Fantastic layout, it's giving some good inspiration to have a go at something similar, what's the dimensions of it please.

Yes you are,and if you think the 24 sounds good,wait until you hear this,one of the best sound files I've ever heard.

68s ugly? 😲
Someone needs to go to Specsavers. Probably the finest looking engines built since the end of steam.
Best sounding loco since the class 56.

Several of the former Levisham volunteers are now volunteering at the Yorkshire Wolds Railway, they've all been made very welcome and are already making a good input into things.

But, unlike their O3, Bachmann have previously ruled out a retool for their O4, which is in dire need of a 21st century mechanism.
Rapido made a statement of intent, but then changed their mind.

Exactly why I suggested it,o gauge would be very useful aswell.

I know there a minefield of variants but a class 04 would be good,plenty of livery options,BR and industrial so would appeal to a lot of modellers,and to me Dapol do seem good at the small locos.

They're making the guy who has pretty much kept the diesels going for 30 odd years redundant, good luck with that.
Not Mr Fussey?.

Prestige 4x4 only one is as such, and comes from solihull.
The super expensive non LR are just adverts of bad taste. Basically all the rebadged VW 4x4s, except the VW
Maybe, but their a lot better made and a lot less nickable than a JLR product.

The kit I am building is the Connoisseur Models one in 7mm scale. It is a very nice kit indeed and I have hardly had to alter anything to make things fit together, although I chose to upgrade a couple of items, like the brake pull rods. It still needs a few more details adding, like sand boxes, front lamp irons, hooks for the shunter's pole and a few other bits.
It does include quite a lot of alternative parts, including some for industrial versions.
I attach a couple of snaps, posed on the Colin Marsden book that has a nice photo of 11111, with no skirts. I my have to drill some holes along the edge of the footplate to represent the fixings for the skirts.
That's looking very impressive,I got one at the recent NEOG show to be 11103 in black.

This is why they are known thoughout the trade as the Ecoboom !
Yep that's how we know them,got to be one of the worst (car) engines made,more so considering it replaced the Zetec which are next to no bother. Interesting to note that the later Ecobooms are chain driven but the oil pump is still belt driven.

They look excellent, any chance of an O gauge version please???
They would be very popular in o gauge, also the swan neck concrete type aswell.

Another vote for the Jamie Goodman sound file,IMO it captures the Western sound perfectly, the Legoman was a big disappointment.
