    Final picture. I will put off purchasing another for the time being and wait and see if a class 45/1 or class 46 is produced at somepoint. Steve

    A few more pictures of the peak. One showing an overview. Got my eye on upgrading my class 47 fleet. Again Bachmann or Heljan? Perhaps 47012 renumbered into 47285 might be a start point.

    Well four years after starting this thread. Here she is. Thank you Bachmann

    Well I took the plunge, seeing as I started the thread on RMweb asking Bachmann to produce a flush front peak. I decided not to wait for the Heljan and purchase Bachmanns 45041 First pass on weathering. I have waited a long time to get my hands on one of these. It is about 90% done. Its a bit light in places. But pretty happy with the progress so far. Gave her a little run too, very smooth.

    Daylight pics with the new phone. Working away on my class 45 today.

    New camera phone. So a couple of snaps. Currently weathering Bachmann 45041. And a cargowaggon, I want to recreate a 47 hauled freight out of Dover Town Yard in the early 80s. 47436 hurries through past the yard on the main line line. 31117 sits on the fuel point before being stabled. My Heljan 47s are going to be retired. Eagerly awaiting the new Bachmann one. Hopefully a couple in banger blue.

    I have a fleet of 4 Heljan tubby 47s. I have put a lot of work into them over the years, weathering, built handrails etc. But they just don't cut it any more when sat next to my newer models. So they are up for retirement. Two new Bachmann blue ones for me to start with. Well done Bachmann

    Random Black and White Processed and printed by myself, a bit of trial and error, I seem to remember. Generator at Bounds Green 33 at Swansea 45134 at Temple Meads

    At a guess that one was taken in 1982.

    That's given me inspiration to hack about one of mine.

    47s at Canterbury East Heading up from Dover Town. Incidentally. I am modeling one of these 47 hauled freights with their variety of ferry waggons. Have any of the transfersea vans used to transport the onions ever been produced in some obscure kit form?

    West country large logo 47s Penzance and Bristol Zooming in - Is that a motor rail train behind 47572?

    Clapham Junction And some very modern looking units. Which were a bit of a novelty at the time.

    Depots Landor, Tinsley, Crewe all late in the day a long way from home.

    33023 In the shade of Temple Meads on a hot day.

    Thanks, I have never looked at it like that, now I see why I like it but I have never put my finger on it. Its always been one of my favourites. Kind of every day and mundane in one respect, but kind of captures that essence of that rail blue time for us.
  22. SouthernBlue80s
    It's not a Deltic, but this shot kind of sums up Kings Cross back in the day. Hope you like it. All the best Steve. (It's like there is a little subset of the populus with which 70s 80s rail blue really stirs the soul...and understandably to 99.9% of folks it means nothing) Anyway my rail blue brothers. An every day shot from 40 years ago.

    That night was very cold but atmospheric. I had got off a train from Bristol....I have no idea why. Glad the picture brought back some memories for you. Cheers Steve

    Blurred 50s Poor efforts from a young man. 1982 Paddington and Plymouth in a blizzard.
  25. SouthernBlue80s
    London HSTs Kings Cross. Paddington. St Pancras. I am guessing 1982/3
