WCML100 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Thank you very much for the information. It looks like I could buy a Colas 60 then I really like the Hornby Colas 56s. I think the sound version of the Hornby Colas 56 was due for release today but not sure if it has. The only problem about buying these would be that I would also have to buy a rake of steel wagons to run with them. They have been seen on engineers rakes also i even can link a picture of this: http://www.tauntontrains.co.uk/images/2014-JAN/56113-07-01-13-6Z28-WSB-HACKNEY-BATHPOOL-SM.jpg You see these on the logs as well: http://www.tauntontrains.co.uk/images/2013-JAN/56094-09-01-13-56094-6Z52-CHIRK-TEIGNGCE-40STEPS-BP.jpg And if you have a rake of the longer type Tankers (TEA's) you can run a colas 56 with them too: http://dc699.4shared.com/img/TNCv41AJ/s7/1417497fde0/IMG_3694.JPG?async&rand=0.15756121440790594 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted May 19, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 19, 2015 Thank you for the help. Its very much appreciated. I don't think I have seen a picture of a Colas 56 on engineers before so that's very good! Its also good that its hauling NR Yellow JNAs as these are some of the new wagons that I am planning on buying. I think a Colas 56 would look very smart with them! Might be worth investing in a Colas loco or two then Thanks again for all of the help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hybridangel77 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 The Colas locos look very smart mate...i did fancy some colas locos but i am shying away from most modern trains now as i only seem to have a passion for the 80's 90's stock and all my modern stuff just sits on a shelf....i have even thought of selling all my modern stuff. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejab95 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Just found this thread! Some cracking stuff mate, I also have to admit that Class 37 in Colas is very smart indeed! I really like the motorway bridge how it cuts across the layout, never seen it pulled off as well as it has on your layout. Cheers, Joe. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
