It’s a track recorder of some type undergoing trials. As it’s new there’s not much info on it yet. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted November 20, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 20, 2021 Hi Andy, is that the same class DMU as seen on your layout? No idea what it is, as my knowledge stops after my train spotting days in the 1970’s when it comes to modern stuff. But I do like the look of that DMU running on the layout. Cheers, Ade. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andy, The loco was named after the wife of John Smith (GBRfMD), the loco being chosen as, I am told, it represented her age that birthday! The larger than normal numbers were part of that!

RMweb Premium Dragonboy Posted November 21, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 21, 2021 Very nice and natural ballasting Andy and being a coastal area I’m thinking you’ll hardly need to do anything other than the lightest touch of weathering. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, and yes the Concrete Sleeper Track will probably have no more weathering, as it represents fairly newly laid Track, I will go heavier in the Yard and old wooden sleeper areas though.

RMweb Gold Donw Posted November 21, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 21, 2021 Nice work on he scenery Andy. I particularly like the curve into the tunnel one small suggestion from the angle of the photographs it could do with a bit more hill on the lefthand side of the portal against the backscene. I know from square on to the backscene it probably looks right but from the photo angle it is not quite right to me. Don 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
