Gets a vote from me too - the name alone would do it of course but we used to do overnights at Stafford until 2/3 am in the early noughties. One night 37114 turned up on a northbound freight - it was a still morning (1 am ish!) and the thrash as she left northbound was pure hellfire - I am sure we could still hear her as she passed Norton Bridge. But then of course there is D6992.... http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/80301-d6992-from-Bachmann-37254/ There are links to prototype photos within the thread - and I reckon one PJKing wont mind if I donate his vote for her too, see http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/82334-dirty-diesels/ Phil

That'll be when the sun is shining again then! May perhaps???? More new motive power and stock by then - Vanwides are coming along nicely, 6 of them just waiting for buffers from DaveF, then transfers and weathering. Bet Bachmann do them this year! 2 more conflats to chain the containers to and weather, plus 6 x 16 ton minerals to add scrap loads to, have something very specific in mind for them, watch this space..... Also APC built from Gramkits model - is now finished - to chain to Lowmac Another 6 Mk1 end vehicles have been detailed over Xmas including working tail lamps, just waiting for transfers from Modelmaster to renumber coaches in rakes before weathering 5528 - paintwork now done, needs a coat of gloss varnish before transfers and weathering 5230 next in to works, Bacchy base model 25245 needs nose end doors adding and boiler filler footsteps plating over before touching up and renumbering D6506 arrived via Santa - Hurrah many thanks - needs a sound chip plus speaker, I reckon that's in line for a Legobiffoman super duper fuel tank installation, already have the tanks to do 5410 and 5382, awaiting the speakers from DCC supplies Then theres layout tidying and some track repairs to do Plus another 6 signal arms to get working.... Keeps me off the street!!! Oh plus there will be the Bacchy class 43 warships at some stage.... If I get that lot finished by Trainwest I shall be a happy bunny. Phil

Abandoned lines crossing
Phil Bullock replied to railsquid's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
Old lines are fascinating! The Mid Wales from Moat Lane to Talgarth is an expedition I have persuaded SWMBO we must do this summer - as I fish both the Upper Wye and Severn for trout and grayling I know the area well but in some parts - eg the Marteg valley - I cant visualise how the railway coped with the topography, Will update with some photos when we make the trip Phil -
I reckon if you are going to try and sell an older model at inflated new prices then its probably a good idea to remove the old price tag first.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-39-025B-BR-Mk1-SK-2nd-class-corridor-Blue-Grey-E26033-Brand-New-/291281401367?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item43d1b97617 Phil

Posted Today, 22:58 Smashing photos Chris This was a few years earlier but the weathering is similar! Different locos but they still probably haven't been cleaned in the intervening years.... http://www.rmweb.co....46290_thumb.jpg Kind regards Phil -

Phil Bullock replied to Swindon 123's topic in Transition Diesel Liveries
Assume 5528 was on the list? Did you finish that one? Heres my efforts so far with 5528 using a Hornby 31/0. Is the Lima shell a later version with engine room door and correct zorsts? Chttp://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/11898-Hornby-class-31-modifications/page-3 Cheers Phil -
