) mismatch between power cars and coaches on the IC125. Not to mention the reference material for roof weathering. Loved the 31 with single van too. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I'd almost forgotten what a fun place Newcastle was to be in the mid 80s and early 90s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP had a sentence continuing on from the title "But can the real thing look like a model" which for some reason has been removed. However, some great modelling work there.

RMweb Premium keefer Posted December 16, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 16, 2014 The one thing which 'grates' a little bit are the buildings just visible in the left background: http://www.railpictures.net/photo/510159 I thought that looked like edinburgh's princes st. gardens at first - Maybe Dave has bought some US stock to run on Waverley West!
