    Good call, the Enterprise livery looks good, would be close to the mark and Silverfox are currently doing Hunslets. Something a bit different to add to your loco roster in time.
  3. Warbonnet
    Nope.

    They were bought second hand in the late 80s or early 90s from a scrap dealer in the UK (Vic Berry, who cut up some C Classes over there) so did not appear in Black and Tan. IR with the white stripes would've been the first livery.

    €70!?!

    Report has been released on Armstrong. http://www.rte.ie/sport/cycling/2012/1010/341109-usada-report-proves-armstrong-used-drugs/ And Saville's name deserves everything it gets.

    There, that's better. Love the video of the 40, looks like you're sitting on the hill looking down...

    simply stunning, keep the good work coming!

    Just given my one the close eye and all seems to be well thankfully. Only thing I don't like is the overspray where the yellow warning panel wraps around to side of the body. Not up to Hornby's usual high standard.
  13. Warbonnet
    It came in a Hornby set with a few wagons, Mr. Bracken will be able to give you more info. It was loosely based on a British GWR prototype I believe and has been churned out in all different liveries.

    Haha

    I hope it's built to American gauge!

    That's the man Rich, he's a great modeller and a stand-up guy too it seems, although I've never spoken to him he seems like a decent skin. Unfortunately I find some of the big hitters on Rmweb, while being in some cases absolutely fantastic modellers, to be extremely condescending and full of of their own self importance. Sadly it puts me off posting on it that much as they seem to be indulged by the hierarchy. But that's a discussion for another time and another place.

    They haven't released much in the last while which I found worrying. However, I read that they are concentrating introducing a big raft of European models (their bread and butter) and are doing the Rail Exclusive Class 47s. I'm sure they'll bring out more locos soon.
  18. Warbonnet
    26s and 27s are pretty much the same too, and also going cheap in Hattons. Haven't had one poor Heljan runner yet, and have around 20 Heljan locos.
  19. Warbonnet
    Nice one Anthony, I have a couple of Heljan 33s (including a 'Slimjim') and they're lovely, especially for the money Hattons knock them out at. Great runners.

    A word to the wise to anyone buying one of these http://railexclusive.com/index.php?category=132 I'll be inspecting mine when I get home later. Needless to say I'm shocked that Hornby would turn out something so shoddy.

    Interesting Robert, I must try that on mine. I saw one with Lazerglaze and it looked great. I agree about the mounting holes for the detail bits, the 47s are the same. But I think they can look good. The Bachmann's bogie sideframes are a letdown for me, they need to be raised and maybe narrowed. The front cab windows are a bit small too. My 37 doesn't have traction tires, I think they did away with them on later models, it runs lovely and is a good strong puller. Pictures Robert, pictures!!!!
  22. Warbonnet
    If you flush glaze them they look decent. Both the Vitrains and the Bachmann version have their strengths and weaknesses. I picked up one for a repaint from Hattons for £36!
  23. Warbonnet
    Interesting, I didn't know that. I suppose if you wanted someone with experience in GM traction you come to the guys who had 30 years of knowledge!
  24. Warbonnet
    Not sure I have the time or the patience to take pics of 19 class 47s Anthony (And they're the ones I know I have off the top of my head!) Weird thing is I always preferred 50s but only have 4 of them. And don't even get me started on 37s!
  25. Warbonnet
    A mere 290 pounds in hattons for the blue pullman
