More superb work! Looking forward to seeing the Centro 150, I haven't seen one done before. 

Looks absolutely superb as always! I must get round to getting some stock booked in with you

Credit where it's due mate that 222 looks better than the real thing! Really is superb, now when are you starting the EMT set  

Looks superb! The detail makes the layout look so much larger than I thought it was.

Looks superb! Liking the Fragonset 47 too. Interested to see the 175, is that the CAD kit do you know? Interested to know how it’s powered etc. 

Looks superb! Now, when are you tackling the EMR power car with the spare purple paint?  

That 222 is absolutely superb! Really impressive, now to start the EMT livery one Jack?

More great work Jerry! Reminds me, I need to get my 57 and DVT booked in. Work has been rather manic!

That TfW 158 looks absolutely superb!

More great work Jerry, I'm very envious of that LM 150, looks superb!

Have you considered using something like Velcro for the signs? It makes life easier to swap them over then for each era. 

The rear 57 with 5601 was 57313, now named Scarborough Castle. 

Looks great! Must admit, when funds allow I'm hoping to expand my unit collection. There's something really nice about these work worn DMUs ferrying people around the north. That exhaust looks superb also!

You're doing amazingly well Jim, brilliant to see and for a great cause too! 

Always nice to see your photos and accompanying information too.

This looks superb, looking forward to seeing this progress further!

Thanks for the link, I will have a search on the web to see if  I can find it, and let me know if and when you want one! Cheers Jerry

I think there’ll be a shopping list at this rate! I was going to have a bid on 90021 but forgot about it. Doh!

Just found it on this video rather conveniently, not the best shots but does show it.

It’s already got a home so accounted for! I haven’t seen another one - have you got a link or a picture of it please? Cheers Jerry

I don't have any pics unfortunately but it was on a layout called Foxhampton which was at Stafford show last year: https://www.staffordrailwaycircle.org.uk/layouts/members-layouts-2/foxhampton/

I'd quite fancy one in debranded LM, as per when they transferred to Northern so when the pennies allow I think I know where I'll be coming for one!

More great work! Has the LM 150 got a home or is it coming up for sale? Only the second one I've seen done. 

The DCR 60 looks superb!

The Miller is leased from abroad and does not have all the relevant systems installed for operation in traffic over here. It can only be used in possession, but must be transported by loco’s when out of a possession. The new Miller’s, manufactured by Lindgsinger, are built specific for the UK and transit about the network like Tampers/Stoneblowers and Grinders. There will be two by November, currently we only have one in use. Very different machines and working characteristics, but the principles are the same and they are fantastic bits of kit. Colas are the operators for the new NR machines. 

Thanks very much, I had wondered whether it was something along those lines as to why it couldn't move itself. 

Nice selection of images as always! Out of interest, why can't the milling machine move under its own power between sites instead of being chaperoned by sheds?

Hi Tom, Just had a peek at your Flickr site, cracking photo's on there, certainly going to use some of them for inspiration! Cheers Jerry

Thanks very much Jerry! They're all fairly similar at the moment but hopefully will be able to get further afield soon. Fingers crossed Revolution releases their Drax wagons in OO. 

More great work! These look excellent! Looking forward to seeing how the LM 150 turns out too. Always been tempted by one in that livery.

Kiss of death posting the RTT link!

This is the path for the 69 for anyone in the locality of it:
