Hi Ian, I remember you having a problem. Is the cab not fixable. Certainly agree the MM1 has a better shape. I was thinking of getting one to do a dummy to run with my other two but I am worried they would look too different. Cheers Peter.
-
Thats another problem, getting into the cab isn't easy either. you have to lever out the front windows which allows you to get to the screws on the bulkhead. You can then slide up the cab. Just remember once a driver is in place it will make it harder to replace the screws in the bulkhead when replacing the cab. Cheers Peer.

It's been a long time coming but 20059 is finally back together. These things are an absolute nightmare to get the body back on. I still haven't run it yet so I am hoping I haven't crushed any wires. Anyway I am happy with how it looks. Cheers Peter.

Fresh off the workbench today is CD allocated 47455.

I was asked for some info on my old Hornby and lima mk2s. I thought I would share the pics here. I find a painted interior and flush windows really helps these coaches look a bit Better.

Good memories. I only cabbed a few loco's as a young bloke. A class 73 is one I remember. Different story once I started on the railway in and out of loco's all the time as a shunter. Cheers Peter.

Ha ha fair enough. It's not like your running out of things to do.

Hi John, you are making some good progress. I had never heard of a Barry slip but think I saw one in Woking yard back in the day. It took me a while to work it out. I found this the other day. Yours if you want them. Cheers Peter.

Thanks I was going for a cross between Llandudno and Holyhead. Cheers Peter.

Good to hear your still enjoying your S&C Llayout. Sorry the oo gauge isn't going to plan I sure you will come up with something a new model just might inspire you to crack on. Cheers peter
-
Just had a read through your thread. nice looking layout with some great stock loving the 97s done a few myself. Cheers Peter.

Thanks Dave, this is an older Bachmann model which had its faults. My mate did this one for me as a gift. He has added extra pipework detail which varied between the different loco's. I improved his weathering job from copying pictures of the real thing. I think it captures the look of the real one quite well. 47492 has been on my to do list for quite some time the loco had been sat under the layout in bits for a few years. All the best Peter.

97405 ex 40060 has only a few months left in service. Seen here waiting for its next duty on llanbourne shed.
-
Thanks Rick. I will do that. Cheers Peter.
-
Thanks Paul,It does remind me of those books now you mention it. I still have a locoshed and some platform 5 books. I remember when I was quite young looking at the pictures and hoping that one day I would be able to get round the sheds and cope some new loco's. Cheers Peter.
-
Hi Alan. Thanks, I used to do it more often but recently been a bit slack and just posting pics with little info. I've not seen any updates on your thread recently are you still doing any modelling? Cheers Peter.

By 1986 40060 has been renumbered 97405 and spent most of it time pottering around the North West on ballast workings. The next few pics show 97405 having a busy couple of days on some revenue workings. 97405 was on hand at llanbourne to pick up a failed MOD working. Which it brought back to llanbourne where another loco worked it forwards. 97405 spent the rest of the day on shed. The next morning 47492 was low on fuel when it arrived on the Manchester- Bangor Vans, so 97405 was used for the out and back run to Bangor.

Here you go mate.
-
Hi Paul, thanks for that I need to do an order with Modelu so will have a look. Cheers Peter.
-
If I had known that 50149 was working up to Exford I would have gone out for it. I never did see it in that livery. Station area is looking good. Cheers Peter.
-
Hi Paul, superb pics as mentioned. can I ask who does the driver in the class 31. Cheers Peter.
-
A couple more for you. A 101 works a.local service to Chester. 47418 works a Trans Pennine service from York. A couple of 45s on shed. 33010 sits in the middle road while running round its train.
-
25313 works down the branch on a trip working. 33202 waits departure time in platform 3.
-
47492 works the daily Poastal service past Llanbourne's carriage sidings.

Thanks mate, they did run in fairly fixed formations so only right to try and get it as they used to run.
