I've been going Scottish lately

I've done some modelling recently and here's some of my output:

 

1. Rail blue Bachmann 47 no. 47 701 Saint Andrew, as originally running in 1979, re-numbered and modified from 47 035 and fitted with a Bachmann sound chip. I own some Jouef Mk3s and a recently purchased DBSO to accompany the loco.

I wanted a companion to my identical sound-fitted Bachmann 47 470 Glenloy which was unofficially named in Oct. 1979 for only a few weeks, the only proof of its existence is a close up shot of its name:

2. Large logo Bachmann 37 424 Glendarroch, sound fitted, this still awaits its etched nameplates, this loco was re-numbered from Bachmann's 37 425 limited edition with Eastfield's scottie dog emblem.

 

3. Chipped and weathered a Hornby 101 blue/grey DMU, it had its outer couplings removed and its bufferbeams painted black.

 

No prizes for guessing Glen and Andrew being my names. A future project will be to model 37 326 Glengarnock in its large logo livery as named in 1986, I already own its later incarnation when it reverted to 37 111 in Railfreight Metals livery.

Hi There.

How about some photos??

I Used to love bashing back and foward between Waverley and Haymarket on the Class 47 push pulls. Standing at the loco end looking through the small connecting door windows at the buffers moving up and down as we were pushed to Haymarket. Then hanging out same end window when pulled back. All done with some of my pals from Dundee area on £6.50 7 day rover ticket that covered Edinburgh, Perth, Dundee and Arbroath. great for Deltics too!

Ah when life was simple and locos aplenty...rolleyes.gif
