298 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 With all the current talk of the AM73's failing, I thought i'd go ahead and try a few photos of some of my own stock rescuing a failed set. First up is a Bachmann GE 45 ton switcher in Sherbourne Valley Transportation colours: Anyone care to join in...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First up is a Bachmann GE 45 ton switcher in Sherbourne Valley Transportation colours: Anyone care to join in...? Very good - but can't wait until the YVT electric loco gets its turn! When I found the article in the Jan Model Railroader, I thought - ah, there's an RMWebber who would be interested here - then realised it was you! Well done!

pointstaken Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Trust you not to be caught with your pant(ograph)s down !! That YVT loco looks neat. Is it a kit, scratchbuilt or a conversion? It quite interests me. Dennis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It quite interests me. Dennis As Ian mentions above, there is an article about it in the Jan 2010 Model Railroader. It's a bit of a kitbash using a Cannonball Car shops Steeplecab kit on a Bachmann 44 tonner chassis, plus a few extra details. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted December 22, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 22, 2009 Here you go....: Lovely! Unless someone uses Stephenson's Rocket, I think you've now got two good candidates for the "least likely rescuer" award! I was delighted to read that you've actually had time at the controls of the real 298 - that must make modelling it all the more special. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointstaken Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Didn't know that was the latest one. Our Smiffs still has the 10 great model Railroads issue on their shelf. Thanks for the information, anyway. Dennis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was delighted to read that you've actually had time at the controls of the real 298 - that must make modelling it all the more special. I haven't got a HO scale Rocket or a 4mm Eurostar, so i'll leave that to someone else... Didn't know that was the latest one. Our Smiffs still has the 10 great model Railroads issue on their shelf. Thanks for the information, anyway. Dennis I believe Smiffs only have one Model Railroader-type publication on their shelves at any one time, so if there's a "How to" or GMR out the monthly issue is put back a bit. Hopefully it'll be on the shelves over here soon, I got my issue by Airmail a month ago... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
