After what can only be decribed as a ''frustrating'' period of time to get the layout build into what anyone could call ''progress'' The layout build project didnt have a time frame on the project so I guess I only have myself to blame in that regard, it just seems like, at the moment, the Bachmann 90 is going to be available, before my layout build is completed.

I have been trying to distract myself from the above disappointment by developing my loco fleet somewhat, I have added two DB Schenker Class 60s to the Johnson Street loco pool. Class 60s, 007 and 059 are now on board, both DCC sound fitted, 007 is TTS'd and 059 is otherwise sound fitted. 60059 is detail fitted on the front and rear. Add these to the already sound fitted Hornby Class 08 DB Schenker and the two Ex EWS DB 66s, 002 and 065 and my DCC sound loco fleet is looking really quite promising, I sort of regret letting the DCC sound units for a Class 90 and 59 go so easily, with Bachmann's delayed 90 and the forthcoming Class 59 by someone, not sure who, a DB 59 would also be good with sound.
