Fantastic photo mate!

 

The detailing is great and I really like the look of the Network Rail 57/3s on the de-icer train! Have you made the two de-icer wagons yourself? They look good top and tail the 57/3s. I still can't decide what livery is better suited to the 57/3s. The NR Yellow looked smart but the Revised DRS livery also looks good. It's a shame that there isn't 57/3s in both liveries! I'm looking at buying some Revised DRS 57/3s :no:

 

Are they 57305 and 57306 in the photo? Have you got any other NR 57/3s?

 

Keep up the good work with the layout, detailing and the realism of how your locos and stock look :no:

The only DRS 57 I have so far is 57011 which is the standard Bachmann model. I bought this around 6 years ago from Ehattons.

 

I haven't currently got a layout as it's been dismantled a few months ago. Therefore I cannot test any new locos that I buy so I haven't bought any Revised liveried DRS 57/3s as yet. Recently (since the layout was dismantled) I have bought nine new coaches. Six of these are DRS Compass MK2s and the other three I bought from R3Sprays on Saturday at Kingmoor are ScotRail MK2s. I have been buying new coaches just because they don't need testing unlike locos. I am hoping to buy three or four of them when I have a layout built back up because I haven't ever owned a Class 57/3 and I think they look really good in the DRS Revised livery.

37219 looks fantastic!

 

I think I'm going to have to resist with the Colas 37s because I am concentrating on my DRS loco fleet. Hoping to buy five DRS 37s, three DRS 57/3s, some Class 68s and 66434. If I was to start with Colas 37s I would be wanting at least two to run top and tail a test train.

 

Have you also got a 37421 in Colas livery?
