I always though 028 looked good with the full Belgium ends They were covered in issue 183 of Rail. I managed to get a copy from Ebay and here they are! Quite scary that it is over 30 years old!

cairnsroadworks Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Another DB 90 off the workbench in the guise of glider 90037. Looks good with all the decals on it. Pristine at the moment. It might get weathered! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 97406 Posted February 3, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2023 If you Google for these, then they are going for less than £140 - DCC ready from a number of retailers. It'd be rude not to! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James90012 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I'm also waiting for a discount of sorts on 90129, I got caught out with paying full price plus collectors club membership for 90128. Incidentally Kernow have a package deal for 90129 with 2 Heljan Cargowaggon flats for 269 which is a good discount, but I don't need those wagons!

I think it's a re-draw, as the original sheet didn't include the /0 alternative numbers. On the subject, of 90130, What colours did you use to paint 130? I was wondering if they used original SNCF shades or the closest UK colours (or if the 2 are the same!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got with rail grey for the lower band, and what became RFD international grey for the upper body and bog standard orange for the orange. Same approach coming for 90136 which is next up after sleeper 90021. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson Street IEMD Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Quick question folks, is the chip which goes into the second batch of Class 90s different to that of the first generation ? so a chip going into an EWS 90030 - 32-619 ... in effect ... or one just like it ?
