Superb work 87023velocity can not wait to see the finished layout, passed this location many many times, Always fancied modelling around the warrington area after spending a lot of my youth around the yards and station area

Keep up the great work!

Superb work mudmagnet been keeping an eye in this thread for a while impressed with your work espeically the weedy buffers how did you achieve such a great finish?

Hi Mophead,

 

Here are a few links to youtube from around 1989-1990. I could be very easily tempted to model this era but going to resist and stick to 2001.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers

Those videos are brilliant lots of easily modellable trains must resist the urge .... 2001 is more of my era my dad taking me on trips out to warrington and crewe good times

Mophead

Thanks, I have always liked AC electrics aswell, I am tempted to model an 86/4 and 87 together on a steel coil working from the late 80's as a one off!

Cheers

Simon

Well if your models are up to the same standard as the 86 and 87 I look forward to seeing them unfortunately I'm a bit too young to remember the steel coil trains only ever seen pictures but always looked fantastic!

Hmmmmm...... So tempted to scrap my oo guage shunting layout now........

Mophead

Superb work 87023velocity simple little details like that have made such a difference! always had a soft spot for the 87's look forward to seeing the finished layout if only my eye sight wasn't so bad I'd love to model warrington bank quay in n gauge

Keep up the good work

Mophead

Keep up the good work Ruston can't wait to see the finished layout always found industrial layouts amazing, shouldn't be really looking at this thread it's tempting me more and more to go out and buy a sentinel instead of finishing my current project haha

Mophead

Wow they look fantastic, So tempted to order one on Friday once it's payday .... But must finish my class 03 in it's queenborough guise... Can see a few industrial themed shunting planks being built soon

Mophead

Thank you for the quick replies I've got a few poa/ssa scrap wagons somewhere stashed away ill after dig them then

Having a look at paul bartletts excellent wagon website I've seen a few mineral wagons in internal use at queenborough that seem to be loaded with scrap?

Hello

I'm currently planning a small scrap yard shunting layout based around the early 80's and wondering if there would be any need for any internal user wagons ? And what type be in use if any ?

Many thanks

Mophead

Another stunning wagon coming along nicely can I ask what couplings you use? they look amazing

Mophead

Supers work Adam been watching your thread since the start amazing work, impressed with your coil j conversion just ordered a iron tippler wagon to convert myself after seeing your work, What colour did you use for the body on your coil j wagon? Humbrol Chocolate? As I can't make my mind up between using humbrol paints or tamiya?

keep up the great work!

Mophead

Fantastic model anybody know if there planning on releasing a transrail grey example?

56007 and 56010 on a few steel trains

mophead

mophead

many thanks

mophead

i wouldnt mind one for my industrial themed layout if i ever get round to building it, but at £115 im tempted with two Bachmann class 03's

mophead

amazing looking wagons i've been planning to build a steelworks themed layout for ages now but keep getting distracting with other projects and the house work....

Good shot of 071 Jo.

 

Great news to hear that the 60 fleet is on the up. I wonder if 60099 will emerge in a new coat of paint? And if so what colour?!

 

 

Does anyone know if 099 has had any refurbished parts added as it seems to have been worked on for a while? Or is it just a patch up and return from store?

 

If today’s TOPs report is correct there are 4 Brush Beasts at Peak Forest, must be a while since that last happened! I presume 39 must have an exam coming up and needs replacing but not sure if 84 is the same. That may explain it, perhaps someone on here can confirm.

 

 

60039 was working 6m22 hunslet-tunstead on friday 24th wasnt sounding to healthy when it set off from the loop at marsden

wow amazing small layout or should i say big layout?

currently planning a small industrial themed layout, hope mines half as good as this
