    New arrival

    By Ivatt46403,

    A new arrival was at home when I came back from a week in the field today - my new TMC lightly weathered eastern region horsebox. Seen here being shunted in the yard.
     

     
    This will make an appearance from time to time at the end of a passenger train at Buckden.

    It's been said many times before but the first and easiest thing you can to do make a RTR loco look better is bung some real coal in it. So ok this is by far the first thing I did to these two but I finally got around to it and it really makes a difference I think!
     
    The Ivatt was simple as the bunker is fully modelled below the plastic load, so you just whip that out and stick some in. The 3F required a little surgery to get enough depth for a convincing pile but that done I think it looks lovely.

    A rare passing move at Buckden, as 3F 43257 passes Ivatt 2MT 46446 in the loop.
     

     
    Real coal!

    By Ivatt46403,

    My namesake was caught, illuminated by light cast from the signal box last night. Presumably pausing before departing Buckden to refresh her head lamps...
