WCML100

Cant wait! Very much excited for these wagons 😃

Getting very jealous now! These look truly staggering! From the pictures Ive seen, are we looking at the best diesel locomotive made in RTR we have ever seen? When is the next run being announced so I can purchase one (or hopefully more) for Greenford! ex fastline or DCR Green anyone? Maybe even an ex fertis one wouldn't go a miss either! 😁

Bridge looks fantastic at night mate - the lighting really brings it to life!

Great work as always mate! The 60 is one of the best Jag recreations I have seen attempted! JNA / MHA look great as ever with your box wagons! The salmons, wow! They look incredible. That reminds me, I need to start work on mine! Not like I have 100 projects already on the go already! lol

Wow! Incredible work mate. Serious stuff!

How easy was it to take apart? Have you got any further pictures of the chassis? Tia

My bold request... on the multiple unit front. One I think could quite easily please a few (us punters and the pockets of accurascale too..) The Networker family? Plenty of livery variations and physical variations which would be easily done in one suite - some variations never even covered before... 165/0 - 2 or 3 car variations (NSE, Early chiltern with modified lights + air con mods, later chiltern with modified lights + air con mods) 165/1 - 2 or 3 car variations (NSE, Thames Trains, FGW Link, FGW Dynamic Lines with original light clusters and upgraded LED type, GWR Green) 166 - 3 car (NSE, Thames Trains Express, FGW Link, FGW Dynamic Lines, FGW Plain Blue, GWR Green) These liveries cover over 30 years, from London to Oxford / Birmingham. They now also cover the majoprity of the west country and can be seen on the 3rd network too at places such as Gatwick, Redhill, Guildford and Basingstoke. So a very wide scope geographically as well as the time period. Potentially could go one step further and incorporate the juiced units too.. 365's, 465's etc. This would open up to the equivalent of the southern half of England coverage wise.. Yes Bachmann have done the 166, but it is a dire need of an upgrade (DCC being the obvious starting point and the 165's were never even covered...).

That looks good - this should give you a nice medium between just 'letting the train run round' and the option of stopping one in the station while another passes through etc

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing! We are in a similar position with Greenford as we are trying to get a good ‘replica’ - great to hear your methods for Sevenoaks!

Personally, with all of the bells and whistles - I’d reckon in this day and age a fair price would work out around £100 per car. 2 car = £200, 4 car = £400 + around £100 for a sound fitted version on top of the price too…

Nice! I sold my Hornby ones as I anticipate Accurascale will release the early body type sooner or later and the Hornby ones will be no match in comparison especially with the quality on the under frames!

Great stuff as always mate! Would be great to read in more detail how you went about scoping the prototype, how you then put that in to model form and what materials you use etc. 👍🏻

Looking good mate! All very nice rakes! I particularly like the bass rake! Incredibly lifelike! Your coalfish rake, will you will be adding any of the Accurascale later type MHA’s?

Some great work there mate! Glad the DB 67 has been put to good use! I particularly like the Royal pair of 67’s, very smart! The EMT 153’s look great weathered up and interiors look smashing - well done. Top work! 👍🏻

I think EWS is a key and much loved livery in general (at least for me!) but it is still around so not sure it can be quite classed as nostalgic (just) yet! However, if you are modelling the last 20+ years and don’t have an EWS 66? It just simply doesn’t add up! 😅

More EWS maroon and gold please! Oh and 66001 in DB colours with the prototype buffer beam would be lovely too 😃

Would you be able to confirm the running numbers within the sets for each livery please? Thanks

Yeah would be great to have options as a lot of sets ran around in rakes of 14.

The GNER coaches will be the latest 2022 MK3 HST trailer tooling as per the FGW fag packet, East Coast liveries etc previously released in the last year or so - not to be confused with the oxford rail MK3a Loco hauled tooling.

This is extremely promising to hear - are there any further photos for us to have a look at ? cheers

Looking good mate. That wiring is something to be proud of!

Great work on the bridge - really does add so much 'feel' to the station!

Ordered a pair of the super tench. Looking forward to these arriving on the layout!

Wow - seriously impressive stuff that! Well done 👍

Just cane across this thread and following with interest! The push pull sets look great. I would definitely follow these up by purchasing some 68’s / 88’s, matching flask wagons and for sure some more variety passenger stock wise in the form of a couple of 156’s (as others gave mentioned maybe one in the RAF livery as it was s common feature, and even one in the standard northern white livery). Regarding your track layout, I would definitely model a section with a passing loop for operational interest. A single loop in the scenic section would get boring fairly quickly I imagine. Maybe do the old trick where the station is half on scene and half off? (Footbridge as the scenic break maybe?) - That way you save space and it can built into the storage sidings, whilst also meaning plenty of scenic space for the single track section for those ‘picturesque’ parts of the layout! Just my two pence! Looking forward to see this progress 🙂
