Wow a packed full update mate! Balfour Beatty FEA’s are top notch mate and look great now they’re finished! The 3D prints look really good and really make a difference once all painted! A unique model for sure - Deffo needs a second set to match! The metal sleeper loads look good, I am currently weighing up options for my bass loads - this is great inspiration! Which is the number of the SPA pictured? Looks like 460272. @Chris37044 is planning to model that one for a rake on Greenford! The BDA looks good too, looking forward to seeing that progress. The Rapido OAA look great, had a close up look at some during my trip to my local model shop this week. Quality detailed wagon! Tempted to get one and hack the sides off for a mesh sided conversion! If not I may get an EWS example once they hit the shelves! The Flangeway Salmons look great, looking forward to seeing you tackle them with your weathering! Keep up the good work 👍🏻

Bachmann have done that livery on their 47 and I think if the accura release or 37609 is anything to go by I am pretty sure they have the skills to do it!

Yes 313 (& family) have been noted by accurascale as one in the works but not by them...

If the rumour mill is true - there is a 325 in the works by someone...

Great thanks - Looking forward to them arriving on the layout!

Fantastic news! Do we know when these will start to be shipped out to customers who pre-ordered? 😄

wow! just caught up on this thread and your work is amazing! the attention to detail is great - first time i have seen anyone use a Bachmann MK2F for network rail conversions too which is nice to see! Some real great work and so much in a short space of time too! I also really like the support coach, I too have this on my list of conversions! This has provided me with some great inspiration to get cracking with my Network Rail conversions now! thanks for sharing 😀

Wow that looks amazing! How did you manage to 3d print it? Would be great if you could share would come in might handy! Cheers

ahh DR98008! The very same as what I am working on! Any more pics of yours? And how you made it?

Id be interested in a full layout update too. Guy have you ever thought about filming the layout or uploading to youtube. I am sure plenty of people would find it very interesting on the why’s, how’s of everything to do with the layout and your rolling stock etc. It would be great for it to reach a new audience and see running sessions! Just my two pence! Look forward to seeing the next update 🙂

thanks very helpful. Will do the same!

thats the type! Thanks thanks for the helpful info, happy to compromise on the scale issue if its only minimal!

Hi all, currently myself and my brother are building a replica of Greenford, West London in 00 gauge. We are using a mix of code 75 in bullhead, and flat-bottom wood, steel, and concrete (as per the prototype). Although recently I came across an image showing a section where the track where it had a different type of wooden sleeper chair which I would like to use if possible. It has a key like look effectively the same as the concrete type peco produce in code 75. prototype shown below: i am only looking to replicate it on the sections other than points. Can anyone point me in the right direction to anyone who produces sleepers with this key style chair on wooden sleepers? (If there actually is one available) or advise me on options that we can work on! It would be great to get this prototype correct! thanks

all this talk is really wetting the appetite! Can't wait for our 180 in Dynamic Lines livery to arrive on Greenford!

Ordered mine - excited for them to arrive :)

Great work mate - Can I ask, how did you find getting the lenses out of the light clusters? Struggled on mine with certain ones not having the holes behind the lenses...

If we are wishlisting… 56103 (debranded Fertis) 56301 (debranded Fastline) 56303 (DCR Green) Yes Please 😅

As much as I am a fan of barbie livery, and one of these on a 175 would look great, its most likely the shortest lived livery and I can imagine as it is not current it wont be picked up as much. The comments regarding the previous releases of pendos and 321’s, well maybe they are learning from experience of how well (or not…) larger variety of liveries sell under one batch. I think the expressions of interest was well publicised on here and elsewhere. For me first thing I do when something is announced I am interested in is turn the ‘follow’ button on for that particular thread. That way I don’t miss any talk or information regarding them.

Tempted by one of these. The detail in the under-frame, the thinness of the sides etc all make for a very good looking model and Lets hope they release a EWS mesh sided one in the future… 😃

A quirky little pairing that - i like it! especially as it is modelled from a real life prototype! 😀

interesting. It’s frustrating we don’t get clear answers… have you got the photos to hand by any chance?

Very nice work. The OBA's look very convincing and I'm liking the 90's they all look incredibly smart! 166 looks good too with its LED lighting upgrade!

Truly Inspiring. Is there any weathering job this man can't do? 😆 Saw this in person at the weekend, and it really is even better in person!

Hi James! Just wanted to say how top notch your work is, I have mentioned before but in person it is even better! (If that’s possible!) Your weathered stock looked great on the Accurascale stand at the weekend, well done 👍🏻

JXA up close and personal at Warley. Thanks to the guys at Cavalex for allowing me to have a look outside of the cabinet! I am very impressed 👌🏻
