    Here are some pics of my weathered first batch 37/4’s. Post RHTT bodysides clean is the look I was going for, in other words how they are now. Of course 419 now has different names and shiny red bufferbeams so maybe that will be the next variation 😂

    Not up to @Daddyman standards but here is my latest take on 37801. Already did it RF style, thought an EWS one was required. Full repaint of modifications as per the real thing in and around 1994.

    My goodness that is off the scale fabulous. Well done. Also glad to hear that you share my niggles about roof weathering. I’m fact weathering in general, and the clean (faded) bodysides instead of the approach that some take where dirt is just clarted all over them. Great inspiration for everyone here.

    I too have just ordered 92042… but for another purpose 😂

    I think it’s also linked to the traffic they could work self contained without a traction change but others better placed would know more. Their regular working - coming south as 4M25 - got merged with the other one - 4M30 - which was lengthened and moved to run overnight to allow them to haul it with a 66 without it getting in the way of passenger traffic. Sad times indeed.

    Think the 90s are doomed alas Kat. Word is 39 is going out of service after its jaunt tomorrow. Might it be back to the future with 92s back on freight work? Time will tell. Apparently 92009 is next for resurrection.

    Me again Fran. 44 and 32 are GBRf machines, but it seems they only put the new lights on the Sleeper/Dellner fitted ones. A

    Hi Fran, I don’t think that 92044 or 92032 got the upgraded lights that the sleeper fleet got, although happy to be corrected. Cheers, Andi.

    And it’s had its bufferbeams repainted red too.
  10. cairnsroadworks
    I think you were lucky 😂

    I have had a nightmare with the latest Heljan 86s. Nothing shifts the decals so had to repaint the two tone grey 😂
  12. cairnsroadworks
    I’m impatiently waiting for a “meh” reaction 😂

    My friend has also had a dispatch confirmation, for 027, direct from AS.
  14. cairnsroadworks
    I’d challenge anyone who hasn’t already had one to be “meh” when it arrives 😂
  15. cairnsroadworks
    I believe 😂
  16. cairnsroadworks
    I used this for my 92044 renumber.
  17. cairnsroadworks
    Thanks for this - I had this tape as a kid so will deffo look it up.

    92029 was having a refurb about 3 years ago then they gave up I think. I will believe the 92 refurb rumours when one is moving on the track!
  19. cairnsroadworks
    We can dream, but seeing DB services in the hands of anything other than 66/67 locos seems increasingly unlikely apart from through the tunnel and on HS1.
  20. cairnsroadworks
    I’d love someone to do 901 with the roof mods!
  21. cairnsroadworks
    Ironically given its imminent arrival in model form in Europhoenix livery, I believe 37608 is next for the ROG treatment.
  22. cairnsroadworks
    You’ve got me!
  23. cairnsroadworks
    Re the latter point, I’ve whined on FB about that too 🤣🤣🤣 You won’t see a 92 with roundels on mk5’s as it never happened. I think 38 was the only one that reappeared with them in Cale blue?
  24. cairnsroadworks
    Indeed. Although that period didn’t last long. 38 was the first to be fitted with Dellners and 23 was overhauled, as were most of the Cale ones, whilst they were still hauling the mk3’s, so didn’t get the Dellner till later.

    This was my post with the details.
