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 👌🏻

Hi Big Jim! Thanks these are fantastic, very useful too - thanks for sharing!

yes i agree. It wasn’t a definitive ‘no’ just, not a for a few years yet…

A welcome announcement (and a pleasant surprise) - not for me as I try keep strictly to my region etc - but great overall for the hobby. Hopefully this helps the argument for more modern multiple units in both diesel and electric form 😃

Taken at Warley on Saturday. Not on my wish list but looks the business none the less. Lets hope for a 43 and matching Mk3’s to this standard please Bachmann!

Nice! Loving the depot scene - a nice array of stock! An impressive fiddle yard too! which evergreen containers have got and from which manufacture(s)? I myself picked up x2 from Dapol at Warley and wanted to build up a few for a container yard in Greenford (see pic below) and they too had variations of Green! Particularly interested in the shorter 20ft examples, Cheers 👍🏻

Not a problem! I thought a few of you on here would appreciate them! I for sure am impressed by the flangeway examples! I was hoping Hornby did have the ASF version on display (& a more positive answer regarding this version!) so after their response im increasingly questioning if I actually saw the ASF example on Hornby’s stand at GETS! Haha For the JNA conversion the body is identical (Cavalex confirmed this), just underside gear, solebar differences and new bogies. Nothing a bit of plasticard and modelling can sort! Will look into the option for bogies once the actual JXA’s arrive, but yes noticed this option for Heljan TEA bogies but as you say, I did notice these are not identical. Brass kits maybe the only prototypical option currently! Either that or S-Kits have a similiar type from memory!

Who else is excited now? 😃 they look great in the flesh!
