Always good to see you on here and you are one of my inspirations to get on and model. I think it is safe to say that all of us here on Rmweb are here to help and listen. When you want to speak about anything we are here. Plus we all want too see more of your modelling but only when the time is right for you.

Thanks everyone so much I really do appreciate the kind words 🫡

 

I’m slowly getting back into it and I’m going to concentrate on the stabling point I started for now as it’s only tiny and I’ll work on that until it’s finished.  I’ve finally had my Accurascale 37 out the box she ran it in and this little beauty.  Not my usual era but I had to have one and I have to say it’s one of the best detailed and sounding locos I’ve had.

 

 

Thanks again

Looks like you may have the beginnings of an 80s fleet there! Depending on which locos I put on the layout I can go from late 70s to early 90s and all times in between. My favourite time is 84-85 when most locos were still in banger blue, but the first IC and Railfreight liveries were starting to appear.

I love the mid 60’s because of the liveries the odd kettle and the early diesel’s abs electrics but my spotting days were the mid to late 80’s so I will get a few I’ll be honest, and going by the 56 I think I’ll be ordering a 60 to.  I also have a soft spot for cl90’s 🙄

Grabbed an hour today so I fitted the detailing pack to the 56 and printed off the remaining Templot for the stabling point.  I’ve also printed off the exit road which leads on to the Bootle branch towards ELJ, so I might model this as well.

Cavalex cl56 and the Accurascale cl37 have both now been converted to EM with the drop in wheel sets, the 56 was a doddle but the 37 was a bit of a pain in the ass.

With 093 all finished I’ve turned my attention to my EE type 3, still in the early stages and lots to do
