Twin Peaks! Love this one

And then there were two! Love this one

Great service and what a great looking loco 👍🏼

Go on you know you want to!! I personally think it’s a great model, I know it’s not perfect but what is these days, you defo need one or two 😉

Quite a productive day even if it’s nothing really very exciting to report. The first layer of what roll be the hard standing for the depot has been cut and glued into position, I now need to find something 2mm think for the top layer which will sit just slightly under the rail head, I’ve always used foamex in the past but think I’ll have to use card this time around. Some pics showing the depot from a different angle today, the office building will be slightly butchered and extended so it looks less like a ready to plonk item. D57 is looking quite at home and these Peaks seems to be multiplying as the Postie has just made a delivery from TMC (I’ll get some photos later)

D11 is out for deliver today hopefully

My D11 from TMC should be here today hopefully

Certainly is 🤦🏻‍♂️ worth it though 😉

Little trip to Hattons yesterday resulted in this purchase, first impressions… I like it

So I little trip to Hattons yesterday for some Wills corrugated sheeting resulted in this 🙄

Looking forward to mine to looks great 🤗

Hopefully some more done today

Totally get the reason behind it, I was just pointing out that all models aren’t 100% accurate for one reason or another so having to paint wheels isn’t really a big issue. As regards to popping in cl37 wheels wouldn’t the gap between the bogies and body need reducing?

Not really an issue though, most modellers add their touch to locos with weathering etc, I’d rather have to paint a few wheels than lower the ride height of a loco like you have to do with a Bachmann cl37 (older version) 40 an 55 and as good as the Accurascale Deltic is it hasn’t even got the right sized wheels.

Mine will be the next loco on the weathering bench I best start searching through Flickr for inspiration

Looks great, waiting on my split box from TMC hopefully it’ll be on its way soon

Depot construction under way

Can’t wait for my TMC split box to arrive 🤗

Well this made getting up at 4 in the morning seem worthwhile. Sat at York this morning waiting to work a train back to Leeds and this delightful pair turned up, working 0Z23 Middlesbrough to Crewe

Wow you don’t waste any time! Looking great
