Marcus 37 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hi George Some lovely shots of your resprays especially like 37886 in Metals livery. Agree with Andy, would love to see some pictures of your current fleet. Cheers Marcus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 the depot plaque on the 37 is Tinsley (white rose) Of course it is, looking at it again.., I just didn't associate it with a Metals class 37/8? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hello Marcus / Leon / Andy / Class 66. Thanks for dropping in and the kind comments, the resprays were done about fifthteen years ago when me and Bodgit lived down south, and l was really using up all the spare transfers l had at the time, no research was ever done just did what suited us at the time, l used to spray locos up for many people over the years, and well remember a friend who was really into the Class 56 and he got me to paint about 15 up in the Coal Sector livery he said what numbers he wanted, but on this new venture l will look more closely at the details, pipes, depot plaques etc etc, and try to make a decent model out of them...

Leon Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 That's an impressive line up of 56 power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobster Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Very nice line of 56s George - I am hoping that an RTR O Gauge 56 appears sometime. Cheers, Bob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Evening George, I really am looking forward to coming up and running some PROPPER trains on Bishop Street, I hope you get some good stuff at the weekend and we'll have a good day and look at lots of ideas for you to go home with. Today I have again got rid of some stock that wasn't right for Bitton and replaced it with a couple of bits ready for Bishops Street etc. Firstly the Vi Trains Dutch 37 once fully detailed, weathered and Sound fitted it will be the biz. Then there's the Vi Trains 37 in Distribution that we were looking at on E-Bay the other night. Again a bit of work and some Sound will transform the beast, although I might have it re named and Numbered. Then there is a Hornby 31 in Railfreight Large Logo, I have spoken to Hornby today and they have confirmed that the Box Number is NOT from any batch that had Chassis crumbling problem. Again its to clean and quiet at the moment. None of the above will run on Bitton, but theres also some Blue stock that will also run on Bitton and could suit BS as well, I will post the picks of those on the Bitton thread. Hope you don't mind the pics on here mate. I will be up later if you want a chat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PeterBB Posted January 16, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16, 2015 George - we live and learn. I knew that you had great modelling skills but until reading this thread today had no idea just how skilful you were with the spray stuff. Looking forward to meeting you in a couple of weeks.

Andrew P Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Morning mate, re your comments on Bitton about Diesel sounds, my three favourites are Class 20, 37 and the 66, I'd go for EWS 66 if the front lights were right, they just annoy me.a Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Morning Cav. Welcome aboard, what l want to do is model the modern scene from 1985 upwards so 'Bishop Street' will probably have some network rail yellow locos as well, so its anything goes with all manner of liveries and classes and SOUND fitted as well..

georgeT Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hello Pete. As Bob has said you wont regret it ? l must admit l am well hooked on the sound, as well and l blame it all on that Bodgit guy, why do l listen to him and his locos? hahahaha George Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hers some pictures of some stock for the new venture, the 37 is a vi-trains and the snow ploughs don't look too bad, but the RES 47 is a Bachmann and the ploughs stick out a bit too far so l will have to adjust them as they foul the pipework ??...
