Impeccably timed posting with pictures of Edinburgh 101's or should I say met-cams' 'Chard. Currently got green Farish on WB getting attention including SC numbers etc In that picture does anyone know if that is an overhead warning panel on the front glass of the unit and if so is it just the one? Can anyone confirm if this was the norm for units of this era? Thanks CJ

Absolutely love that picture. Was never old enough to see such things but doesn't stop me trying to model them. Hope you don't mind me posting this of PP in her cab stripe guise. 60100 her fellow 64A straggler also had the yellow stripe in later life. I'm not if '41 got it or not though. What platform is Palatine standing at in the picture. Is it one of the round the back platforms, 8 or something these days?

Looks good, nice to see a BR blue version. Hope you don't mind but there looks like there is something up with the chassis. Body should sit much better than yours does. Here's my model from the same body from Carl.

What a great picture. That's jaw dropping and a great resource for me. In particular the mixed colour rake of coaching. Superb.

That's a new picture for me and a great one at that. Cheers for that one 'Chard!! :icon_thumbsup2:

Superb....the fine detail of the 2mm is so apparent compared with N....They look superb.

Superb. I'm not sure I've ever seen a picture of a clayton actually on the shed. Seen plenty in the yard I think but not on shed. Superb.

Atso, any chance of a high resolution post of that K3 body in N. I followed your old Rmweb threads with great interest but I'd kind of lost touch in this new forum. I was extremely interested in your progress. This and all the work in this thread is really quite exciting. The thought of what could be achieved is mind boggling.

Nice find 'Chard. I find that a great site but not too easy to search for pictures. You done well...

Love the 64A gronk close-up there.... Also would love to see some photographic evidence of 27 action on the route as well, I've never seen anything either. Good work 'Chard. Most enjoyable viewing.

Great boxing day viewing 'Chard. So many I hadn't seen before despite trawling the superb railbrit site many times.

Not much but there's a small picture of the crash here Shankend Crash You need to scroll though the pictures. No further info though. There's another few pictures on the scran website, but I guess you need full access to get the full size ones. Scran1 Scran2 I'm assuming you've seen the picture of the pranged D364 at Shankend on the wonderful railscot website?

Hey no problem, I've got what I need and its never anything other than a treat to see what else comes up Waverely Route related.

Cheers to everyone.... great pictures and just what was needed. Jermey..... lovely pictures, but at the same time sad but so interesting to see the colour view 'Chard...... well dug out, that's a great picture of Shankend on the signalbox website and that seals the deal. Shankend it'll be.. It'll be a test of my scalescene's ability but I look forward to getting started. Thanks again for the great replies.

Tip-top response....can't ask for more than that!! I've got these particular publications so I'll be sure to check them when I get home (currently working away from home). Thanks for your input.....will be sure to post progress, if or maybe when I get started!! once the xmas drink and food wears off!!

Looking to build a signal for my N gauge layout and thought it would be nice to do a representation of a Waverley Route box considering all the stock is that way inclined. I'm not looking reproduce it 100% but rather I want a box which 'captures' the Waverley Route feel, so from that point of view perhaps one of the most famous boxes on the route would have to be Shankend. I've managed to google a couple of pictures of the box, mostly in its currently holiday home guise but still useful. Just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of any useful looking pictures, in particular no one seems to have taken a shot from the steps end of the box for some reason!! Thanks in advance MHB

That's certainly looking the part....good work

I agree, that base colour you get looks absolutely spot on. Very grimey too, which I love :-)

Certainly got the makings of another superb scratchbuilt project G, look forward to seeing it get closer to the finish.

The two tracks on the far left (left of 26001 in the first picture)are still in place, but everything to the right is gone and is now massively overgrown. The yard in the upper left background behind the fuel tanks is still present in some form or other. Somwhere near where the class 40 is in one of the later pictures there is a spur now for units to sit when they run in from Newcraighall, so they can sit off the main double track into Millerhill.

What a great picture....captures that Scottish feel just right. :icon_thumbsup2:

Interesting stuff, I'd never investigated my MK1's really. Given they are the newer Bachmann ones I'd always thought they were not bad but seeing the ultima underframes makes me think attention will be needed. Also very interested in whatever close coupling setup you get going. I'll be watching closely for that. Another thing I've meant to investigate for some time.

I'd definitely notice and think wowww Well worth it IMHO, and suggested some might not notice but many will.

Superb pictures Bruce, especially the Millerhill one. I just about remember the track in that format before it was ripped up. What year would youe picture be do you know?
