I have 60098 Trev, needs weathering but is stopping here!

Hi mate Going to have to bring some stock up to stretch their legs! Simon
-
Hi Trev Hope the new acquisitions meet with your approval mate! Simon
-
I never noticed that! Looks like some rectangular cover of some description, might use plasticard
-
Not yet mate, got new central heating going in next month, in the planning stages to make it a roundy roundy. Filling in the time by doing a few triple grey Transrail locos! Simon

Looks like on the nose grilles on one end the dividing bar is there, don't think it should have them looking at pics Simon -
Picked up their limited edition EWS 66050 at Warley, weathered edition, definitely the best weathering I have seen, and the staff are friendly too! Simon

Hi Richard Coming along very nicely indeed, excellent detail Simon

Will look forward to that issue with great interest! Cracking layout and pictures Simon -
Hi Rick Engine house looks cool! Next to the line could almost be the one at Scorrier! Simon

Thought it was getting difficult in sourcing triple grey 60s.... you seem to have most of them!
-
like a whirpool it never ends

I have heard or read there is somewhere in the region of 200. Thanks to OS maps i managed to locate a great deal of them, its interesting the many variations between them, especially the chimneys Simon
-
After spending a week with an unhealthy obsession travelling around photographing most of them, I have ordered 2, may even have another! Simon
-
if anyone else asks me if I was driving that Megabus coach on the M6 toll last week, I will scream!

The glazing is the main point that puts me off the Vitains 47s, Brians laserglaze makes them a lot better, losing that prism effect, must try a pick one up and have a go myself
-
That is quality weathering on the 09, faded appearance is top notch, might have to pop to Modelzone in Brum to see if theres any left at that price! Simon
-
Cheers Vac Basher, looks like both in light blue pre 1990 then. Also plan to do 50026 and 032 (a popular choice!) in early NSE. 13 Vacs and counting! Simon
-
I plan to do 50005 and 041 in Revised NSE (renumbered from 045) however, did they both receive the darker blue? I think 005 did but not sure about 041? and did 005 carry the crest below the nameplate on this version? Simon

Isn't there any one out there that does replacement front nose end for peaks? Could buy a few of the split box ones and replace the noses Simon
