    The sets provided by Jo are of a high quality and are easily fixed with mircoset/sol. Great depth of colour in the printing too. I did end up pulling a bit back off with some tape a week and a bit after (I thought) the final glosscote had set, but that's a me problem rather than the product and I think I've hidden it well enough. Great to have a Garfield too as that goes past my house nearly every day. Other sides left blank for graffiti free running too.

    I would recommend an ESU Lokpilot as we are currently working with ESU on a custom set up for that chip to correctly operate the complex functions. Due to the way that the lighting etc works there is no guarantee that a standard out of the box decoder will operate the loco's functions as expected.

     

    Thank you.  If you know this one, is it the basic, the 21 MTC or the NEM660 please?  I think after speaking to a shop this morning that it depends on how the loco is wired?

    Don’t think 60062 got to Lackenby in its current livery. The Jarrow runs again but it’s a Colas job and is usually a 70

     

    Not my pic and a bit dark, but looks like it may have

    I know weathering isn't to every ones taste and this may offend some, but I've spent several hours over the past few evenings making 609 a little more realistic looking, in my eyes at least, for a DRS workhorse. This involved an airbrush and some tamiya weathering powders. The most dramatic part was probably fully repainting the roof with weathered black to remove all that shine.

     

    Just as a note for anyone who's attempting this, the finishing coat over the decals is very thin on this 37/6 batch (or at least on the two I have), and is penetrated much faster than that on the 37/4 I recently did.

    It would seem from what  I can see on Fickr 37608 has never had the the centre plough fitted in ROG colours.

    There are a few pics from it's early ROG days back in 2017 like this (not mine).

    But then the front end isn't as currently modelled with the two connectors.

    Very nice. Currently fitting mine. Have gone for the full plough on 609 but wanted the dellner on 608. Did initially fit it as the loco is now, but the pipes looked really precarious dangling there without any protection, so I've gone with the side ploughs and the dellner, like it was around 2018-2021 (from memory). Always think they look tons better with the plough anyway, and quite naked without it.

     

    EDIT due to brainfart and wrong years
