As you can probably tell, yes I like my 37s.Here's a couple more I took tonight. I've touched the steps in on the poles so now they just want a good weathering......... 20118 catches the late evening sun as it arrives light engine with 20096 37156 arrives with empty Alumina tanks 37229 arriving with a rake of autoballasters.

Love the shot with the sunlight through the trees[/quotSome cracking shots there Marcus, and the telegraph poles look great. Love the shot with the sunlight through the trees Thanks Al That's the trouble with where the layout is situated I only get the sun late in the evening as it's against a North facing window. In the winter I don't even get that. So thought I would get the photo whilst the opportunity presented itself. The telegraph poles are getting there. Just need some suitable weathering now.

Module00 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Good evening Marcus, Your layout is magnificent. And you have many beautiful locomotives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Unfortunately it's all a bit barren on the modelling front at the moment, but I couldn't resist posting some photo's of this little beauty. Especially when my wife took pity on me and took £60.00 out of her purse and said go on treat yourself. It must of been my forlorn looking face when I saw they had been released. I had promised that I would get one after we had come back from our family holiday. (That's when I was expecting them to be released) At the rate they are selling I think it would have been to late!! Any way here she is below having a run out with 37025. I can understand why Bachmann have been careful with the numbers of these produced as it's something your unlikely to want more than one of. But I noticed the Liverpool and Sheffield box shifters have already sold out and my local model shop where I purchased mine was down to his last two. Seems there may be a few disappointed people out there shortly. A bit like the Polybulk situation. Another thing I will say, it may seem the price is a bit steep but the detailing is absolutely exquisite and for a one off in the collection it is definitely worth it. Hopefully there'll still be some Blue & Grey 101s kicking about when I get back from our hols. I don't think the forlorn looking face will wash with that one LOL!! Cheers Marcus.

Andrew P Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hi Marcus, some great pics there mate, very nice, I do like the Blue period, its when I first started watching trains, Aug 1977, a very good year but HATED BR Blue back then, thought it was boring so ended up modeling German, Swiss and Austrian for the colour and Fleismann running qualities etc. All the best.

Marcus 37 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 I know your really busy helping your friend, just popperdin to say hi, hope you are all well. Hi Folks Sorry haven't been around for a while. Unfortunately one of my best friends, best man at my wedding and friend of 30 years, has had an unexpected health problem recently. Unfortunately most of my free time is taken up at the moment trying to help him as much as I can. He is starting to get better but it could still be a while yet before he is fully fit. Until then the modelling is on the back burner for the time being. Jaz, thank you for the kind thoughts and yes I am well in myself along with Di & Anthony. Hope you, Kal and the rest of the family are well too. See you soon Marcus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Andy. Hopefully normal service will resume shortly. There's even some telegraph poles in the paint shop at the moment ready to complete the phone lines down to the station. Just going to order some of those speed restriction signs as well from Ten Commandments as you recommended sometime back. Regards Marcus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
