  1. Looks really good so far Simon! Certainly has the Dallam feel about it for sure, (me living in Warrington) although if you can find about 5 N gauge Chavs you'll be spot on! You could also model an Arriva service using Dallam as a turn back, as i've seen it happen quite a lot when disruption occurs on the Manchester or Chester line where a set is sent down to the signals and over the crossover at Dallam and then departs on the correct line. Before now this has happened as the driver has refused ti start from the ground signal on WBQ plat 4! (this being after all the passengers had been loaded...) The 6F07 flow could look really good too if you ever modelled present day Dallam or an N gauge reach stacker could be plonked outside the warehouse to model the safeway container flow there (think it was either Unit45 containers or Russel ones) and a few white with orange stripe tanks carrying fluoride from the continent. Or indeed a dumped, failed 60009 Union of south Africa, as it would be accurate!

      Kicks the Kernow 4TC into touch. It's only money at the end of the day.

      The WCRC 37 is even better, £200 at Olivias or £129 plus joining fee at Bachmann.

  6. GBRf 'Royal Scotsman' livery 66743 rounds the curve and into York station and under the impressive roof working 1Z24 Malton to York via Milford Jn with day 2 of the 'Majestic England' land cruise by rail. 9/8/16 66743 66746 - 1Z24 - York by Swifty's Rail Pics, on Flickr
  7. With the fun now over, heres 56087 moving back to Basford Hall after its 5 minutes of fame with WCRC. 56087 0C56 at Warrington bank quay by Swifty's Rail Pics, on Flickr
  8. With the fun of local 56s now over again, here 56302 waiting a route at Latchford Sidings with 6C52.
  9. Day 2 of chasing has proved fruitful, with the sun providing! 56113 leads 6C52 Crewe Basford Hall to Latchford Sidings through Coppenhall with 56302 'Peco' on the rear.
  10. At one time class 56s in Warrington were a regular occurrence, but with tugs now on logs the 56s are back to being a sort after rarity. Here, 56302 'Peco' leads 56113 and a Railvac working 6C52 Crewe Bas Hall SSM to Latchford sidings for a possession at Arpley Junction. Here, the locos make their final approach into Latchford ready to await the call for the possession. 26/7/16
  11. Nice to see someone tackling my local! I've planned to do it for God knows how long in 00 but am in need of a room big enough! Look forward to the progress

  14. 73/9s didn't go on the MerseyRail run last night, just no reported and went back to Crewe C.S after testing the other bits of its diagram. Allegedly due to 73/9s not being cleared over certain sections of Merseyrail yet. They should work 1Q43 tonight, 1Q44 tomorrow and 1Q45 back to RTC on Friday.
  15. Update. 90019 with 90024 moved to Warrington Bank Quay yesterday. They worked up on the cars (6X52) Arpley to Mossend and look very likely to work 4M25 Mossend to Daventry on Thursday. The times are as follows (see link) http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/H37735/2016/07/07/advanced 4M25 06:07 MOSSEND EUROTERMINAL - 14:29 DAVENTRY INT RFT RECEP RFD running on 07/07/2016 Train Information Runs on 07/07/2016 WTT schedule runs FSX from 16/05/2016 - 08/12/2016 Operated by DBS General Merchandise Electric Locomotive Timing Load - 1650 tonnes Timed to run at 75mph
  16. 90024 still at Crewe IEMD, not ready yet by the looks of it. Wonder if the plot to get 90019 in the same place for the launch will come off then... 90024 WEAC CREWEIEMD CREWEIEMD F X 90019 WEAC CREWEIEMD CREWEIEMD F N
  17. 90024 released today: 90024 Malcolm Logistics 0Z23 Crewe by Swifty's Rail Pics, on Flickr Loco will work to Arpley tonight to join 6X65 Arpley to Mossend Cars to then meet the intermodal. Word afoot that DB want 90019 there but thats at WEFOC.

      We've had "Should I Stay Or Should I Go". Anyone fancy a rewrite of The Clash's "Rock The Casbah" to read "Block The Tunnel"?
